GoldCoasters ride through Northern NSW 17th Feb
« on: February 07, 2013, 03:21:25 AM »




17th Feb. We are meeting at 7.30am for a 8am start at 7/11 Nerang (Price St)

Head out through Canungra and Beaudesert and run south down to Rathdowney. Then through Running Creek, across the border and down to Kyogal. Then through to Uki where we can have lunch/beer at the Mt Warning Hotel or some cafe. Then head towards Murwillumbah and back over the border up through Numinbah Valley and back to the coast. Plenty of opportunities to stop for a rest, drink, food, photos etc....

Everyone welcome.

275km round trip.

Yeah ok. That sounds like a good plan.

Hey I picked up the original pipes, seat, tank trim, front blinkers, rear grab bar/blinkers, tail light and centre stand today. Will take some photos. Will probably sell most of it. Will keep the centre stand.

Yeah thanks for that. perhaps we should go into the baffle mod business. I might need to practise drilling in a straight line though. Yes installed the clutch bypass this afternoon. Works all good. Cheers

Thats no good Waz. The terrible C strikes again. Too many people.....

Ride cancelled until further notice. This weather is just too unpredictable.

I am not organising any more rides. Rain likes to spoil my efforts.  :(
