Wow, can you believe this! ONLY 18 more days until the little ride starts  ;D

How many of you guys want in on our little piece of history that haven't signed on yet? I haven't added anyone if a week or so and I know there are many of you closet riders out there that really want to do a little touring. Send me a PM and we can discuss it. More riders would be good!

I've been trying to get the other members in my area to commit. I'm stoked!

It's a bit far for me to come, but I've ordered a Tshirt for some moral support to you all.
I'm not sure if it's going to arrive in time for the start though.  ;)
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators.

That's OK, Frosty: you're sure to have the shirt when the relay hits Oz!!!

I've looked at the 'Schedule' and didn't notice anything about Aus, but will participate if at all able to. Cool  :)

Mick, AKA retro rocket was recently drafted into the position of Oz relay coordinator. The poor guy; I only have to help coordinate a thousand miles across the US; he has to deal with a whole continent! There is no way this thing can be done without cooperation from all. Hope you can contribute!

I am not that organised guys and due to the size of Australia and the fact that there is huge distances in between the cities, it would be better to talk to all concerned before organising something together. There is a reasonably large SOHC club in Victoria, i met some of the guys at the Honda anniversary held at Gatton a couple of years back, i am sure they would like to be part of anything that eventuates....Besides, i don't have a bike on the road currently and that is the focus of my attention at the moment..... Not trying to squirm out of anything, but i could easily sort something out in my region...

You're welcome to jump on the back Mick, if you're game, but like you, I'm not sure if we have the people to make it all the way around. We might have to settle for the East coast to Adelaide maybe?
Australia Post ride Hondas, but they're only CT100s, we'd have to join 4 together  :D

Adelaid would be good but I would love to go through to Perth, i have relo's there and have never been there before. I have a second bike in parts i could throw together faster than my "good" bike.  I would rather ride than go  2 up, it wouldn't be the same. Nothing personal of course.... ;)

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

Its funny, riding "#$%*" as you guys put it doesn't have the stigma here that it does in the States. I have done 2000 mile trips with a passenger and everyone i know that rides carry pillions all the time, male or female, i have no gay friends so i have nothing to worry about..... ;D Going any distance though i would rather be the rider than the passenger....
