Unfortunately, no show for this one. I have some maintenance issues, at Benalla, to sort out.
The next one should be fine.
Take care all.

It's looking like it's going to be a quiet RTE!  :-[
The weather at this stage is looking a bit damp as well, but hopefully that may change by Saturday... :X

Neither Helen nor I have shaken off our colds as yet, so we are NOT definites at this stage.  But it is fair to say that if we are going, it'll be in the car (again), snug, warm and dry, to minimise any risk of this effing cold returning.

Half a dozen should be rowdy enough 🤓

Especially when you see the names of some of the people involved.

Is it too late for NandV to register as attendees for lunch @ The Royal Hotel in Drouin this Saturday.
In fact make that for 3 as we will also bring our eldest daughter Melanie too.
We will be in the car as our ST is currently away enjoying itself in tropical Darwin before moving on to Cairns & back down the balmy eastern seaboard to Sydney.
After a short break in the’ Harbour City’, NandV will head out to pick her up and bring her back home to not so balmy Castlemaine here in Victoria.
Hear from you soon
Cheers
Neil & Valerie

I'll add you all to the list as I can't imagine another 3 being a problem but I guess Michael will let us know if it is!  :grin

  • Garry and Chris. In the cage I guess.
  • Nigel

:runyay

Will we end up having any bikes at this RTE?  I suspect not... :whistle :popcorn

Not to worry, it will be great to catch up with everyone, regardless...  :thumbs

Not the best day to ride to the RTE … but then again when you live in Melbourne how many ‘best days’ are there 🥹
It remained dry till we got to Drouin and while warm and cosy inside the pub it drizzled outside… cleared up when we all came out so had a COLD but fairly dry ride back home
Was lovely as always to catch up with all of our VicMob & I definitely ate a lot
Here’s to seeing everyone again in August

Yet another successful RTE with 10 attending in spite of the lousy weather!  :thumbs
It doesn't happen very often these days so I'm happy to report that the Honda ST1300 was in the majority with not a single BMW or other inferior motorcycle in sight! :whistle

Anyhow, it was great to catch up with everyone and as JD said, it was nice to have Melanie join us for yet another RTE.

Here are a few more pics...
