Hope the weather is better than July 2019, when the max. for the day was 9c.  I'm planning to be there on the ST1300, but given the weather, don't include Helen.

Fingers crossed it won't be too cold... :X

Just a heads up, if anyone is thinking about making it an overnighter, there is only limited accommodation at the venue.
Being ski season, accommodation around Mansfield is likely to be scarce...

Just a bit of a heads up, the Tatong Tavern has limited accommodation available for those that would like to make this RTE an overnighter...https://tatongtavern.com.au/bed-breakfast/
As of today (28/07/2025) no-one else has booked any of the rooms/cabins...  :thumbs

Chris and I are planning for this one. Just a one day trip as I have a band concert on Sunday.
It will have to be on four wheels sadly.

Everyone is welcome, although we do make BMW riders park away from the STs...isn't that right, Nigel??? :whistle  :rofl

If your bike isn't ready in time you're more than welcome to come in a car...

As for friends, we just ask you to advise us if any one else is coming as we need to notify the venue of approximate numbers...
Cheers  :beer

Fingers crossed you can make it... :X

It's been known that BMW riders to park elsewhere.

That I can remember, we've had a Moto Guzzi, an MV Augusta, quite a few BMW's (cars and bikes), Kwaka's, Suzuki's, a number of Kia's, a Mazda, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, an FC Holden (twice).  At one QLD RTE we had the Jeep Grand Cherokee towing a caravan.  Others will be able to add to that list.

Yes, everyone, every mode of transport, we might even welcome a Harley.
Cheers,  Williamson (AKA Michael)
