Looking into camping as well. There are free camp sites (and paid showers) there and also a campfire hopefully, (however, National Parks are testy in this area, so if no fires are allowed this will make a difference).
6+ hrs of riding in one day is more than Terese is happy with at this stage, so an overnighter is on the cards. Probably cold at that time of year tho and might end up coming myself and returning on the day.

Seems like lots of options at this stage. Tentatively, Terese and I will both be there.

Re: The Putty

Postby TOURA » Thu Aug 29, 2013 9:47 pm
ANYONE travelling on the Putty for the next 3 weekends, make sure your bike is "fully legal".
No HID headlamps, no Staintunes without baffles, no driving lights without cut-off switching.
Make sure any attachments are attached to the manufacturers tie down points.
All auxiliary tanks MUST be certified by an engineer.
Ensure that your helmet has the Australian Standards Sticker on it.
Oh! and Ox.....you are only allowed TWO additional auxiliary lights. :x

They ain't out to grab speeders as such, but they are designated as "defect finders" while up there.

9 patrol cars are listed to "blitz" the road for another 3 weekends - and their priority is bikes.

And DO NOT OVERTAKE a yellow ute where you ain't supposed to, and make sure it is at the POSTED speeds.

Other than that, enjoy your ride!

We used a white ute once in an enforcement down on the Victorian border years back. Didn't work that well because, as you can see, once it gets noticed, everyone knows about it. I don't think it is cricket really. Just being out there and getting seen slows people down for a while. Just finding new and more devious ways to get the book out. Don't start me on the myth of quotas.  :well

Hi Dave,
After 3 months with the bike off the road due to a stuffed alternator, today I managed to fire her up, the new alt was doing what it should and I even managed to get the swing arm back on all by my lonesome......I'm so proud of myself.  :hatwave
Anyways, I'm hoping to get it on the road and tested by Wednesday and give myself a few days to ensure all the nuts and bolts are nice and tight.
So all going well  :thumbs I might bring my son along as well, he's 17 and in year 11.
I'll give an update by Wednesday on how the STeed is coming along.

Happy fathers day

Post by: STroppy on September 02, 2013, 07:43:00 PM
Dags, I am in Kambah and will also be going to this RTE.

I have been talking to SAAZ and we are discussing route options - a favoured one at this stage is to go through Sutton, Gundaroo, Gunning, Crookwell, Taralga (short section of gravel road between C & T), Oberon, Lithgow then along Bell's line of road, Bilpin, Kurrajong Heights, East Kurrajong through to the Putty Road north of Windsor and then on to the Cafe.

Total one way distance of  about 485 Km. in order to make it to lunch by 12 on this route, we would need to be on the road by about 6.30am.

The other option is to take the highways, quick-n-easy, about 400 ks & possible Toll Roads.

Are you interested in joining us?

3. Received a dash shelf from TJ in QLD and that is installed with a bewt RAM connection for my iphone.
4. New oxford heated grips installed (go figure, bought 4 months ago and did not get to use them through winter as the bike was off the road for 3 months)  :thumbs
5. Tonight I change the fluid level in the final drive and put on the tupperware (will have to find all the blasted screws now). All up an estimated 2 hours (1 hour at least to find the above mentioned screws)  :hatwave
6. Finish off with a short ride tonight to check everything is honky dorry.  :beer
7. I voted last night, tick in the box for an early start on Saturday if needed.  :rockon
8. Decision, will StGeorge and Mother Therese together with the Gong mob come through Illawong/Menai and if so can I ride on with them or should I cross Sydney and head south to Narellan and meet up with the guys there. 

Some one from the Gong mob contact me and let me know which route you are taking.  :phone

What a Great Day  :thumbs

Got to Narellan 9am as planned then Hayfever set in so stayed outside sneezing and coughing.

Phone call came that Big Bird aka Bringellian was waiting at Luddenham for us so I headed off Leaving Neale to guide everyone else.

Met Mike and headed of to Grey Gum at a leisurely pace  :crackup

werent the first to arrive but did get to have the pick of the tables and some quick service, before the hoardes arrived.

Cant remember any names even though they were on shirts.

Till next time thanks for a great first OzSTOC outing.

Ian (not the name on Shirt)

I will iterate what Ian(not the name on the shirt) said, a great day with new and old faces.

Great trip up and back with not much traffic, thanks for the company on the ride up and back Ian, sorry to the guys at Narellan, but we waited as long as we could in the sun, but had to get going so the aircon would work.

Oh and I remember one name, I think it was Fiona? Is that correct?  :grin

Great day out with good company, I must remember to order a shirt, oh and maybe bring the ST next time too.  :beer

As said, had a great day. Kicked off by voting early then over to Maccas and met up with A2Z and Fiona, Johnny Yted and Ruben. Took the direct route up Northern Rd at the speed limit as Fiona is still finding her pillion feet. The ride up was still very enjoyable as the Putty Rd is a windy windy.  Got to Grey Gums around 1130hrs and met up with Robert, Single and the Bringellian. Abe and Ben arrived next in the cage and then Peter the Blueheeler. Also met Kingy, JMW for the first time. Had a great chat with a bunch of good folks. The ACT contingent rolled in late due to coming up via the long way. Met Saaz, Terry, Darryl and his boss. Had the obligatory pics taken and then departed. An uneventful ride home but lifted the tempo a little to enjoy the bends.  Looking forward to the next one. :thumbsup :runyay

P.S. Don't forget the BACA ride on Sunday the 15 Sep commencing at Moorebank around 0830hrs (for the ones not going to Inverell).

Good to meet some new folks at the Grey Gums, all good people.  Good day out and about, got home at a tad past 5.30pm with about 620ks on he clock for the day.  I've finished washing the dishes after dinner and now enjoying my ??, oh sit, I've lost track again, alcoholic beverage. Catch up again soon.

The more I ride this St1300, the more I like it.

 :dred11 :dred11 :13Candy :13Candy  The Narellan crew were Neale, Ruben, Allen and hiswife Fiona(?) and myself. 2 ST13's and 2 ST11's  all RED. we left Macca's and had an easy ride along the Northern Rd across to Windsor then along the Putty to Grey Gum.
It was Fiona's longest 2up and she appeared calm and relaxed on arrival.
It was my first OzSToc ride and was great to meet a great mob.
The ride back home was good  but my Steed started getting hot,, :well quite HOT. I peeled of at Richmond Rd to stop in on family and let it cool down. My thermo fan isnt starting,,,hmmmm... where to start to find out why. I'll post a question in the relavent forum area..
I'll LQQK forward to the next RTE and other events to join the fun..

Thanks everyone for the enjoyable day out. Just a short ride for me, but fun all the same. Nice to meet some new people and look forward to many more days out on the ST. ( More red ST's than black I reckon on this occasion). We will address that situation on another ride!!!!!! Thanks again people!!

Good to catch up, although briefly as the Canberra contingent were a tad late in arriving, and we were obviously wearing the wrong deoderant as many departed shortly after our arrival . . .  :Blow

It was a long hot ride today, I did 892 ks round trip for a thai chicken burger, nice it was but it was a few familiar faces and some new ones that really made the trip worthwhile.  Hopefully we will see some of you up at Inverell next weekend along with some of the Qld contingent.

I got there late so don't know what to write. In time to get the flag picture.  Had a great ride in good weather with STroppy and Dags (actually Darryl and Sue).  Riding 900kms or more for lunch is probably not ideal though, as left at 7am and back at 7pm.  So more incentive for RTEs down this way. I have my main man (Sarge) on the case.

Thanks for another great OzSTOC RTE!  In spite of the heat, it was still a fun ride and a good lunch with some great people. Fiona came along for her first RTE and thoroughly enjoyed it.  As a new pillion rider she had her nervous moments but all in all, had a blast. She extends her thanks to everyone one who gave her tips on riding pillion and how to overcome her nervousness.  She can't get over how nice and friendly everyone was.  She's now looking forward to her next RTE.

As Fiona was still unsure about this bike thing, she has been using my gear to ride in until she decides whether its a goer or not. She is now keen to start shopping for her own gear. Thanks guys! You've made my life just that much easier.  :runyay

Cheers! :beer

Leave pass granted very early Saturday morning so no time spared getting outa the house before my luck ran out..... :KissBlow (she really is a good woman).

Straight up the concrete for me and voted at Richmond before heading out early along the Putty Rd
Was a treat to get there early and watch every one turn up spasmodically  :wink1 .....
Was a even more a blessing to eat early before the Sand storm started... :nahnah

Great to catch up with you all again and even better seeing all the new faces every time.
Another prospective member was issued with a card at the café as well.

Untill next time we meet, Ride safe and enjoy.

My post's a tad late, but I thoroughly enjoyed the run (after the GPS spat the dummy and got me lost) and was good to catch up with old mates and to meet some new ones too.
It was also nice of the boys in blue to take the day off. 
Looking forward to the next one.

Cheers,
Peter.

There is some information in the Pillion section that may help Allen, and dont forget the deals from our "Preferred Suppliers" when shopping for new gear.
