Turtle
Been giving serious consideration to going.

Am in continuous negotiations with the LOTO

Have just bought her a new car, so hopefully the chance of going has increased

Keep pluggin' away Mitch - it would be great to have you and other Westies there.

Cheers, Diesel

Mitch · « **Reply #127 on:** March 15, 2012, 01:34:59 PM »

I'll keep trying Diesel, she tells me she'll miss me if i'm gone for a couple of weeks

But not to worry, I'm sure I'll wear her down.

Used to be that.

Now absence makes the heart go wander. That's what she's worried about!

Mitch · « **Reply #130 on:** March 16, 2012, 03:16:43 PM »

Negotions over, LOTO

has in her wisdom granted me temporary absence to attend.

I have just booked the last cabin so there may be a couple of spare beds available.

Now to start planning the ride and getting the bike ready.

A bit worried that LOTO

caved so easily ! I wonder what she has up her sleeve ?

Looking forward seeing you all there.

No dought at all, but that won't be till I get home hopefully.

Whilst on the subject of out first National Rally, I did a run up to Lithgow this morning to check out the road works on the Bells Line of Road (they've been resealing), and have to report the road is in excellent condition. More to the point, I think my chicken strip just got a bit narrower on the way back up Scenic Hill out of Lithgow. ::)

Marissa went to work yesterday and the office manager asked if anyone wanted to take some time off after Easter as 2 of the doctors were taking time off?
So it looks like she will be able to come along to the National Rally with me

So, do you want our double bed? It'll be a 2 for the price of 1 offer.

Thats great that Marissa can come, but does that mean I need to find a bed????
Laurie

Barry and Marissa · « **Reply #139 on:** March 22, 2012, 08:18:00 PM »

No Laurie, you will be fine. I wasn't planning on sharing a bed with ya anyway

I'll have a chat with John, there's a double bed somewhere in the cabin that I'm sure I can bride him for

Cheers

Barry

I thought you were taking Marissa?

Barry and Marissa · « **Reply #141 on:** March 22, 2012, 08:23:38 PM »

Hi Bill, just read your post above Lauries. Thanks, but I did tell John I'd share his cabin and help with the costs. I'll chat to John (saaz) first. I'm pretty sure he'll allow us to have the double bed in that cabin, even if Marissa has to sweet talk him to get it. :)

Cheers

Barry and Marissa :) :)

saaz · « **Reply #143 on:** March 22, 2012, 08:40:19 PM »

Cabin has double bed and bunks so all should be good. I would listen to a Honda owner sweet talking me, but a BMW one

Barry and Marissa · « **Reply #144 on:** March 23, 2012, 06:35:52 AM »

Bummer. Found out that Marissa's work wanted some people to take the week off leading up to Easter not the week of the rally. >:(
So its back to going solo again for me.

laurie · « **Reply #145 on:** March 23, 2012, 06:42:23 AM »

Barry, does that mean you and I are sharing a bed after all...

LOL .... what happens at the rally stays at the rally Laurie

harieg · « **Reply #147 on:** March 23, 2012, 04:46:09 PM »

can any one advise the condition of pacific highway, Lambton to Brisbane

harieg · « **Reply #148 on:** March 23, 2012, 04:49:05 PM »

how long should newcastle to brisbane take ?

laurie · « **Reply #149 on:** March 23, 2012, 04:59:53 PM »

There is a lot of road work going on around the Coffs Harbour/Saphire area, so you can expect delays and slow going. The Pacific Hway between Grafton and Ballina is usually slow due to trucks/Grey nomads and limited overtaking opportunities. Expect to take at least 8 hrs or more to Brisbane.
