Here we go - here is a great one we did and worthy of another run......
Everyone is welcome to join us for this ride and, as always I tell folks that if I don't hear back from you, I don't expect you on the day, and we don't wait/worry if you're turning up or not. So make sure to confirm if you're IN (mainly so I can reserve a table for the appropriate number of ST pilots/pillions wherever we eat/drink).
If you're def IN, send me (privately) your Mob no. so I can notify you if any late changes that may affect the ride. (0466 494 334). Due to safety, and the nature of the twisty roads we ride, we do not go out in the rain, and I like to notify everyone if there's a late announcement, or if you're late but definitely IN, I can find out what plans to make on the day.
ROUTE / ITINERARY:
OK.... picture this folks.....
The meeting place is at the BP Servo at North McLean (B on map) SATURDAY Feb 11 at 8.30am. We then head off down the Waterford/Tamborine Road and climbing the lovely Tamborine Mtn for a cappuccino break at the Spice Of Life Deli. (C on map)
After this refreshment stop, there is a most enjoyable ride around Mt Tamborine, down to Canungra (D on map) where the fun really starts.
You will find yourself sharing the road with like-minded ST pilots & pillions on 80klms of some of the world's best motorcycling roads through Beechmont, Advancetown and Natural Bridge. (Might even stop to watch a few hang gliders launch off the mountain top!)
With your senses still on a high, and the adrenalin level in the red zone, we cross the border, head through Crystal Creek and enter the scenic Murwillimbah Valley. We'll do a (short) scenic lap of Murwillimbah before pulling in to the Imperial Hotel for a great steak and beer... err.. lunch.
We then exit Murwillimbah and head to the finish point over the range at Brunswick Heads (F on map). This is a great end to a great day.
From there, it's either - stay the night at a motel you've pre-booked on the Tweed/Gold Coast and head home in a leisurely manner the next day, or - scoot up the express way back to metropolis.
Enjoy......
I will be leaving BP Burpengary Service Centre SOUTHBOUND at 7.30am - so if you'd like to join me on the blast down to the meeting point, pick your entry point and time and look for a Candy ST13 that sometimes runs on diesel, and join in. I can take calls on 0466 494 334 whilst mobile as well if you'd like to check my possie. For you Gold Coasties - be sure to join us for all or part of the ride.

Hope to see you there,

PS - I'm glad this is in the QLD section so those Westies don't get too stressed about losing their hotly guarded WORLD RECORD for OzSTOC shirts photographed at RTEs!
