AFR 2014 Official Thread

[MONO]

[Tony Nitrous]

Default setting : Macksville.

[sen]

Tasssiiiieee

Yeah, I vote this, just so I can come harass you all.

[Nudie]

Tumut!

Yup!

[Weaselman]

I suggest it because.
1. Ive got a contact with one of the hotels down here which is 3m from the pub.
2. I can run a ride different from the NFR from tumut.
3. I can sleep at my own house when I get sick of you bastards

[xa-mont]

i might even go if it's in Tumut.

[Bob]

Casino? Good loop ride round Lions rd, Woodenbong, Rathdowney

[TillerRider]

I'm all for Tumut but would be happy to make that NFR for this yr to make it abit different, Casino sounds interesting?

[wackyrider]

There's some good roads round the Casino area. And yeah, Lions road is awesome

[fimpBIKES]

where-ever it is i cannot wait to make the drive :)

[Bob]

Get the kat running Fimp

[K6Thou]

So do we have a date locked in yet ? If I'm attending I'll need to get leave etc.....

[fimpBIKES]

[Jed]

Casino? Good loop ride round Lions rd, Woodenbong, Rathdowney

+1 for Casino

[MONO]

As an idea for a location.

Suggest a town or place and a breif reason about it.

It must be able to enterain 30+ people and have some local roads around.

And then we can have a pole so majority shines through.

[ALBI]

Kings cross !

I have heard it can entertain a little more than 30+

Has local roads around it !

[Mr Hyosung]

I rather enjoyed Dubbo. Those street entertainers in the early hours of the morning were worth riding 2 days for.

[Supercharger_Mark]

Casino has my vote, plenty of awesome roads around, Mt Lindsay range being one of my favourites

[MONO]

Regarding the date, I am going to assume it is to be on the first weekend in April the 4 & 5th. Any valid objections please speak up now.

Regarding the destination...

CASINO.....A great run to Drake which can be a good lunch destination giving the biker friendly pub which actually has bikes in the pub. Plus always fun to go a few ks further and back before lunch as the twisties start just after at the pub.

GRAFTON....A good fun scenic run up the Gwydir, hit the twisties and turn around at the Raspberry Lookout and return to McLean or Yamba for lunch.

COFFS HARBOUR...A run up Waterfall Way, some of the best twisties ever, and then a quick loop around Tyringham and back to Dorrigo with maybe a detour and do the Skywalk and then onto Bellingen for lunch.

This is only 8 weeks away, so we better get cracking on this or we won't have anywhere to stay !

[jakam04]

Closest weekend to 1st April is 29/30 of March isn't it. That's usually the call isn't it?

Also 4/5th April is QLD school holidays start...

Dates before or after the 1st are ok and Casino or Coffs are good. Speak up people.

AFR - April Fools Run - Always the first weekend of April as far as I'm aware

[ozzy1100]

i didnt mind the run last yr

[jakam04]

AFR - April Fools Run - Always the first weekend of April as far as I'm aware

Sorry, I was under the impression it was closest weekend to 1st of April. All good.

Casino works for me. Won't trailer my bike this time like last Casino trip I went on

[Bob]

Im keen for either of them. . Coffs sounds like something different.

[K6Thou]

+1 Casino.

[Nudie]

I'll put my hand up for Coffs

[jakam04]

Might be time for a poll lol

[Gitzy]

I like the 29th and 30th better. :-)

[craig]

29th - 30th for me or I'll have to wait for next year.

[LKC73]

I'll be back this year, fighter has rego again and I'm keen as. I think tiller rider will come along too.

[TillerRider]

ok after looking at the map if AFR is at casino I don't think I'll be able to make it, I need to see how things pan out work wise!?!

[Supercharger_Mark]

29th-30th /Casino

[Gix11]

Was always the closest day to April 1st (April Fools Day) - Jarrod is right.

29th-30th March would be it, same dates as the UK AFR.

Sorry for my delayed reponse to this topic as I've totally missed it up and till now!

[wackyrider]

My bad. Oops, hahaha

So the Boss has spoken ! AFR will be held on Friday 28th to Sunday 30th March.

There is now a Poll in place to vote on the destination.

You can only vote once.

However if you have got another idea or a plan, make it public.

[El_Hefty]

i like coffs as it has variety and offers a lot for nocturnal activities but where the fuck do you ride around coffs? or is it head north or south on the highway for an hour to get to the good roads?

[Tony Nitrous]

Casino.

Lions Rd, Bruxner Hwy, several others.
Not sure what the towns like?
Only done the two Campsite/runway events there,
sometimes go though there on rides to Tenterfield in a morning.

[Tony Nitrous]

# BUMP! #

Only 8 folk voted ?

[jakam04]

I'm not able to vote as it seems my membership has lapsed.... Will sort that out shortly

[wackyrider]

Casino has some great roads around it for sure, but no idea how the town is.

Coffs can be a fun place to stay but not sure of good roads without needing to ride for a bit first. If that's the case I'll vote for Casino

[BANDITROD]

I'm still voting for Dimboola

[K6Thou]

I'm still voting for Dimboola

Scared of a little ride mate ? lol

[BANDITROD]

Scared of a little ride mate ? lolI'm still not supposed to be riding even though I did the NFR my doc says I should stay off it for another 1-3 years

[jakam04]

I'm still not supposed to be riding even though I did the NFR my doc says I should stay off it for another 1-3 years

They have an airport mate. I'll come collect you from the airport on my M109 so you still arrive on two wheels to the venue lol

Just no wandering hands ok....

[K6Thou]

I'm still not supposed to be riding even though I did the NFR my doc says I should stay off it for another 1-3 years

Bugger.... Fire up the territory and head north a few days before the 28th then..

[Mr Hyosung]

Mark and I went for a ride to Casino today. We found 2 pubs close to each other. One sleeps about 30, the other 20. Prices around $30 to $40. The Commercial has a lockable yard for the bikes, average sort of pub you find in a country town. Does have a balcony and a pool room, didn't see a red dress. Went to Kyogle as well for a look. Commercial Hotel at Kyogle has hotel rooms and motel(you get your own shitter and shower) rooms. It would probably have enough beds for all of us, but the pub only has a front bar, bistro and a back verandah. Not a lot of room. $35 to $45. There is another pub close by for the loud snorers. Either town is on the doorstep of great roads.

[MONO]

I put Coffs in the mix for two reasons..

1 I wouldn't mind a good day ride and I'm sure I can turn this into a 800k day hehe

2 thinking of the Sydney riders in particular Ben on the turbo bike

3 The roads...22.3 ks down the h/way you're at the foothills of waterfall way then up to Dorrigo , do the loop/triangle or take the back road up to Grafton down thru Nymboida maybe stop for a beer (busa club is staying there same w/end) to ebor and back, similar to 2012 run but different (i'm sure i can add ks) but back for an arvo seafood feed (prawns ..fastest sauce vehicle ever)

4 maybe Yella might want to ride with us this time

But anyway vote for a town and we'll make it happen..

[MONO]

Good on you Terry & Mark for doing the recon

[Redmohawk]

With all the shit I have going on atm , and several trips up to queensland this year already planed I'm out on this ride I'm afraid.

[davo]

Late mail.

1 : Macksville is half way between Syd and Briz.
2 : Excellent riding from both directions.
3 : We all get to meet up at Dorrrigo for the final twissties down waterfall way.Or we could stay at Dorrigo for once.
4 : Nambucca Hotel knows and respects us,and looks after bike security.
5 : "It began in Smackville"
6 : Casino has a de-commissioned runway, like how boring is that shit.
7 : Coffs only has 1 decent Pub with accom, think its called the wharf. Doesn't sleep many. All the other shit is boutique or backpacker.

[StuNVA]

I went through the Ebor > Nymboida road the other day, there's some remarkable bits of new hot mix and some very bad dirt sections that are close to if not by now tar, but generally not "too" bad other than the dirt bits.
Nymboida to Couts Crossing is as rough as ever though.

[K6Thou]

Are you planning on heading to AFR Davo ?

[Tony Nitrous]

Casino has a de-commissioned runway, like how boring is that shit.

Only if your lacking horsepower.
I remember quite a few folk having fun there.

Try heading out of town.
The Bruxner Hwy from Casino to Tenterfield is real entertaining
when you turn up the pace, as are several other local roads.

[davo]

Are you planning on heading to AFR Davo ?
Yeah Bra. Ya welcome to stop at mine on ya way down and back

[K6Thou]

Cool I owe ya a few beers for the shirt....

[Mr Hyosung]

Does anyone want to make a decision, we will have to get some accomm organised soon. Does anyone know how many went last year?

[El_Hefty]

I think the polls made/making the decision. And last year there was mid 20 odd folks

[K6Thou]

I think the polls made/making the decision. And last year there was mid 20 odd folks

Some were more odd than others Mike. Ha ha ha

[Tony Nitrous]

Yeah, you get that at AFR's.......

Last pic is gold, Is that Huddo re-wiring the carbies? ..and what was the result from Boxer's 8000xzoom close up shot..lice or dandruff?

[wackyrider]

Right so it seems the dates for AFR are 28th - 30th March and going by the poll we're heading to Casino.

From Terry & Mark's recon it seems the Commercial pub in town is the place to go as they should have enough beds and lockable area for the bikes.

Am I missing something or are we good to go and start booking leave and rooms?? Whats the protocol here as I haven't been to an AFR since 09 and that was camping for the weekend. Does everyone just book their own room and rock up? What time do you usually meet up? Do a few peeps from Brissy meet up for a ride down?

Only 4.5 weeks to go, so get off your asses people.

[ozzy1100]

shut up jules its not the last week yet....

[K6Thou]

You heading down this year Lynton ?

[Gix11]

That's Supercharger. ...and Lice of course.

[ozzy1100]

You heading down this year Lynton ?

Was going to try but it will be last minute as norm

[El_Hefty]

OF course you will Ozzy its like a fucking adventure,well it was last year, just this time a whole heap shorter... you know you want to

[ozzy1100]

Lol fucking coffs so wet thinking how could this be any worse
then looking left at yr sorry ass on a hard seat and tinted visor
oh that is how it could be worse lol
Will I get to tell Pete how ugly his bike is again ?

[K6Thou]

Looks like I'll be out of this one now.....

It is currently transpiring that I'll have my kids every weekend from now on....

[stiffsimon]

Sounds good Dan. Good on ya

[Supercharger_Mark]

That's Supercharger. ...and Lice of course.
Yeh got rid of the lice OK but came home from that ride with some sort of recurring crouch itch!!
Thanks Si.

[Weaselman]

If i go id have to come in the fast car... Cant ride for very long stretches atm :(

[MONO]

Righto poll finishes tonight 8 pm but looks like it's Casino this time.

[Mr Hyosung]

Commercial Hotel, corner of Walker and Barker Streets Casino. 02 66621007. When booking mention Terry and say if you don't mind sharing a room so we can all fit. Usual pub rooms with different numbers of beds. The other pub is the Tattersalls Hotel in Barker Street, 02 66621449. Both pubs have lock-up yards and are within spitting distance of each other. If you don't like pubs there are plenty of Motels in town.

[Bob]

How much is it per night?

[jakam04]

I'm booked in ;)

[jakam04]

How much is it per night?

Bob, single rooms are $40 a night at the Commercial Hotel

[Bob]

Cheers mate.

[Bob]

Booked at the Commercial. Im assuming that were we are crashing.
Mrs Bob is coming too

[wackyrider]

Booked into the Commercial as well.

[Tony Nitrous]

I can't find any 5-star accommodation anywhere near Casino !

[jakam04]

Lol....

[Mr Hyosung]

Gold Coast probably the closest.
