Here's a crazy idea !

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Driving into work this morning after an ace days riding on Sunday I had a crazy idea. How about all the Vic girls and boys, (Or as many as possible), drag their sorry butts out of the shed and actually go for a group ride like back in the good old days?

I know things have been said between a few of us and their are a few bridges to mend but what the fuck people !! Get the fuck over it and come for a blatt !!

No date in mind so open to suggestions. Please don't come back with any stupid remarks or personal bullshit, if you don't want in, then keep it to yourself.

If this fails then I might have myself a personal road trip.

[latheboy]

Bridges???

I'm not in the know so have no idea what you speak of.

I am still chasing a noise on my bike after the drags, motor might be coming out.
If that's the case i'll stand on the side of the road and wave as you go past :)

[stiffsimon]

Yeah I'm up for this. It is a strange one though and I will need to seek appropriate education on the meaning of "going for a group ride" and "going for a blatt".
A quick Google search comes up with some strange ideas such as " a group of like minded enthusiasts riding their motorcycles and sharing experiences engendering feelings of kinship and camaraderie. Apparently the more often enthusiasts partake in this particular phenomenon the the greater the feelings of kinship and camaraderie.

Another is " A collection of enthusiasts keen to explore the performance parameters of their chosen vehicle in an uncontrolled, undisciplined, unruly and outrageous manner".

Boxing Day would be good for me cause the other half wants me to drive up to Shepperton for the extended family thing. Something I would truly be keen to avoid.

I'mm keen as beans for a ride... in January after i get some points back :D

Fuck me Simon, too much time on ya hands or what mate?
Pick one you like the sound of and go with it !
Personally, I will be trying to keep up with Timbo, having a few laughs, taking the piss and having the piss taken.
All beer, burnouts and giggles mate. (Take your pick from those three too). :D

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Bridges???

I'm not in the know so have no idea what you speak of.


I borrowed Turbo's lipstick and forgot to give it back so he pissed on my mocasins. I was stood on a bridge at the time and his rancid piss rotted it.

Simples :p

[Redmohawk]

Hmmmm

[timbo]

Yep it is a crazy idea but it might just work. Just name a time and place and im there:cool:

[TurboKat]

My December is booked solid but name the date in January & I'm in Geezer.
I should mention though, any time I've tried to rally the troops in the past I've been met with lots of definite maybes, possible certainties, feeble excuses, general apathy & CBFness - maybe your industrial strength charm & charisma will attract more takers...

Oh yeah, if we have to choose one of Simon's options, put me down for No. 2.

[Iceman]

I have heard riding motorcycles can be dangerous.....

That must make the turbo gs one of the safest bikes around...

[Deano]

Riding your custom bike is very 2007

I am chasing a boost leak before I do anything.

[Deano]

Found it

[scotty]

that looks painfull deano

[Deano]

Yeah temp fixed it a few times now.

Time for something a little more permanent

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

I'm thinking weekend 4-5th January 2014. That should give Deano time to plug his leak, Ivan gets time to rebuild the Smashinator and everyone else can flush the sand out of collective snatches.

Yummy stress point fix yucky

And the 5th is my burpday!

If the motor is fucked, it'll be pushed into the corner and left..... I can't afford to fix it.

Works for me, where are we going ?

[stiffsimon]

4-5th works for me as well. Will there still be double demerit points on the 4-5th does anybody know?

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Sounds like 5 for def just waiting on the other usual suspects like Trev, Shano, mossy etc to chip in then that's the cool kids accounted for.
Might do a beer with Timbo and get our google on to plan a route for the day and post up a map.

[Deano]

Have to work on 4th

[xa-mont]

the further we deviate from the city the better for policeys IMO, like probably staying away from the spurs mainly.

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Aim for the 5th and I agree with Trav, spurs are not an option.
Prerequisites are: some twisties, some fast sweeping bits, good pit stop for grub and maybe a bevvie.

[shano]

im in, noojee you say.

[TurboKat]

Tiffany?
I reckon you could come up with a decent root around Gippsland couldn't you? & it wouldn't be the first time either... ay, ay?

Oh dear, I seem to have misspelled the word route... :o

[timbo]

Ok twisties yep I know some of them. Fast sweepers yep, can do them too, good place for a bite to eat, rehydrate, talk shite, yep I know one or two of them as well. I can't help with a root though. As for the rest or the so called Prerequisites I'm all over it like a fat kid on a lolly.

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Love your work Tiff ��

[geesexar]

i know theres not much time to organise it but what about a NEW YEARS BORDER RUN...you guys have a good ride to t5he border...swing past Dimboola pick up Banditrod and any other country members...SAASF guys leave Adelaide meet in Mt Gambier...weekend of bikes beer and bullshit

[TurboKat]

'Banditrod is a Country Member...'

Yeah, how could we forget?

[BANDITROD]

It would be to soon in the new year for me but I'm sure we can organize a get together Wayne

[geesexar]

love to catch up with a few of you mexicans for a run...gonna talk to a few SA members tomorrow..see wot happens

[Gsxar]

Sounds good, count me & possibly a few others in, will finish up a nice week of riding.
:cool:

[blackvisor]

I'm in. Agree that Spurs should be avoided, but plenty other twisties exist elsewhere.

Just say when and where to meet.

[TurboKat]

Just a thought...

The CCJMC are doing a decent looking ride out west on the same day (Jan 5) & I reckon we should all get in on that action (I see that KevKatana will be attending) & then do a Gippy ride the weekend after.

Or is 2 consecutive Summer Sunday rides pushing it for you poofters?

[stiffsimon]

Gosh two consecutive weekend rides, when will I get the chance to polish my bike? The CCJMC ride sounds good. Do we need to be members or anything and will they accept British iron ;) along for the ride.

[latheboy]

I'm in that gang too, good plan tk

[xa-mont]

might have to give the out west one a miss. bit too far to travel for my bum or i would have to ute it then ride from down there. the weekend after i'm keen on though.

[TurboKat]

I've exchanged words with Shano, Timbo, Deano, Bryno, Simo & Ivo & nobody seems to care where we go so I'll shoot Pete a message to make sure he doesn't mind a bunch of Hoodlums tagging along on his ride - shouldn't be a problem, several of us are CCJMC members.
See the CCJMC Faceplace page for details on the ride but I reckon we'll meet up somewhere beforehand & turn up as a Punch (that's the collective noun for STREETFIGHTERS) - watch this fred for details.

[stiffsimon]

Good stuff mate look forward to it and it might be a good opportunity to join up.

[blackvisor]

Is this run still happening? Meet where & when? Bryn, I could return those lights to if you can carry them.

[stiffsimon]

I was wondering the same. Where and when are we planning on meeting up?

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

If you guys are are on Facebook, check the pinned post on the CCJMC page. Meeting at BP Calder hwy @ 10am Sunday.

[TurboKat]

The ride leaves from the BP servo outbound nex to Calder Park Raceway at 10am sharp, I'm aiming to get there around 9.30 so I can check out all the Classic & Custom Japanese Motorcycles before we leave.

For anyone South or South/East of Mordy, meet at my joint at 8.30 & we'll leave around 8.45 we can pick up the Easterners (Ivan, Simon, Timbo, etc.) on the Calder Freeway outbound at the end of the Bolte Bridge (under the Cheese Stick) at around 9.15.
I'd recommend the Eastenders meet at either Stevo's Ringwood or Mick Hone's then jump on the Eastern Freeway, all the way in, go around past the Cemetery, across Sydney Rd, round past the Zoo & get onto the Calder & pull over.

Howzat sound?

[stiffsimon]

Who's Stevo at Ringwood? That would be a good meet up place for me though as I live in Ringwood.

Try Peter Stevens motorcycles for size instead Simon ��

[kevkatana]

See you ladies at the Red Beard Bakery in Trentham for a pie. That's the first stop on the itinerary.

Hope they do steak, cheese & bacon pies. Don't want you getting me barred from another bakery Kev !

:D An British fellow teaching Aussie slang to another British chap... there's a TV show in that. :D

[stiffsimon]

Well I'm already an Eastender lol

[latheboy]

I'm out, crashed my mountainbike at mt. Buller yesterday and can't lift my right arm above my shoulder... Dislocated my thumb too.. have fun ladies..

[TurboKat]

How is that an excuse?
Dadhood has made you soft.

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

When would you need to lift your hand above your head?
Oh yeah, when you need to leave the room to sit down for a piss ��

Mend quick gecko boy xx

[blackvisor]

So those joining from the Eastern freeway should join the Calder at the Flemington Rd junction at 9.15 and wait for you lot to arrive?

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

Isn't the chippie on the Tulla fwy ? Calder doesn't start until after Bulla Road at Niddrie.

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

BTW, tolls now apply to bikes on city link so either link your accounts or organise a day pass.

Burnly tunnel is also closed so allow for that too.

[blackvisor]

Is anybody coming in on the eastern freeway? I live in Fitzroy so can meet you on Alexander parade as you head to the Tullamarine fwy. Or Calder fwy, whatever its name is at that point.

[stiffsimon]

Fitzroy eh. Do you live anywhere near Gertrude Street?

[timbo]

Hey Blackie we are meeting Simon at A1 motorcycles at 8;30,so will be heading your way not long after. We should be in the area at around 9ish

[latheboy]

So, did I miss much?

Where's the pics to PROVE you guys actually went for a ride...

[TurboKat]

I didn't have much fun :( Fuel delivery issues on the Gixer.

Now, where did I put that Kawasaki?

[ozzy1100]

Mister kat I think your forgeting that suzis are only to be ridden when the kwaka is of the road but then again you even own a honda .........

[TurboKat]

Yeah, I thought I'd see if I was missing anything...

I'm not.

[Loads]

So how was the ride, I was actually at Noojee that weekend didn't hear anything. Sorry I missed it.
