magic,,what???umm??were not in nimbin now,ive got special little guard staffies as it is to keep my beer out of godzillas gob!

[Retro Rocket]

Sorry to tell you mate but GZ is laughing at them...... can you say "snack"....

[dave500]

i said "snack"but they mustve heard "attack"its not uncommon for one to come to australia and bite off more than can be  chewed,its all about respect,theyll be freinds again in the morning.

[dave500]

its alright everyone hes ok,that was a close one.

[CB750F2]

OK, I am still available for the relay if someone can hand Godzilla on to me and I have someone to hand on to after my ride. Currently there appears to be  a fairly large gap between Rockhampton and Ayr and as yet I have no one to transfer to. We need more riders. Pat from Ayr.

[dave500]

gday pat,,im afraid this might be where good old aussie post comes in?we know australia is a big place,and just looking at a map dosent do the size justice,,im sure this has been posted reguarding this fact before but i cant find it,,so here it is again.

we also only live around the edges,,the middle has nothing in it!in the early 90s i drove a 78 ford LTD from the gold coast (south of brisbane)to townsville in 16 hours non stop!

[CB750F2]

G'Day Dave. I bet the 78 LTD was comfortable. I realise that Aust Post will need to be used in the remote regions but I thought that there were enough riders to cover the east coast of Qld. Let's see what happens. The weather might decide things. The wet season is in full swing up here. Pat

Dave, those pics are gold

a 24 hour drive, you could do that in an afternoon

[CB750F2]

Ben are you going to ride a leg? I am in Ayr and if/when the Lizard arrives I can take him to say Innisfail to handover to you. You may have other/better ideas. Pat

[cben750f0]

i just dunno who i am gonna pass him off to, i could make innesfail easy enough, but i dunno where im gonna go from here...lol

ideas anyone?


peace

[CB750F2]

Ben, let's wait and see. Someone else may come on board. So, there is a gap between Rocky and Ayr and a huge gap between Cairns and Darwin! Pat

[trueblue]

If I had some more free time on my hands I would do the run up to Ayr, from here it is only 12 hrs, but work, kids and life in general just dont allow such things.

[dave500]

yeah we all have the real world,if worst come to worst a few dollars collected will post him,if a couple of us put in some gold coins or a $5 note each itll send him a long way via aus post where needed?

[Frostyboy]

Dave,
I've just been reading the newsletter from the 750 Club & they've planned a ride on Sunday 25th of this month. It's leaving BP servo on exit 38 on the M1 @ 08:30 to go to Springbrook. Thatt's your neck of the woods.
I don't know if I can make it just yet. It's the only day off I have in 2 weeks. I'll try real hard to make it though. I can ring Des & find out where you might be able to link up with the ride if you like. Would be a good photo opportunity.
What do you think about this?
I have the first 4 days of April off, which means I can make it to the meeting for the 750 Club on the Sunday & take off for Marybourough on the Monday to hand over to Andrew (TrueBlue)
But that means we'll miss taking GZ to the swap meet & museum on Sunday 15th. Maybe we should keep him here for that?
It just means I'll have to do the run to Marybourough on the 21-22 of April.

Let me know what you think is best.

Andrew, will you be available for the handover somewhere over the weekend of 21-22 April? Maybe we can get some pics around Hervey Bay? Any whales still around?

Retro Mick, can you make it to Belmont on April Fools Day?

[dave500]

i can hook up this sunday frosty,ill meet with the group somewhere along the way for sure,what route from the bp will be taken?pine creek rd is a great ride from the western side up into springbrook,the little timber bridges on springbrook rd have been re done aswell as the road surface,its excellent now,maybe up to the look outs both at the end of springbrook rd and repeater station rd?heres hoping for a dry weekend.

[Retro Rocket]

Sounds good Owen, although, I'm a little bit sus when invited somewhere on April fools day mate.....

Geeze Dave, its a shame you sold the other bike mate....

[dave500]

yeah sorry mick,no spare bike,i have a running motor if you can come up with a rolling frame in a hurry though.

The weekend of the 21/22 would suit me better than the other dates, because I don't have my kids that weekend... The only whales you'll see around Hervey Bay this time of year are on the beach in a swimsuit, they won't be around for a couple of months yet, but a ride around the bay for some photos is a possibility.

What about a shopping trolley Dave, i am sure we could get it going some how....
