Can't make it.  :'(.  As it is my working weekend.
I don't know why but most of the RTE & Overnighters happen on my working weekend  :well
I guess who ever organises these rides is also a shift worker and is on opposite weekends to me  :cuss

I'll try to make this one. The museum is a place I've driven past many times, but never visited. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have. Might be a trip down memory lane.

Hey Paul & Bluey, do you want to meet at Ipswich somewhere and ride out from there? If we can organise that can someone pick a time and place to meet.

RexJ - I'm coming from Burleigh Heads and my plan is to go across to Canungra, Jimboomba, then up through Ipswich and along the hwy to Haigslea (If I have a choice, I often take the least direct route). If you suggest a time and place in/near Ipswich (please make it simple, I don't know Ipswich well) I'll do my best to see you there.

This is my route: http://goo.gl/maps/OH2vQ (http://goo.gl/maps/OH2vQ)

Hi Bluey,

How about the Caltex at Blacksoil, just down the hill from where you'll come onto the highway.  I'll be there just after 0900 and wait for you, and anyone else who wants to.

Call me on 0418 874771 if you need to.  See you there.

Title: Re: S.E QLD Saturday 25th May Australian Motorcycle Museum
Post by: Bluey on May 23, 2013, 08:49:29 PM

I should be able to find the Caltex - no problems. See you there sometime shortly after 9.00.

Post by: RexJ on May 23, 2013, 08:51:25 PM

Done. See you there. Watch out for all the crazy truck drivers who use the first entrance as a landing pad.

Hey Streak,

The wife and I have decided to take the scenic route via Flagstone Creek, Ma Ma Creek and Gatton. You up for a ride in the country?
Will have to leave about 15 min earlier though.

Do you want to meet somewhere closer to Flagstone Creek Road? We are in Harristown, near Clifford Gardens. Would Middle Ridge Park on Stenner Street suit you?

I'm IN!  (unless I txt Streak to the contrary). Sounds like a great lunch is to be had afterwards at the Sundowner. A great op home from there for me through Lowood, Fernvale & Mt Glorious! Thank you very much.       :grin


Hope to see youse all there.

A great day. Despite the very gusty wind, also a great ride.

The museum was a trip down memory lane, for sure. Maybe it is sad when your history is considered to be worthy of a museum. Many of those were real bikes (not just museum pieces), probably for most of us.

I will go again next year.

Post by: Streak on May 25, 2013, 06:57:56 PM

Well it was a fantastic day!

Met up with Chris in Toowoomba and headed down the back way to Gatton and up the museum, was great to see 5 ST1100 sitting there And not a 1300 in sight(jokes)...

Diesel was a late roll up so it made 12 of us all up!

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd499/ozstoc/null_zps73a25617.jpg)

It always amazes me the history and the conversations that are caused by being amongst all the bikes, listening to everyone talking about the bikes they have owned, or want to own before the die..

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd499/ozstoc/null_zps5c23cfe3.jpg)

There was certainly some strange ones as well!

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd499/ozstoc/null_zpsc1c34976.jpg)

Then lunch! At the Sundownder Hotel, where we found a blue ST1100 who was amazed to see all these Szt's parking around him! Food was great, all in all it was a great RTE, good people and good food!

Sorry Pockey.       :whistle


Awesome day out, and a great ride over Mt Glorious to get home.


Thanks to all for making it another rip snorta!

  :dred11  Great day out, followed by relaxing lunch.   :eat :beer  Amazing how yesterday suddenly becomes famous in a museum. Being part of it never seems to cross your mind whilst you're creating it.

I never thought much about pain riding years ago, and I never related it to museum history, but time does things to ones thought patterns and I heard a few comments yesterday like...' But gee they were rough'...and 'You wouldn't be a pillion on that thing.'  :grin  :thumbs as well as ..'but ...,  it could go!!

Then there's the thoughts of how well off we could have been if only we'd kept it. Bikes we paid a few hundred bucks for new, now worth $$$,000.
If only we'd known - if only we'd had a De Loreon, and a screwy professor for a uncle!! :rofl  :crackup  :rofl
We now know where there's a DMC :o :eek

(P.S. You guys with the older ST1100's  maybe should be thinking about the longer future)
