Naah, it's 3+ hours driving each way for me (as you already know, I'm sure).  ;)

I'm not keen enough, but I hope whoever does go enjoys themselves  :tu:

G'Day Huntsman,

Not sure about a time yet, I'll be racing back from the Snowies after a 6 day motorbike ride. My plan is to be there around midday if possible. I'll be the one in the dusty bike suit...

My allocated timeslot is from 11:30 to 14:30.

I'm holding thumbs for an invite to the Wednesday event too, if that comes through I may not attend the Tuesday event due to the time constraints. Our ride was planned a few weeks back before I knew that Uncle Tim was coming to visit.

What time are you planing to be there?

Greg, I'll have a pillion seat and a bed available if you want...

Pete

Thanks for the very kind offer Pete, but I'll pass  :D 

I haven't been on a bike since I sold my Yamaha XS1100 20-odd years ago, and I don't see that situation changing in the future either.

Ride safe  and have a good time on those great roads around the Snowies  :tu:

G'Day Greg,

That is one of my all time favourite bikes!!!

Will do, thanks. I'll post some pics when we get back.

Cheers
