Agnes Waters / 1770...... 2014.

[Tony Nitrous]

You know the deal boys and girls.

Normally a weekend in November, normally The Mango Tree Motel
with a walk up to the pub for the evening.

Everyone gets interested, most find a reason a bail out,
a bit like April Fools really ;)
(Warning: it might be hot or even rain!)

The weekend of the 15th / 16th is out for me (I'm in Melbourne) but any of
the 4 other weekends work for me.

Feel free to suggest group rides or I'll see you there.

It's a regular thing for me so lack of interest is no drama,
Happy to post it up elsewhere for others I ride with.

Bob?
Joules?
Jarrod?
Jimmy?

EDIT: Saturday Nov 29th it is.

[Tony Nitrous]

Brisbane CBD to Agnes Waters is about 475k up the highway.
Not real fun but we did it last year due to the poor weather.
Easy to extend that and add in some interesting curves.

Early days I know, but the pub does a mean parmy..... Even if their courtesy bus service is a little lacking.

[Tony Nitrous]

Bob, after our chat today I checked my diary.
I'm in Melbourne on the 15th and 16th.
Don't book it to suit me though if its better for others.
All good.

[Tony Nitrous]

Anyone else have preferences or commitments before we pencil in a date ?

Just keep Schoolies in mind.
Not much of a problem but they do tend to book the cheap accommodation.

[K6Thou]

Yeah still keen Bob dates don't bother me too much, I'll work around what ever suits everyone else.

[Jockney Rebel]

[Bob]

Hope things look better for you soon Jim, I happy to do the last week in Novemeber if everyone else is. Is this the same as schoolies week? We could have another graduate trip off there brain out side the mango tree again.

The highways a bit wider than last year lol.... I don't think you have that good an arm ;)

[bumblebee]

Will you guys be heading up Via Childers ? Childers is a quick spin up the highway for us and we could tag along when you go through.

[ozzy1100]

The highways a bit wider than last year lol.... I don't think you have that good an arm ;)

Only 2 weeks to go fellas

[wackyrider]

Should look at booking accommodation soon. lol

[Bob]

Were book and ready. But I start a new job Monday the 24th so hopefully these guys wont ask me to work my first weekend on the job

[jakam04]

Tony,

Any ideas on timings etc for our trip up?

[Bob]

Its about 6hrs straight up hwy, so add a couple if you wanna head around some twisties.
We left early last year but had to do a return back threw the city cause someone forgot the key to his tank..... lol
Depend if you wanna head over glorious or mt mee or round sommerset then Malaney .

[jakam04]

I can always meet you at top of glorious instead of in town. Easier for me.

[ozzy1100]

what day u lot leaving

[jakam04]

I was under the impression it was early saturday. Bob? Tony?

[Bob]

That's what I was thinking Jarrod, early Saturday. Loz and I can go either threw the city over glorious or Mt Mee or round somerset so doesn't phase us. Which way are others thinking? Are we still meeting more at childers?

[K6Thou]

You booked yet Jules ? I rang the mango tree this morning and they are full on the 29th......

[Bob]

SO do you not have a room Dan? Are you gonna have to stay up the road?

[jakam04]

Dan, I have a family room booked as that's all that was available. It has a queen, single and a set of bunks. The single and bunks are available for anyone who needs a bed.

I doubt Sarah and jules would want to share a family room lol.

[K6Thou]

Thanks Jarrod. Much appreciated.

[jakam04]

Maybe if someone else has a single room that they'd forgo it for jules and Sarah we could be all in same place.

Just a thought

[Bob]

I think we got a single room for us. I mite have to check

[wackyrider]

Fuck. Slipped my mind. Haven't booked anything.

[jakam04]

As stated earlier jules, I've got a family room that has a queen, single and a set of bunks. I doubt you and Sarah would want to share with others, but it's only one night lol. Up to you.

You andsarah could have queen, I'll have single and Dan can have bunk bed lol.. Purely worst case scenario

[K6Thou]

I've slept in worse places than a bunk bed mate.....

[Tony Nitrous]

No fighter at 1770 for me this year,

Just this Cheap Ugly Nasty Tourer of a thing.

See you Ladies somewhere sometime Saturday.

http://s28.postimg.org/oiqkv9bul/image.jpg (http://postimage.org/)

[Bob]

There will a few tours this year tony. Where and when do others want to meet?

[jakam04]

Well..... shits gone down and im now not able to attend this trip. Going through a seperation and now having to sell my GSX 14 to fund getting a car as im walking away with my two eldest girls leaving my little ones with my wife.

Fun times ahead. I guess ill need to try harder to get my GSX11EF back on the road so I at least have something to ride

[K6Thou]

Shit news mate......dunno if I'll be there either, as of this morning my bike decided it wouldn't start. Seems to be a flat battery funny because it's less than two weeks old..... If my alternator is fucked I'll be out.

[wackyrider]

Shit just reading this just after i managed to book a room at Mango Tree as there was a cancellation. Did you cancel Jarrod?

And why the fuck is everyone getting seperated from on here?

[jakam04]

Not cancelled yet mate. I was going to drop you a line this evening. Dan still needs a room. As a single person room I think its $110-120 but as a multiple person room they wanted the $150

[Bob]

Were still in Jules, did you wanna meet near your place and head over Mt mee or meet out near Ozzy's again?

[Tony Nitrous]

3 more sleeps.

Time off booked.
Bike ready.
Motel booked.
Steak at the Pub with my name on it.

I was going to do a REAL early start,
but I'll wait and see what the temp and weathers like.

[Bob]

Like wise Tony. I think I can get away around 6:30 if the grandparents can pick up the boy.

[K6Thou]

I'm out. Electrical gremlin has decided to take up residence in my bike.....

[wackyrider]

Bob, I'll give you a call to plan.

[Tony Nitrous]

Nice tony

[Bob]

Wish I was there. Sucks I couldn't make it

[Hagarr]

Don't get me wrong ,had too many OP Rums but I see a common thread amongst all these "OLD" rides, time to move on!

same here in the West, time to change, time to look for new events, time to find a common thread amongst us all!

Stop living in the past!

[Tony Nitrous]

Lots of runs going on in Qld. One day and over night'ers.
Both have good turn outs.

Maybe it's not time to change the event, just the company I keep.

[wackyrider]

Sorry Tony, had problems with the VFR on Friday. Mrs went to take the bike out and it wouldn't start for her and I wasn't home so Friday night started stripping it down to see what the problem was.

had spark on all 4 cylinders, was cranking over strong but just didn't want to fire up. I ended up bump starting the bike and it started first go. Took it round the block but was blowing a bit of brown smoke. Hit the kill switch and re-started a few times and it started, but even after a few laps of the block was still blowing smoke. Ripped the airfilter out and it doesn't look to healthy. I think both bikes need a bit of TLC after the trip down south. Just been flat out with work since i got back.

[Gix11]

I think a fair few of us are scarred from the 40-degree-lost-in-Ipswich-6-hour highway trip last time we went. If we could find a ride that wasn't 70% straight roads up north we'd be on to a winner.

Was it just Tony that went in the end?? If so, what trooper!

[Mr Hyosung]

We like your company Tony, last time it was a 10.5 hour ride home which is just too far with a hangover
