Just had a chat with Peter, everything is under control, he has already contacted Diesel & Sicman (both will be going through Wangaratta tomorrow), and they have a few tricks up their sleeves.

And with Cerebral heading that way tomorrow, things could turn pear-shaped.

Now that you mention it, i am picking a beer order up from Carwyn Cellars on the way through

That's horrible news PC. Hopefully, they're able to get you another alternator or get your existing one fixed in short order

Hi Peter, any update for us today?

Or Diesel, Sicman or Cerebral (if you've had contact with PC)???

[Williamson]

What's planned:

• Looks like the weather I ordered will be delivered - see pics.
• Shirts, patches and pins have arrived, will be delivered to Mansfield by OzSTOC couriers.
• The Catering Sub-Committee has been baking & cooking some treats for our Meet & Greet - be prepared for a feast.
• Oh yeah!  Pack your swimmers, the pool is adjacent to the camp kitchen - anything can (and usually does) happen after a beer or three.

Who needs swimmers!!!  
Probably be advisory to bring sunnies though as my gorgeous body doesn't see a lot of sun!!!!

Landed in Yack for the night.
Tomorrow's forecast will determine which way I ride.

You're lucky, 2nd prize was two nights.

Tomorrow's forecast will determine which way I ride.

If the weather's dry, a small diversion along the lines of this map would take in some sweet curves and twisties.

No much at Poly McQuinn, unless it's been raining and then the overflowing weir is worth the visit.   The General Store at Strathbogie may be open; last time I was there with a bike group, they ran out of food.

Heard from Peter this PM, he has everything sorted, he and the OzSTOC shop will be at Mansfield, courtesy of Diesel, they will arrive Mansfield on Friday.  Peter will be staying in VIC for longer that expected but RACQ are taking care of expenses, including a flight from Wodonga to Toowoomba.

Mmmm .... I think I got the correct, Peter will let me know otherwise.

Hi everyone
I am still alive and yep I will make rally with Diesel’s help I fly home Saturday the 23rd and the bike and camper will be couried home soon after thanks to a lovely lady at RACQ

Worthy of a plug .....https://www.gasmoto.com.au/

Authorised Honda Dealer, although looking at their website, I doubt if they knew (until today) what an ST1300 is.

Second generation Honda dealer of 40 years Mat certainly knew his way around the St his farther has stepped back to give him room his mother runs the office and she told me they sold quite a few St’s in the day and was surprised to see mine broken
They are also KTM dealers and the dealership looked very professional and a very tidy organised workshop
