going the long way guys,, going through tamworth adds 299 ks quicker down the coast,thats the way im going

[Bob]

Cool Pete, we miote just follow you. Not to sure. Mite have a look at some things on the way down and back. I will see what fish and wartty want to do. But on googles maps they say take the new england threw tamworth. only about 920kms.

[El_Hefty]

yeah new england is a shitload further as theres no direct route from tamworth to bathurst , ive done both runs out to gunnedah and down through dubbo and orange... or down to singleton the putty road and then out from lithgow... the highway is shorter but loads of traffic fucking boring and lots of roadworks..there are sahortcuts on whats gated roads through farming land but since we arent on adventure bikes its the long way around :(. if we are going for a 2 day run down then the new england and dubbo run would be nicer out in the sticks but happy to go with the flow

Queenslanders, fuck the Pacific and the New England Highways.

Head to Glen Innes and then turn right to Inverell. Take the Copeton Dam road to Bingara then south toward Manilla. Lake Keepit road to Gunnedah and then south through Coolah and Sofala to Bathurst.

I take this way every time I head south to GP etc. The roads are fabulous and the bacon factor is extremely low (watch out for the Gunnedah coppers though)

[JDinOZ]

Yeah im on the Gold Coast and wanna go down to AFR, anyone else on the Coast or near me keen on going?

I'm out in Ipswich so not too far from you mate and pretty keen for a ride to AFR, just working out the finer details with work. Will let you and everyone else know when I know :)

[Bob]

where are you pete?

[Jockney Rebel]

right my offer of digs for you northerners is still open but i have to attend the barry sheene FOS at eastern creek that weekend guys

[jakam04]

Hmmmm... Im leaving Tuesday (Prior to AFR) to go down to Amberley for a 4 week course... Could I make it before the weekend and then drive to Bathurst.. and be back by Sunday arvo to prepare for Monday morning.... Fuck its tempting...


Jarrod

[Bob]

Come on Jarrod, you know you want to....

[jakam04]

I know i want to lol... Ive only missed one AFR thus far. Just means Ive got 3000kms to brissy from here and then another 900 to go to Bathurst. then another 900kms to get home on Sunday...... Watch this space....

[Mr Hyosung]

I'm keen to go. I'm at Byron Bay, but will meet up where ever is convenient. When we rode to Dubbo we got to Coolah on the first night, so if your keen we might get past Tamwort, and make the second day a bit easier. There are plenty of roads we can go on to avoid highways, just depends on how much time you have. If you guys want to come to Casino via Kyogle we can avoid major highways all the way to Armidale. From there it's highway to Tamworth, then its mostly backroads to Bathurst. I plan to leave Thursday morn and get home Monday arvo. If anyone is real keen I wouldn't mind leaving Wednesday morning and having a bit more fun on the way.

[Mr Hyosung]

I don't know where Pete got the idea it's an extra 300k's going through Tamworth. From his place it might be.

[El_Hefty]

Ok im driving to sydney on the thursday at this stage as i need to drop off some stuff to extreme that no matter how hard i try wont fit on the back of my bike... So trailer to sydney the ride out with Large on Friday

[RevHead]

[Bob]

Cause the missus is coming we will meet you at baturst.Not shore were to crash cause we are not shore which way we are going. See you in bathurst. Cheers for the offer mate.:)
