Sounds like a typical blokey approach Rusty!
A man rides on his STeed, says “Why am I short of attention? Got a short little span of attention”.

You can call me Steve, with apologies to Paul Simon.

Great day and ride on the Spyder
Only a half hour ride for me and the first time I have taken my Spyder to a RTE
Good to catch up with all, we had 11 all up
Great lunch
Good to see David and Lane bring friends on a Triumph Trophy and Bruce a new member from Kingsthorpe managed to come along on his nicely painted ST1100
Thanks to Shiney and Gadget for organising the ride

Carrol and I left at 0800 and met up with Draco & Ros shortly after.
We headed up the highway towards Toowoomba following the GPS.
Before reaching the Toowoomba range the GPS sent us off along a side street.

We travelled through some nice countryside I hadn't been through before but then found ourselves on a dirt road :eek

   
    

For the first couple of ks it was okay but then it became corrugated which gave the suspension (and us) a fair workout >:()

   
   
   


We made our way back to the blacktop, reached the Hotel and a few minutes later everyone else began to show up :thumbsup

      
      
      
   


After everyone had arrived and we had a chat we got a group photo then headed in for lunch :eat

   
   

Everyone had a good time chatting over lunch before we all made our way off :hatwave


Thank you to everyone that was able to make it today :grin

Great report Shiney. Looks like it was a great day for all.

I see nifty nev has been busy redecorating his STeed - looks good  :thumbsup

 :blu13  Thanks for organising Shiney and Gadget. Great location, great people and a good feed.
Hope you get better soon Steve!
I wanted to make a day of it so took the Mt Mee, Woodford, Kilcoy, Blackbutt, Yarraman, Coyar, way to Crows Nest for lunch with the gang. Meet up with everyone and some new faces, even though I'm relatively new as well to this forum / club.
Idea was to make a the ride a big circle back to home base. So from Crows Nest took the B Road route on Perseverance Dam Road which a pretty decent stretch of windy road leading over the Dam and then on to Esk Hampton Road which is another great road leading down the ranges to the back of Esk. Not much traffic either. So a great ride to Esk.
From Esk taking Esk Kilcoy Road to go north of Wivenhoe Dam and then back around to the back of Mt Glorious where I stopped for a Coffee break at Red Cedar (nice quiet spot for a break ). I hear a familiar sound of another ST coming down the drive and meet up with a new Forum member 'Aussie Aperation' taking his newly acquired 2017 ST on its Maiden Mt Glorious run. He couldn't help but notice my unique colour combination wrap on my bike when he rode past and needed to investigate.
AA has acquired a new 2017 Police ST fresh out of the crate from surplus QLD Police duties 0klm's on the clock and all. Nice shiney white bike ready for adventure. Good to meet you AA, welcome to OZStoc. Hope to see you next RTE hopefully.
So on with my ride, back over Glorious and back home and no rain in sight. Excellent ride, great day out.
Thanks all!  :blu13left

Ah yes, the old 15 mile rd shortcut, saves 20mins but not nice in the wet!
