    Hi Al
    Any idea how many going from Newie ?? – rather than tie up the forum with local stuff I will pm you and squiggle with some ideas to get to Lithgow. Which bike are you taking??

    I cant believe I bought a tent on the weekend :pinch: – $29 at Aussie Disposals. Just gotta get it to Woodstock, I don’t care if it doesn’t make it back. :blink:

    Catch up soon

    Linz

    Ill try and catch up with the GS boys tomorrow and see whats going on in BMW land. My PM’s are wierd, says I have one unread but nothing going on. If I dont reply just give me a call.

    :huh: My PM’s have been wierd too , I have got email notification of a PM but when I checked here to reply , there was no PM . Lucky the email told me the PM’s content or I’d be none the wiser . :angry:

    Linz ,I’ll be riding the Super Enduro . :)

    I am going to ride to Lithgow on Friday 29 th , thinking of Watagans to Laguna , then via Finchly trig /Yengo to the Putty , Lunch at Grey Gums Cafe via the tar and then through Mountain Lagoon to Bilpin and then down the Tar via Bell line , just because I am a bit over the Mogo creek run and not looking to take all day to do it . Could add in a bit of dirt from Clarence to Lithgow if time is allowing .

    There is lots of us coming from the Hunter area , are we all riding to Lithgow or will there be some trailer Queens :kiss: ?

    Looking for a bed in Lithgow Friday night , one ….. without anyone else in it ;) , anyone got a room booked with a bed spare and want to share the cost to ease the financial burden ?

    Not too fussy as long as it is within walking distance to the GPS loading , beering drinking establishment . :)

    Made it through no issues , Missus didn’t have Kittens ;) , The scenery made the slowness of the trip very much worth it .

    Murph , that Billabong has the Lilly flowers on it at the moment , worth the drive for that and the awesome solitude at Goolawah beach too ;) . Camp ground at Goolawah is a perfect spot too , spotted an 1190 Adv heading Sth on Plommer rd @ 9.00 am ish Sunday , he would have had a ball :) .

    If you have any issues using it TB give me a yell , I have been a long time Magellan user and have it pretty well sussed , the route planning is very different to Basecamp that’s for sure .

    That second vid is pretty good quality vision compared to the first , I watched both in HD but the first one was only 760 ??? maximum , the 1080 one leaves that for dead quality wise .

    Good stuff TB !

    Ripper ride report mate, sounds like an adventure was had by all.
    Bugger about the fuel, bet you don’t make that mistake again and thanks in advance cause i will be making sure i don’t make it :ohmy:

    PTW

    Thanks Pete and TB and Crash and Amy and Lefty and anyone else I’ve missed naming personally , I am of the old school , if something is worth doing , it’s worth doing properly , the first time . which is why I did the ride report the way I did it , I had a good story to tell and I told it so it was worth reading .

    I hope next Years TK memorial ride is as special, or even more special an event , so it also is worthy of a great ride report , in the TK tradition .

    Ball’s in your court now TB . Any assistance you would like with the Bridge to Bridge just ask mate , I’ll give whatever task is required my best shot . B)

    Cheers Alan
