So far it's looking like the Goldwing National Rally!   :whistle  :beer

Ironically I probably would have taken the Versys had I been able to make it.

Got home just on 11am after getting rained on while waiting 20 mins for roadworks at Cunninghams Gap then continuing to cop it all the way down through Aratula Boonah Beaudesert Jimboomba back to Brown Stains.

Another great event thanks to the efforts of the Dave's Diesel and Shiney,Carrol,Leo,PC & Marion.
Good to see the usual faces and some new members joining the fun too.

See you again next year at  :o

Edit : thanks to Jo Glanville for the Friday catering and that well loved well travelled donut machine   :Chocies

Shonee and I have had a wonderful time at the National Rally. Great conversations, a great ride for me on Sunday, and lots of laughter, which was very much needed.

Congratulations to the award winners.

Thank you to all who donated to the Shave for a Cure with WendyL.

Thanks especially to the organising team.

The you everyone.

Safely home after leaving in the rain following Timbo.

As luck would have it, we overtook a Semi coming down the range who gave the horn a short beep.

As I exited Withcott, the phone rang, and it was Tding. It was him driving the Semi. :grin

We had a bit of a chat for quite a while.

The rest of the ride was mostly dry, so we started to heat up, but we were so close to home that we kept going.

The logo for this year depicts the famous giant flag and flagpole at Picnic Point in Toowoomba.
This flag can be seen up to 20kms away as you travel in from the East (Brisbane/Ipswich) side and prepare to ascend the range up to Toowoomba.
The shirts and underlying colour of the logo are the infamous maroon of Queensland.
The logo for 10 years ago at Toowoomba featured the legendary Cobb and Co. stagecoach as this location was a major destination for them way back, and there is a wonderful museum showcasing some of their equipment.
Someone has pictures of the old Vs new shirts compared with each other, so please post them up here for all to see.
Cheers, Diesel
