AFR 2017 Anything happening?

[Bob]

Booked. Dobwe need to canceo to ebor hotel

[Mr Hyosung]

just rang Peter at the Ebor pub to cancel, he wasn't happy

[Mr Hyosung]

I've booked the Plantation for me, Si, Mark and Joe. Nudie, are you there?. I hope Coffs is good for you.

[Bob]

Cheers mate

[Nudie]

I should be right, just haven't worked out how I'll get there. Was planning to throw the uglybus on the ute and drive up, but now Im thinking I might leave a few days early on the big dirt bike and make a trip of it (won't be the first time I turned up at a street fighter gig on a gentlemans bike).
I hope this rain fucks off by then!

[Gix11]

I hope this rain fucks off by then!

Me too, but we'll have a laugh whatever happens.

[Gix11]

Oh, and thanks heaps Terry. Bloody champion.

[MONO]

All Booked....thanks for organising this Terry. Looking forward to getting away and catching up with you all.

[wackyrider]

Booked

[StuNVA]

21st & 22nd ?

[Mr Hyosung]

7th and 8th is when I've booked for. I hope everyone else booked the same

[Bob]

Yep.

[StuNVA]

I basically won't know until Friday, I'll play it by ear, if it happens I'll worry about where I sleep when I get there.

[Nudie]

Well it seems I'm committed now to bring the uglybus. I'm picking up a mate from Newy on the way (bloody Duc rider). So we'll be there Fri arv. Better ring and book a couple of beds

[wackyrider]

OK, so shit's getting real with only a few days left. So what's the plan.

Who's meeting where and what time and what routes are planned to head down? Just not sure what roads could be affected by the floods?

[Mr Hyosung]

I won't be going till after work on Friday, so will see you there!

[Bob]

Was just about to ask that jules. What are peoples thoughts? Gonna do out to woodenbong to kyogel or lyons rd etc?

[Gix11]

Gotta talk to Supercharger.

Is Joe going down with you Terry or Friday day time?

[wackyrider]

I'm more interested to ensure we don't end up with an hour long detour when we realise that a road may be closed on the day

[Bob]

Haha. Yer didnt think of that.

[Bob]

Or a broken down cafe racer. Haha

[StuNVA]

Should see what the roads are like around the loop too, they can get pretty beat up after big rain.

[Bob]

Worse case will sit at the bar all day

[Gix11]

I like the way you think Bob!

Meanwhile; here's the latest:

Brisbane / Northern guys - we'll meet you at 11am in CASINO (NSW) McDonalds Car Park (as normal) on Friday morning (QLD/NSW times are the same now).

Gold Coast guys - if anyone is leaving from the Gold Coast and wants to ride with me and Mark, we'll be at the corner of Tallebudgera Creek Road and Tallebudgera Connection Road (near the lights) at 9am.

All good with everyone?

Should be in Coffs by around 4pm on Friday arvo.

[Bob]

Sounds good mate

[Bob]

Mono, Jules?

[MONO]

Si any chance of meeting at 12 at Casino...just ran the times & it's a dark start for us Northsiders

Jules meet you at BP Albany Creek

Bob meet you at Rathdowney

Times pending meet up at casino

Thinking this is the best way to avoid flooded areas ?

AC to Rath....2hrs

Rath to C.....1.5hrs

Google says 2.5hrs direct or 4hrs via Dorrigo

But I would rather keep the original meet up times if we do Dorrigo Waterfall Way

That's with no stops or Fuel.....Back to you Guys

[Bob]

What time at rathdowney then. I can meet anywhere

[Gix11]

I've got 6 hours showing on Google Maps for going through Lawrence, Armidale way, Dorrigo to Coffs, and a sunset time of 5.40pm. Me and Mark don't have lights so night time riding is out, but we should just make it I guess? We can always cut out a few roads if we are cutting it too tight. I'll just confirm with Mark now.

Anyone late in: we're staying at the Plantation Hotel in Coffs Harbour.

[MONO]

OK then Si we won't mess with meet times ...11am at Casino done
Will crunch some meet times a bit later...bit busy now

[Supercharger_Mark]

Si's computer fucked up, he asked me to let you all know tomorrow 12noon at Casino is it.
Cheers
Mark.

[Gix11]

Cheers Mark!
That also means we'll be at that corner at 10am and not 9am as originally planned for for the Gold Coast guy.

[MONO]

Jules pencil in 7 at BP Albany Creek

Bob meet you at Rathdowney at 9.30 in the side street at the shop

Please guys 7 pages on this thread ...this makes us look organized , should have been 12 pages by now

Still time lol

[Bob]

See you in the mornig guys.

[wackyrider]

Cracker weekend as always. Kept it 'interesting' with the wet roads in the mountains...
