OK, I'll be there at or before!

Now as to chipping in for eats/drinks etc. how are we handling the financial side of this? 'cause it's not really fair for us to invite ourselves to Tipsy's place then stick him with the bill! Should we all bring some cash to make bail??

We're heading up to Rainbow beach camping for the weekend.  We hope everyone has a great time at Tipsy's place (that's a given I know), and I hope it puts a massive smile on Tipsy's face seeing his driveway packed full of St's.  :thumbs

Post by: Whizz on May 15, 2012, 08:24:20 AM
Great work Harieg, however I think you've made a slight booboo, in the written instructions you say to turn left from Main Street (south of the river) onto Linton Street, then left onto Wellington road. If you go this way then you will miss the Mobil servo completely and me and others will be there waiting for you all day. I would suggest that you instead turn left onto Vulture Street (only one street further on), which takes you right past the front of the servo.

Sorry to nit-pick.

i havn't made a mistake
you try Google maps to plot a route
say Caltex Carseldine via old northern road to the Story bridge
"G" maps WILL change your chosen correct route from  Carseldine to Storey Bridge  VIA GYMPIE ROAD  AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGG

and I had checked the way points 4 or 5 times
AND STILL Google maps thwarted me

Qld rego and plate..doesn't do anything for me really  :p

Yep cold is what it is even when riding in NZ in Nelson (S.I.) in the middle of winter and if you do not tense up against it you do not feel it so much ...unless you got baaaaad knees... about to take 3rd painkiller for the day and they are meant to be 1 every 12 hrs

Saaz, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate. The lowest recorded temperature for Esk was -0.2 degrees C on 31st May 2006, and the lowest recorded temperature for anywhere in Queensland was recorded at Stanthorpe on the 4th of July 1895, when it was -11 degrees C.

Sorry mate, this is Queensland, it's not been -15 since the last ice age...and you are NOT that old!!

Saaz, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate. The lowest recorded temperature for Esk was -0.2 degrees C on 31st May 2006, and the lowest recorded temperature for anywhere in Queensland was recorded at Stanthorpe on the 4th of July 1895, when it was -11 degrees C.

Sorry mate, this is Queensland, it's not been -15 since the last ice age...and you are NOT that old!!

Goodonya for researching it.  You beat me by half an hour!  I knew it had BS written all over it.  Looks like we're going to have to watch old saaz now he's retired- thinks he can get away with any old cobblers.     :well

The recorded temperature must not have been taken at where I was camping (camping ground in Esk, in the shadow of the mountain which made it worse).  Belstaff jackets were frozen solid, bikes would not start using starter motors as too cold. The lowest temp mentioned is for Gatton, not Esk, but I don't know what difference there might be.  What made it worse that the weather was nice and warm in brisbane and mapleton just before that.

Anyway, I think it was probably -20c now that my memory has been refreshed...perhaps -25c ..perhaps..

Well here's a first pass ride report.
After what felt like 9,000 sets of traffic lights we arrived at Tipsy's house to be greeted by the man himself, his brother and two sons...and the most fantastic feast I have seen a many a long year. It would be a downright insult to call it a BBQ, Roast Pork, Roast Lamb, veggies, dressings and heaven knows what else. Others took pics of the repast, not me, I was too busy stuffing my face!!!

Tipsy, you should become a chef!!

Anyway, Harieg seems to be beating himself up because of the sheer number of traffic lights we had to get through to get from the middle of Brissy to Victoria Point. Mate, don't, they are a factor of urban life in cities that we simply have to deal with...we all got some valuable practice in slow-speed driving!.

Here's a few pics, and I know Diesel took others.

When we left we all headed for the Pacific Highway and once there split up to head home by our own routes. A great afternoon was had by all, it was hot and sunny with not a cloud in the sky, and everyone (I think) enjoyed themselves very much. My personal thanks to Tipsy and his family for making us welcome and putting on such a terrific spread, mate you certainly have a calling there!.

Cheers all

-4c is just normal here, just had a few -2c days all the last week.  Seems like we are getting a record of more than 8 days below zero in a row.  -6c is not chilly, just quite normal...now below that seems a bit cold even to me....

following the BAD comments about the NSW rego on GoldieST,
for the Tripsy to Tipsy, I would like to offer the following STORY

last week i rolled up to the QMT to transfer the rego
ALL paper work completed satisfactorily, it wont be long now, and she will be sporting a Qld. plate  ahhh

WRONG
the bike is registered in NSW till October, was rego'ed for 12 months
BUT, whats this, it is on the NSW reparable write off list ?????

(( for those of you with a bit of spare time)) {{ like an hour or 2 or 3,
go to their WWW and read the HORROR story,}}
AND the rego cant go through in Qld., UNLESS nsw OK's it.

come back next week I am told, while Qld. contacts NSW  !!!
Mon. 21st. get a phone call, bring the bike in for an inspection !
NO it has had an inspection already
NO that one doesn't count, we need to see it !
so today presented myself to the counter member
checked the vin, checked the single seat label, checked for oil leaks, reassured himself no pillion pegs, cant remove the cowl in a hurry
OK HarieG
lets go back inside
25 minutes later and $363:80 .  12 months single seat rego COMPLETED
plate IS on the bike, label due in  5 to 10 days

What a hassle to get put into your name.

Don't get the problem if it was all ready registered in NSW. Must have been approved to be registered

Mine come from Victoria. previous owner gave me signed transfer papers.
I took to local SA Rego Office with the completed SA paperwork who then made the appoinment for inspection. A Check of VIN numbers and the approval number on the VIN plate. Take that paperwork back to rego office, pay all the fees, collect plate and label (printed). Fill in paper work for return of plate to Vic and refund the balance of Vic rego to me. Total proces from picking bike up in Vic and into SA rego was about 10days and no phone calls interstate as details on Vic rego papers matched the bike details.

Post by: Skip on May 21, 2012, 07:28:33 PM
Yeah ditto Alan. I picked up my previous bike from "Blues" territory and was just a matter of getting a Qld roadworthy, even though it was currently registered in NSW, and off to the Qld Transport Dept. No worries at all. A few years back mind you. Had the STeed for almost 5 years now. The repairable write-off thing is the only snag I can see there Harie.

Even with all the traffic lights :eek it was a good run :thumbs but then again any chance to get out with the OzSTOC guys is a good day out :thumb Carrol and myself had a great time :grin
Thanks again guys :hatwave

PS: I’m looking forward to seeing all the pictures Diesel took, they should be good :thumbsup

Now everyone can go back to talking about Goldie and the weather :rofl :rofl :rofl

But since you mentioned it......a heat wave for you this time of the year for you. Same for us here.....16 to 17 for rest of week with a few lows of 5 or thereabouts.

OK - here is my view on the Tripsy to Tipsy.

I have put a link below to the pics I took - but this one has to get special mention.....

(http://i49.tinypic.com/2e3y4hc.jpg)

Not often you have 700 horsepower worth of STs parked on your front lawn eh Tipsy?

Anyways, I'd like to thank HarieG for being our great and trusty ride leader - we all arrived in plenty of time, and very safely thanks mate - Cheers!

I'd like to also thenk all the OzSTOC punters who came out for this ride as you all made this a great day with your company.

The biggest thanks goes, of course, to OzSTOC's newest and greatest chef - Tipsy! Thanks mate for letting us invade you.

Your hospitality was absolutely first class, and your culinary talents were second to none! It was a pleasure to meet and 'hang' with your fam too. You have a great mob there mate. Now just hurry up and get those bloody 'bumblebees' seen to so you can come out again won'tchya!

Thanks again and enjoy these pics......

They are the beautiful 'Glasshouse Mountains' ol mate - 8 mins out my driveway. Iconic Sunshine Coast Hinterland geography. I stopped at this elevated spot for a quick snap on the way back from Tipsy's.

I keep telling you - come and see me sometime - I've got some of the best riding roads around right near me - just ask Shaun and Thomas - the pooch!       :thumbs

I can verify that. I love that area of the world. I used to live at Caloundra and Alexandra Headland and just adored heading west into the hills. The temp drops a few degrees and you can't beat the roads and scenery.

Looks like a great time was had by all. Well done Tipsy. :)
