Message to the Aussie riders, since we just let your girls win the Netball final (we know how you sulk when we beat you)

it would only be fitting for you guys to let us Kiwi have Godzilla and the SOHC4 pennant first!
Allowing GZ to tour Aussie was always going to be a gamble as historically theft is an Ocker trait eh, no insult intended.
I mean I know you guys couldn't arrange a beer in a pub so if we go first (as naturally we should) it will give Terry and his mob more time to get those rusted scooters you call bikes running OK!
I know you will see the sense in letting us go first.

Well I've got no problems with that Hushy, I mean, New Zealand is so small half it's population lives in Oz anyway, (mostly in our jails and whore houses.........) so it'll only take a couple of hours to do the whole leg of the Kiwi "Middle Earth" tour, earthquakes permitting, of course.

Of course, I don't speak for the rest of the Aussies here, so they may have differing opinions on whether New Zealand should even be considered worthy of being allowed to participate in this auspicious event at all, but you guys have had a rough time of it in recent months, so I think you deserve a bit of a break.

Just make sure that it doesn't disappear down a hole in the ground mate, we do want to see it eventually! Cheers, Terry.

Wow, I'm definitely feelin' the love here!

Yeah, you'd better let the Kiwis get it over with before they get swallowed up by another earth quake.

Oh and Terry, THANKS FOR VOLUNTEERING TO BE THE OZ COORDINATOR and you do NOW speak for the rest of the Aussies! You have a topic to get started on: Team Australia so quit harassing the Kiwi fruit and get working

You guys crack me up big time. I'd sure like to sit down at the bar with you guys!

I thought Retro Rocket had already "volunteered" to be Oz coordinator??? Also, it sounds like it will be a bit warm in OZ by the time Godzilla gets there if he goes to NZ first.

If you can't handle the heat, stay home and beat your meat.

Hush · « **Reply #6 on:** July 12, 2011, 11:56:36 am »

See what I mean, can't even pick an Organiser, might have to skip Aussie Jerry till they get themselves sorted.

What season is best to avoid the fly plagues?
I was a bit concerned that the air filters might get clogged with the little black buggers!
And earthquakes just make our roads more interesting, ask Scunny!

Nah, i'm no organiser mate, actually i have a lot of respect for guys like Jerry that put all their time and effort into something like this.....I may not even have a bike together for this yet....I may have to throw my second bike together first or sneak down and pinch one of Terry's.....

Just quietly, we all know what our Kiwi friends do to their sheep.......We would really like a virginal Godzilla if possible......

No worries then, Mick

Terry, get ready to herd cats!

Sorry if I missed the volunteering by RR.

Hey Hush, I hope Jerry hasnt just called you a "fruit". Its bad enough having to put up with all those Aussies. Just as an aside Hush, you know all the birds fly upside down in Aussie!! cause there is nothing worth cra***ping on.

Hey if Mick's already volunteered then I'll be more than happy to support him in any way I can, just let me know what you need Mick! Cheers, Terry.

Hush · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2011, 03:19:37 pm »

See Jerry, mission accomplished, it's not hard when you know your neighbours so well.

mick7504 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2011, 04:13:52 pm »

Let me know if there's anything that I can do to help from up the top here guys.

We've got a favorite jumping croc up this way called Brutus.
He's got one front leg missing from a shark attack but he's still going ok.
Would Godzilla be keen to meet Brutus?

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #17 on:** July 13, 2011, 08:00:32 pm »

How about a state coordinator for each state? That'd make things easier, I'd reckon? Cheers, Terry.

scottly · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2011, 08:26:57 pm »

Terry, it looks like you are drafted as the main OZ coordinator. Start lining up your regional lieutenants, either by state or geographical region. Learn from Jerry's example: he enlisted (sometimes drafted

) some of us to be responsible for a region, allowing him to be able to see the big picture, without having to follow every detail.

Yep yep! Divide and conquer! Many hands make small work! Never eat spinach with a stranger!

How many states you got? That's a pretty damn big island from what I can tell (not that I know WTF I'm talking about) If you have enough riders that would be a good idea. Each guy will be more familiar with his territory than all the others. He can round up riders in his area and they set their own ride just as long as the different regions connect with one another. Flexibility is a must. Always best to have a lot of input but only one final outcome from all. Sometimes we refer to drafting coordinators as begging, right Scottly?!

You guys may not be able to cover the whole island and that's OK. Just do what you can. This is just a big connect the dots game

You and the Kiwis have your spring and summer to do your thing so there's no hurry. When you guys are done then we send GZ to England perhaps for their springtime to start the European Relay. Piece of cake (mostly). You are Da Man! Just damn glad you're on my team

Too bad those sneaky Kiwis jumped on this first. I found out that GZ likes Makers 46

scottly · « **Reply #21 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:32:50 pm »

Godzilla doesn't beg, he DEMANDS!

mick7504 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:34:13 pm »

Terry's idea with a State coordinator is a good one.

I think that the East Coast/South Oz run should be reasonably straight forward and after that it really is out into no mans land with the vast open distance up here to the Northern Territory and then across to Western Australia (or vise versa)

One option would be to fly GZ in an air satchell across these distances.
If he weighs no more than 5kgs, (11 lbs) and isn't too big, I could organise to fly him anywhere in Aust for about 25>30 bucks so that won't be a problem.
There are some other ways of doing this and we can cross that bridge then if it comes to it.

scottly · « **Reply #23 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:45:22 pm »

He probably weighs less than 150 grams. (Dang, I've weighed everything in sight lately, but I never thought to weigh Big G

)

That's good Scott.
We can get BIG G jet setting around this great southern land if need be.

That's easy done.
