Given how things may change hour to hour, if I don't see you on the road (ie pass you!) see you in Nambucca Heads at the right time

assuming I can get there of course

bluehonda · « **Reply #28 on:** January 31, 2013, 12:06:21 PM »

To those of you partaking, good luck.
Could you tell me what time you intend arriving at and what time you intend departing from Nambucca Heads?
Thanks
Brad

Cheers Brad, before Midday on the Saturday.....before B'fast on the Sunday.

You and Westy coming up ??

bluehonda · « **Reply #30 on:** January 31, 2013, 12:46:22 PM »

That's the plan, might be one day though.

Tradition has us stopping in to a most fantastic cafe on the water at Urunga for brekky.

If the weather is fair - this spot is hard to beat, and the food is awesome!

You're all invited - see me for details if you want in.

Cheers, Diesel

So who has gone and found the ultimate hawian shirt....

Just got mine from lowes, said to the young bloke, what's the worst shirt you have? And ta da! I have the above

Wild Rose · « **Reply #34 on:** January 31, 2013, 09:14:04 PM »

Streak ! that shirt is fairly LOUD, they may throw you behind the bar thinking you are the barman

Have a good and safe ride

LOUD doesn't describe it!

That's appalling even by FarRide standards!

Funny Teela told me that it was ridiculous and if I was going to wear it that she would be no where near me.....it was the the first thing packed...and might possibly be on a few more rides to...

And mr Biggles if it is appealing by far riders standards, then my work is done

Well - Streak and I are holed up in the truckies lounge at a truck stop in Glen Innes. It is absolutely pelting down in a lightning storm outside. We made it with so little time to spare, that we even moved the STs to shelter before paying. Could be worse. Lol. Sposed to be 65 clicks up the road at Inverell, but safety first. Will keep you updated.
Cheers, Diesel

It's lucky that I know where the far ride post is....

But we are stuck in this servo trying to make a plan, we are considering sleeping on the couch at the moment...

bluehonda · « **Reply #41 on:** February 01, 2013, 08:31:37 PM »

Today at Stewarts River, about 1/2 hr south of Port Macquarie, we've had 30+ml of rain.
Sunny this morning but overcast/rain/thunder all arvo.
Keep your eye on the BOM site

Streak · « **Reply #42 on:** February 01, 2013, 09:37:26 PM »

We are safe and sound in inverell at the Fossickers rest caravan park, heading for bed.

Cracker of a night ride from glen Inness to inverell, rode inline with all HIDs and lights running, was like Christmas, would have thought it was daytime....averaged 100km/hour all the way over here

Wild Rose · « **Reply #43 on:** February 01, 2013, 09:45:06 PM »

Raining in Toowoomba. Just what we need

home safe everyone, 1,593km, got my cap, and sticker waiting for my number, ride report to follow, am taking shoes off and falling on the couch

Diesel · « **Reply #46 on:** February 03, 2013, 05:05:10 PM »

Home safe n fresh. Another great weekend and thanks to the usual suspects for organising.

Congrats to all the new FarRiders - including Streak who can officially "shut the hell up" about missing out last year because of Diesel now - as the wrong has been righted and he has a well-earned shiny new FarRider number.

Great to catch up again with my fav old FarFriends, and meet the new legends too.

1667kms round trip. Pics and vid to come.

Now for a cleansing ale.

Cheers, Diesel

Wild Rose · « **Reply #47 on:** February 03, 2013, 05:11:18 PM »

I'm glad you got home safe. Looking forward to reading the report and seeing some phpto's

ST2UP · « **Reply #49 on:** February 03, 2013, 07:36:28 PM »

Congrats to Streak for earning his FarRider status.......now Diesel can sleep at nights, his work is done !!

Cheers
