April Fools Run 2013....

[Tony Nitrous]

Not sure if anyone's noticed, or interested, but in 2013 Easter fall's
on the last 3 days of March and the 1st of April. Traditionaly ASF
Fools Run dates.

Wives and kids at home, double demeit points, places charge extra,
roads are busy, cops out in force, hotels and motels booked ?


Not a drama if it happens, doesnt, or gets moved,
just thought i'd mention it now not later.

Thank you.

Back to what you were doing.

[EVLZX]

double demeit points, cops out in force.

Thank you.

Back to what you were doing.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Yella]

double demeit points,
roads are busy, cops out in force,




^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ Thats a good point

[Weaselman]

Those sorts of days are instant 'Dont bother' for me.
Not only are there double point but cops doing defects are out in force

[RevHead]

simple the weekend before or after.

[Weaselman]

That stuffs me asking for the weekend off before a long weekend

[Boxer]

Different location this time?

[Redmohawk]

We never had an issue in 2010 , that was easter weekend wasnt it ?

2706

[ozzy1100]

[hyofighter]

[Azrael]

WA ?? haha , maybe we might hold our own this year over here

[EVLZX]

Why not just have the whole thing in WA :p

[yuma bizl]

[Redmohawk]

Tazzie ride would be nice , been a while.

[Weaselman]

Im for that

[RevHead]

[K6Thou]

Tassie would be out for me........

[fimpBIKES]

i vote halfway house at oxley the weekend after easter

[hyofighter]

what about a central meet point for everyone , say................. alice springs

[RevHead]

alice springs would be ok ,but the roads are flat and straight as fuck ,on the other hand we could just park the bikes and have drinking races

[80s freak]

Alice would work for me, I'll bring the drag bike and have a blast. On a different note, when are the trailer queens from Vic going to have a big event that isn't the Xmas party. And yes I'm one of them.

[Fish]

Alice would be awesome!

[Fish]

And it's only 35 hours and 3000ks from my place! AND I get a choice of going the northern route through QLD and NT OR I can take the southern route through NSW, SA and NT and it's bugger all difference between the two! I'm in like Flynn!

[EVLZX]

Pete you're on a Busa, it knows hw to make straight roads interesting.

[Tony Nitrous]

Interesting.

It was never meant to be a AFR planning thread,
I just wondered if Easter would effect anything as I
normaly stay away from the roads on Public Hols.

Would be interesting to hear what Si thinks when he has a spare minute ?

Cant argue with Fimp's post though....:cool:

i believe Si is away for a while as his brother is over from the UK. Hence us not hearing anything from him lately

[EVLZX]

No worries :)

Well it looks like it's evolved into the AFR planning thread now, you might as well change the title:D

[StuNVA]

Double point weekends I park the bike.

The wife and I went across to Coffs last easter the traffic across the hills was pathetic, I'm all for a week either side.

The national ABA archery shoot is on at Alice Springs in easter 2013, I was going to try and make it for that, so as for location I'm easy but I'll 3rd Fimps suggestion, wouldn't the majority prefer a weekend event not something that takes 3 days to get there and three days to get back..

[RevHead]

2977ks from my place to the Alice,lol 33 hours ,

[yuma bizl]

2800 ish for me, and a trip across Bass strait

[EVLZX]

You two could do that standin on ya head :)

[RevHead]

You two could do that standin on ya head :)

Fuckin Oath

[nemo]

Shifting 4 small warehouses worth of shit, into one giant warehouse...

[hyofighter]

[Azrael]

I know a shortcut.. I worked every exploration camp from here to where the plenty river crosses into qld..

[hyofighter]

ill get the hilux ready

[EVLZX]

What about short cuts the other way?
Or should I just get the DR650 goin?

[StuNVA]

They have reduced the price of G650GS to $10k too, I make mention of this as it has the 780 - 750mm seat height option. They told me $2k + the Tunono and they'd give me a new DR650 with 12mths rego, no anal lube supplied.

[EVLZX]

You don't want a new DR get an old one kick start only like mine :)
I just got it over here the other day has been sitting for over 10 years.
Here's a good one http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/suzuki-dr650-daka-/261113695393?pt=AU_Motorcycles&hash=item3ccb96cca1#ht_500wt_1414 awesome bike for that kind of back road stuff.
I have heard of them not moving much on new DRs $wise, don't know why.
I think the newer DR have the height adjustment as well.

[Redmohawk]

Not 100% sure if its still about but I know of a electric start dr600 with full rebuild motor been sitting for 3 years in a shed , bloke wanted $1500.

[EVLZX]

600 or 650?

[RevHead]

i know a guy up here doing motorbike couriers between port mac n coffs ,he just retired his 98 dr 650 with 96,000ks on the clock
was just starting to use a little oil, was the same as this one ,reliable as ever,

[EVLZX]

My engine is mostly new internally :p

[Nudie]

Has this thread wandered off track or did I doze off and wake up on ADVrider?

[Redmohawk]

600 I think , its a mates (we are on hiatus) havent done words with him in 18 months. His wife must have the trained mouth of experiance , as she told him "its dangerous" and no more riding since. He had it all rebuilt and prob only did 2000 km on it tops.

[EVLZX]

Yeah this is the ADVdirtfighters it's a collaboration.

Fk that if I ever stop riding it will be my own choice.

Anyway so AFR....

[El_Hefty]

Has this thread wandered off track or did I doze off and wake up on ADVrider?

[Large]

Thats no chook chaser , thats the chook fucker :/

[EVLZX]

Gotta catch the chook first, and that aint gonna happen without a serious diet 265kg...
Rather have the Tiger

[StuNVA]

Not 100% sure if its still about but I know of a electric start dr600 with full rebuild motor been sitting for 3 years in a shed , bloke wanted $1500.

PM me with all the details you can get on this one, $1500 I'd be interested for sure.

And a vid just to get the thread back on track...

Best AFR ever.

[Tony Nitrous]

Either the 1st one at Casino or for me,
Dubbo was great fun too !

[RevHead]

i know everyone has commitments, how about getting serious and planing another big one for all to attend on the east coast and get the W.A boys to have one over there on the same weekend ,c,mon every-ones craving a big weekend ,lets get planning

[K6Thou]

Well we do have a drag strip up this way that can be hired...... Personally I think a race track environment would be a winner.

[Weaselman]

Wakefield park?

[Tony Nitrous]

how about getting serious and planing another big one for all to attend on the east coast

I'd image Si's wallet is still hurting from the last one at Casino.
Anyone want to put their house on the line to finance the next one ?

[nick76]

Wakefield park?
I was thinking that.....or Marulan......but noise could be an issue there????

[Yella]

I have heard wakefield is reasonably priced

[K6Thou]

I have heard wakefield is reasonably priced
Jimmy has done a little looking into Wakefield and I can't remember exact figures but it sounded reasonably priced when we were discussing it.

[RevHead]

umm its not that cheap
http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au/facility-here/hire-the-circuit

[nick76]

Track Pricing for 2013

Saturdays $7,300
Sundays $7,300 (and public holidays)
Fridays $4,200
Weekdays $3900
Any CAMS events will attract a $500 levy which will be charged in addition to the circuit hire.
Insurance cover is mandatory AASA Permit $800
Ambulance $640 per day
Track Marshal $280 (optional)
Control Tower $200 per day (optional)
There are other options on standby eg water truck, witches hats. Phone for details and costs.
NOTE : There are mandatory requirements if timing is used (please call for more information)


So it's about 10k for two weekdays,divvy it up between 100 punters and its only a hunge each????

[nick76]

umm its not that cheap
http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au/facility-here/hire-the-circuit

Its a bargain.
Its approx $250 a day for a trackday if you wanna rock up to eastern creek......and its many times more to hire a place like Eastern Creek.
And they are soooo regulated there....you cant even fart!!

[RevHead]

if we need 100 peeps ,get in on it ,

[Redmohawk]

If you want cheap fun the x-mas bash is at the drags , if more turn up this year it will be a blast.

[Weaselman]

I want to go around corners though

[hyofighter]

WA AFR i still like that idea of having one of our own , hmmm research time

[JackTar]

umm its not that cheap
http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au/facility-here/hire-the-circuit

Are you kidding? The last one at casino was 80 grand and that was a drag strip not a whole facing race course. In saying that, at casino we could camp and have show and shines and charge admittance to anyone who wanted to come in and flog their bike, we also had a massive beer tent where we could get tanked every night.

I am wondering if we would have the same options at Wakefield or if we would have to find somewhere outside the track to drink, eat and sleep. If so $100 each quickly turns into $400 each, which I'm fine with but I know a lot of other people wouldn't be.

[EVLZX]

It says they have accommodation for 60 ppl @ $60 pp.
Goulbyhole is cheap to stay in though
Or for nearby accommodation this place is virtually next door http://www.pelicansheepstation.com.au/htmfiles/accommodation.htm

[nick76]

To save afew bucks,it could be a day on the track,then have a band play/piss up that night and following day?
Maybe like a show and shine for the ASF guys....with plenty of trophies.....so Pete can win atleast one???:p

[ozzy1100]

1st thing 1st if people are thinking of a bigger type deal start planing now..... for next yr
and as mr tar has said it cost a lot more than one might think to host
it didnt go so well for si when the running of said event was left to us where it is easy to type
event planing and running is of the harder things to do when on surface it looks easy

[TurboKat]

Do it at Wakefield or Marulan & I guarantee at least 20 Mexicans will turn up.

[Gix11]

Ah yes, this old game again....

Any spare funds I had to do events like this went down the pan in '09, and I'm not risking anything like that again. The whole thing could have worked if it hadn't been for the torrential down pour that cut off roads from the south and turned away at least 3 big groups that I knew about.

The only advice I can give you is to avoid anywhere where the weather is known to be dubious at that time of year. I'm guessing that counts most of sub-tropical QLD out.

There's enough guys here from all over the country to know what April weather is like in their region, and I for one can tell you Gold Coast / Brisbane / Northern Rivers regions are OUT!

[JackTar]

Fucking faggots, I rode from a half an hour south of Canberra in that fucking rain. Pretty sure some other hardcore motherfuckers rode from vic like that giant semen eater BanditRod.
