By Mike on Monday, October 07, 2002 - 10:53 pm:

I live in Brisbane and would love to get together with other FJR1300 owners, go on rides, swap stories and lies etc.
Any takers? Mike. 

By Dale on Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 04:20 am:

Mike Come down to Tassie for a ride and you have a deal.Dale 

By Fjr01 on Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 11:15 am:

That's the problem us aussies have.... we FJR owners are few in number and scattered all over this bloody big country! 

By Cralli on Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 02:08 pm:

But what a bike to shorten the distance with!!


Cheers
Craig 

By Nocchi on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 05:29 am:

Yes but with wheels falling off, jack-hammer handlebars, dodgy valve guides,..........oh I am going to have a Bex and a cup of tea. Maybe I should lay down now  

By David1300 on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 07:18 am:

Inadequate front brakes, fall over in corners if you go too fast

Make that another Bex and another cup of tea please nurse (or please send in the sister with a jug or two of milk )

I'm also going to lie down , but only after a long blast on the best bike I've ever owned FJR 'Black Stealth'  

By Jwm on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 07:49 am:

Any Sydney Siders,Victorians, FJR01...Is anyone going on the Snowy mountains Ride next month? 

By Ianminus on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:21 am:

JW, my son and I am going down on the friday and staying in Jindabyne HORIZONS Friday and Saturday. If you wish, then lets meet up. 

By Nocchi on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:28 am:

Actually David, I will send in a couple of those humungus jugs  

By Nocchi on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 08:30 am:

Gilbo's jugs that is........he is really a drag queen with a hormone problem  

By David1300 on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 11:14 am:

With those hormones he would be a drag  

By Nocchi on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 12:11 pm:

That reminds me Gilbo, I must get some more life jackets for the boat  

By Fjr01 on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 12:36 pm:

JWM.....

is that the H onda Ride you are referring to? There are generally several different rides to the Snowies that weekend in November. I'm going down with a group from Macarthur Ulysses. We will be staying in Cooma on the Sat night. Some of our guys are doing the H onda Ride. 

By Bagman on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 02:51 pm:

Nocchi,

glad to see they have sorted out a bike for you when yours goes into the bike psychiatrist to get its head sorted out



can you pass it on to Reeso when you are done with it

Stu.. the bagman.. 

By Nocchi on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 09:24 pm:

Wow Baggy, apparently sex is provided as well  

By Mike on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 09:40 pm:

Shame Isn't it! No matter what site you try to use to chat about your thing of interest there are always a group of Dick Heads Talking rubish. 

By Nocchi on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 09:47 pm:

Perhaps then Mike, you should stay away from all these Dickheads. Set up a Queensland site and stay on it . 

By Nocchi on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 09:54 pm:

There are serious questions asked on this site and serious answers posted. There is also a great deal of humour salted in there. Seems that most folk on here enjoy it that way. Seems like somebody is out of step. Better sue us . 

By Mike on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 11:24 pm:

It's like fishing really. 

By Nocchi on Friday, October 11, 2002 - 11:37 pm:

Sure is and you are obviously a blowie ! 

By Mike on Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 12:35 am:

What I meant was: What you catch depends on the bait you use. 

By Nocchi on Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 07:08 am:

I know what catches blowies 

By Database on Saturday, October 12, 2002 - 01:05 pm:

Hi all
As much as the info so far makes me laugh.
Let me introduce myself
I am male 33 yo and have owned Hondas for the last 12 or so years,
last was CBR1000, have been riding for 17 years.
My first YAMI - FJR.
I guess time to slow do and introduce feet to tar
and welcome GRUNT.
Anyway I reside im Botany Bay area (East coast) of Sydney and would love to meet fellow riders close by.
BTW username from IT background and Trekkie stuff. 

By David1300 on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 12:36 am:

Welcome 'base. Enjoy the fun, learn from the serious stuff, watch out for Nocchi, disconnect the TPS and your one of us.  

By Database on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 07:10 am:

Thought I'd start an accessories and aftermarket add on chat for FJR
Here is a pic of oversize screen from Eagle Screens in WA contact eagle@indigo.net.au.
Price $135.00 plus $20.00 shipping to Sydney. 

By Nocchi on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 07:37 am:

David....you are a bad one Welcome Database
Eagle screens are about 3 mins from me so if anybody needs any info etc, please let me know 

By Mike on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 08:12 am:

Welcome Data. The new screen, why did you buy one and did it make the changes you were obviously looking for. I'm in Brisbane by the way. 

By Mike on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 08:20 am:

David the Rally today was really great. We met at Capalaba and then rode to the Muster point at LoganHolme Hyperdome Carpark, then on to a picnic ground at Mt Cootha. There were about 330 bikes all together! Great fun.
There were 6 FJR's, 3 silver, 2red and 1 black. 

By David1300 on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 08:26 am:

Thanks for the info, Mike. Yesterday was our ride day this weekend - today was sloth and veg-out, watch Bathurst, F1 and try and fit the Moto GP in somewhere too.

No, there were also some genuine reasons why today didn't work out for us.

We FJR's should plan a local (Brisbane) FJR ride 1st or 2nd weekend of November , and Nocchi, if you leave this week you'll be here in time to join us. BYO popcorn  

By Database on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 09:44 am:

Thanks for the welcome David1300, Nocchi and Mike.
Mike, I haven't bought one yet, but intend to soon.
Reason - don't know if anyone is same, but with screen up full I cop wind at eye level and I am only 5'8".
My research on net tells me that 3-4 inches extra height and curved top lip will give much better weather protection without increased backpressure.
Although I tend to ride with screen down in summer, as I like the breeze..
Thoughts?! 

By David1300 on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 10:09 am:

D'base. I'm slightly taller (5ft10) and have no trouble generally with the screen fully up. I find that wind direction affects the screen performance a fair bit.

Nevertheless, I have toyed with idea of getting a Cee Baileys screen in the blue tint, just because I think it looks awesome. I would probably go 50mm taller and 50mm wider. See http://www.fjrowners.ws/forum/messages/2173/2944.html?

I have corresponded with them in the US, and they are happy to mail to Australia, but if anyone else is interested in one of their screens we could possibly save a little on postage if we did it together. Have a look at the above and lets talk if it looks interesting to you. If so, I'll start a new thread to attract whatever other interest there may be from other Aussies. 

By Ianminus on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 10:45 am:

Regarding an eagle screen I bought some time ago.. see my previous post http://www.fjrowners.ws/forum/board-auth.cgi?file=/1245/1514.html#POST2923 

By Ianminus on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 10:48 am:

The result of my experiment with the eagle screen was to get out the angle grinder and cut it back to the standard size. This left me with a standard size/shape screen tinted grey. 

By Database on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 11:13 am:

David. I looked at the blue tint Cee Baileys screen as well, in fact this is why I started searching Aus. for similar.
I gave up the idea, $AU etc. but you have a good suggestion, so count me in as the CB is praised by lots in US. I like the 4x2 inch (100 tall x 50 wide).
Get the thread happening, and may I suggest we expand to include other stuff as well.
E.G. Aussie supplier for Throttlemiester http://www.throttlemeister.com/tm.html
Foot guards, luggage etc.....
I know that when I ask my local Yamaha dealer or other dealers about such extras, .. I just get blank looks. 

By Jwm on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 11:17 am:

IanMinus and FJR01...
Ok guys, I'm going down Friday. Not sure as yet whether it will be Friday Morning or Afternoon. Thinking of going on Friday Morning and doing a couple of the checkpoints on Friday, just to make it an easier day on the Saturday. You guys be careful down there, just remember that it can be lunacy on those roads on the Saturday.
FJR01... There's not as many rides on down there this year, and yes H*nda is one of the Sponsors and is putting up a prize of $20,000 worth bike as first prize in the raffle draw.
But honesty be careful, from last years experience it can be very dangerous and they expect even more bikes this year. 

By Database on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 11:25 am:

Ianminus. After reading your previous postings and responses (from your link), I am apt to continue my research before committing to Eagle screen.
thanks! 

By Jwm on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 12:15 pm:

Datbase...
I had a 4 inch taller ermax on my bike and have now taken it off. While I found that it offered a great deal more protection, I also found that fuel consumption suffered severely and that with the higher screen I sufferd a higher degree of wind pressure on my back, which caused back ache when riding long distances. Just my thoughts mind you, but maybe worth thinking about. 

By Mike on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 09:38 pm:

Data, we ran into a guy at a rally yeterday who had bought a new screen. It was taller, wider and tinted, he was very disappointed as he said it didn't give him the extra protection he was looking for.
I'm 5'9" and I must admit I find the screen great.
I usually ride with it down most of the time and put it up if I get over 120km/h and I've noticed I get a lot more buffeting if my wife is on the back compared to riding on my own.Try to find a bike with a different one on and get a ride before you buy if you can. Best of luck! 

By Nocchi on Sunday, October 13, 2002 - 10:38 pm:

@David.......bring my own popcorn? Oh thats fair !!!! Anyway yr cane toad would probably eat my blowie  

By Fjr01 on Monday, October 14, 2002 - 10:59 am:

Jwm....

Re Snowy trip, we did the "Tumut Charity Rally" last year and booked accommodation in advance for this year, but of course, like many other events, the Tumut rally has been cancelled due to insurance problems. A group of us are still going but it will just be a regular Ulysses weekend ride.

I take your point about being careful.....we experienced some "cowboys" at times last year. Overtaking at speed in our lane, etc.

I'll certainly be watching those mirrors! 

By David1300 on Monday, October 14, 2002 - 12:43 pm:

@Nocchi - you're right. Must have been something I ate. We Queenslanders should be known for our hospitality - no need to bring popcorn - we will supply Butter and a sprinkling of salt  

By Jwm on Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 07:00 am:

Ianminus and FJR01...
I'll keep an eye out for you guys over the weekend. take care. 

By Nocchi on Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 07:18 am:

The sign said 7ks of kangaroos......... 

By David1300 on Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:32 am:

Were you dreaming you were on Sharps bike heading for the open yonder?

On a serious note - we are in the grip of the worst drought in recorded history here on the Gold Coast, and it's not much better inland. Road kills in some areas are shocking - no fun riding at dawn or dusk as they come to get the little bit of green grass and moisture at the roadside.

Swap you some of our sunshine for your green fields  

By Nocchi on Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 06:20 am:

No thanks mate...we have sunshine AND green grass  

By Jooshead on Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 03:54 pm:

OK, nominations for one of you to take resposibility for collating Aussie supplier information.

I'll then insert it, (steady Nocchi) in the right place in the accessories database so it'll be easier to find for all in the future. 

By Mike on Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 10:12 pm:

We don't know who is capable of doing what, so it may be best for the person that feels he/she is in the best position to help us all, to nominate himself or herself. We need someone who is capable not just keen. 

By Bagman on Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 11:09 pm:

Joos,

You have read all the posts from the Southern Cross boys and you still ask for a sensible one,

I nominate Kieth Grinstead, as it will keep him out of trouble and may give hime another purpose in life, a by product would be Bullet and Jenny getting an easier life

So thats one vote for the Troubadour

Stu.. 

By Nocchi on Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 11:19 pm:

@Bagman.......bastard
Now that Mark is on vacation in sunny California I gotta find somebody else to rub the wrong way  

By Bagman on Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 11:56 pm:

We know how to sort out these online polls so please register your vote for Nocchi below

Stu.. the bagman.. 

By Fjr01 on Thursday, October 17, 2002 - 10:16 am:

VOTE 1 Nocchi....

he seems to have plenty of time on his hands....

 

By David1300 on Thursday, October 17, 2002 - 12:16 pm:

Go Nocchi, Go Nocchi

My shopping list is:

New Givi rack - Metro Yamaha has it in, and I'm picking it up on Saturday (then I'll design a backrest/frame for a Ventura soft bag to fit the rack. That way either topbax or soft bag can fit)

Blue tint Cee Baileys screen - +2+2 - just because it looks so cool

Mount for GPS - probably design my own to go between the handlebars - then I can really play with this toy

Power outlet for above

Tank and pannier protectors - seen somewher on this site - 3M product that adheres 'by vacuum'

Sheepy Hollow sheepskin cover for seat - although the lovely Zea says "Why - it's comforable as it is" (but this is locally sourced, so we won't need Nocchi Wholesalers to get involved here )

That's it Nocchi. It seems that you're the man  

By Nocchi on Thursday, October 17, 2002 - 10:45 pm:

Alas poor Nocchi is not computer savy enough

Time on my hands?.....No its just that I work nights and like to come home and wind-down  

By David1300 on Thursday, October 17, 2002 - 11:53 pm:

'puta savvy not a problem, missa Nacchi. You'se bin doin' guud so far.

Only need big credit card limit to pay for our stuff 'till we pay you.

Nice ring to it: The Bank of Nocchi unLtd, providing credit to all and sundry (as long as you own an FJR).

Serious note - I am happy to cordinate if anyone would like to order a Cee Baileys screen, and possibly also the 3M tank/pannier protector kits. I am away for 10 days, so won't do anything until I'm back. 

By David1300 on Thursday, October 17, 2002 - 11:57 pm:

@Joos re you post Oct 16. Some of our active contibutors are away at the MotoGO at Philip Island (Melbourne). Your idea will probably be picked up in a week or 10 days. 

By Petecom on Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 11:27 am:

David 1300

I had the 3M Ricochet product applied by a local auto signage/stripes shop in sunny Cairns.
Any decent auto sign shop should be able to point you in the right direction, but beware, do not try it yourself, as it is easy to get creases in it when applying it using heat.The product is quite thin and totally transparent, will not go crispy or yellow in uv light, and is invisible to the uneducated.
Let the auto shop do it for you, it's cheap, and you always have a comeback if it is creased on application.
If you see tiny air bubbles in it after application, don't worry, just park the bike in the sun for a few hours and they should shrink away.
PS It works.!!! 

By Petecom on Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 11:38 am:

PS
I forgot to mention that if you have had a respray done to a part of the bike to which you then wish to apply 3m Ricochet, wait for at least one month. This is because if the person applying it fucks it up, they will try to peel it off and pull the laquer with it unless it is properly cured.

Go the Wallabies 

By David1300 on Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 01:25 pm:

Thanks Pete - will take your advice. I think we'll have to start a new thread for Wallabies v Engalnd this weekend, and maybe we can start a book on the Poms getting done 5 zip in the Ashes. But don't tell Gilbo, he's suffering enough pain already

But maybe he can't see this thread from the UK 

By Petecom on Friday, November 15, 2002 - 09:55 am:

Gilbo,
Sorry man, but be comforted by the fact that the wallabies and the poms will be a close call tomorrow. The win by Ireland last weekend was well deserved, and only goes to uphold the fact that it is a sport not yet rigged by Don King et al. I hope the same can always be said for the sport of bike riding in general, and fairness and good humour can be appreciated by all who visit this site and own such an awe inspiring bike.
Good luck to all, whatever your persuasion.

However;
Go the Wallabies!!!!!!!!! 

By Petecom on Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 11:34 am:

Oh well,
We'll flog you Poms in the world cup next year instead

PS
Is it just Cairns, or do people in silly cars take FJR's as a threat to their manhood and try to keep ahead of you at any cost?
If you appear in their rear vision mirror it would seem that you have just pulled down their bananas in pyjamas boxer shorts and revealed a tiny little weener!
(Try the coast road from Cairns to Port Douglas one day) 

By David1300 on Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 12:13 pm:

Pete - may be a FNQld problem from eating too many mango's Down here in SEQld the biggest issue is drivers just not seeing you, sometimes because that's just the way they are, and sometimes it's because we have a lot of tourists who are driving with only half their brain on the job at hand. Also, many main routes are designated tourist drives (which, by definition, attracts the distracted drivers), so we try and avoid them and develop our own network of good, less populated roads.

Once you get off the main highways here, once a motorist sees you, there is often (not always) a tendency to 'wave you past' when the road allows. We reinforce that being courteous in return, and blasting past them still accelerating at warp speed

Helps them to keep a better lookout in the future

Having driven the road north from Cairns about 3 times in my life, from recollection you don't have an alternative - it's just the one road, isn't it  

By David1300 on Sunday, November 17, 2002 - 12:33 pm:

Ride this weekend? Let's go back to the original purpose of this thread

Any SEQld/Brisbane/Gold Coast riders interested in a ride this Saturday (preferred) or Sunday? 

By Mike on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 09:53 am:

David, I think we need to do 2 things. 1st plan a ride quite a long way off to give people time to make sure they can attend. 2nd try to come up with a way of contacting as many FJR riders as possible. More the Merrier!!
In fact it may be a good idea to get a load of people before we set a date. 

By David1300 on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 01:01 pm:

Mike - I plan a ride every weekend . Our plans are pretty flexible, though, that is why we are generally available at shortish notice, but Saturdays are better. We have Sunday morning commitments, but Sunday lunch/afternoon is fine.

In the weeks ahead 7/8 Dec is out, and from 20 Dec to mid Jan is out, but other weekends we will be riding. Where to, and with who, time will tell. May go up to Maroochydore area this Saturday, over the mountain via Montville.  

By Atlas on Monday, July 21, 2003 - 11:51 am:

Hi All,

New FJR owner, keen to catch up with other owners for rides in SE QLD. Went to Laverda on Sunday, did not see one FJR...

Anyway, lets get together and enjoy this wonderful time of year for riding.

Cheers,

Atlas 

By Taipan on Monday, July 21, 2003 - 12:45 pm:

Welcome Atlas---yu meet the nicest people on an FJR---cheers Rossjen 

By Atlas on Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 11:58 am:

Hi Taipan,

Thanks fo rthe kind words. By the dates of the previos posts it would seem this forum does not get used...

Hopefully we can ressarect it.

Cheers,

Atlas  

By David1300 on Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 02:00 pm:

Atlas - does get used a bit, but could do with some more interest. Lets see if we can get some interest for arranging a ride for SE Qld riders in September - that gives enough time for guys to do some planning. Rod, Toowoomba, Mike - a ride out west, perhaps? 

By Atlas on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 06:19 am:

Hi David,

Now that sounds like a great plan. Would need to avoid 13/14 Sep as is daughters 16th b'day. I see from previous posts you tend to give sunday mornings a miss, so a Saturday would perhaps be best ??

Would like to try and avoid the more 'common' trips, especially the Mt Glorious run with the boy racers, that is much better left during the week. Out past toowoomba , south to boonah , what ever would be great.

Lets make it happen

May I suggest we start with the 6th of Sept until we can agree on a date

Cheers,

Atlas 

By David1300 on Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 07:45 am:

Atlas - excuse my late response. I'm just waiting on confirmation of some dates that will have business commitments around that time. Whatever my commitments end up as, lets work around the 6th for now. 

By Atlas on Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 10:23 pm:

Hi David,

No problem. Just let me know when you can, I am pretty flexible weekends. Pitty about the wind yesterday & today, are beutiful days.. Well once the EKKA is over weather will return to its normal self for this time of year.

Cheers,

Atlas 

By Mike on Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 08:26 pm:

We ride on Sundays, so that'll put us out for this trip. Mike. 

By Atlas on Monday, July 28, 2003 - 09:31 am:

Hi mike,

I am up for any day on the w/e, David tends to like Sunday mornings off I believe

With some notice I can do weekdays to, what better way to spend some quality flex time !!

Cheers,

Atlas 

By David1300 on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 12:34 pm:

Ride dates:

Here are some dates for planning:

Saturday 6 or Sunday 7 September - suggest that this is a 'partners' (including pillions) ride, and that we involve Rod and Toowoomba (Tryg) and get them to show us some of the Western roads.

Saturday 23rd or Saturday 30th August - one of these days Zea has an all day training session, and when I know the date I am planning a bit of a quicker solo ride - maybe including Lions Head, out to Tenterfield and return, or maybe including Kyogle and Murwillumbah. I'll post more details as soon as I have the date confirmed.

Atlas/Mike - generally Zea and I prefer riding on Saturdays, as we have regular Sunday morning commitments, but we do ride once or twice a month on a Sunday, so Sundays are not completely out of the question.

BTW - for those SE Qld owners who are newer to the site, have a look here for some previous rides and also here and some more here

I also have a 'State of Origin' ride in mind sometime, where we Queenslanders and the Sydneysiders meet halfway for an overnighter. Autumn would be a great time to do it, so we get to see some Autumn leaves, but that is over 6 months away so we may have to do it sooner than that. 

By Atlas on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 - 12:59 pm:

Hi David,

All of those dates sound great, the pillion day would be also good, though my wife's back may not be up to it, its a case of deciding on the day, but I have 3 daughters all keen pillions, so I won't be lonely

So as soon as you know what days you can set in concrete, let us know and lets go riding !!1 The SOO would be a great idea, but like you say, lets not wait till autum, spring would also be pleasant, I am sure the New South Welshman would love to come up towards the warmer climate

Cheers,

Atlas
Brisbane 

By Jimdavo on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 06:22 am:

Good idea David.
I'm going on a bit of a ride with some Sydney guys on sunday ,so will try and drum up some interest. What do you think about sat. nite somewere like Dorrigo-Bellingen???
Jim. 

By Bernie on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 07:20 am:

When REAL Australian bikers have a State of Origin ride, they meet at the WA/SA border on the Nullarbor plain. Now that would sort the men from the boys. 

By Jimdavo on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:02 am:

Geez Bernie. Thats a big call with so little notice.A number of my Vic and SA BMW buddies are already on their way on the Border Run and a couple of them are coming back on the Connie Sue,I did it a couple of years ago and came back on the Warburton Road.Alas not this year,I'm going to Beatles' Farina Rally and then up to Birdsville-Cordillo Downs-Betoota-Innamincka and then down the Bore Track to Bollards Lagoon and the Corner-Fort Grey and then the Family Hotel at Tibooburra. Wish I could go on the Real Mens ride.
Cheers.
Jim. 

By Bernie on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 08:56 am:

Wow, I hope you're doing that on a dirt bike and not the FJR. ENJOY. 

By David1300 on Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:39 am:

Saturday 30 August is Boys Day Out All we need to do is plan where to meet, and where we go. I'll start a new thread to keep this planning separate from other ideas.

Also, Dorrigo or Bellingen look like good SoO options. Again, I'll start another thread and we'll start some serious planning for an overnighter on Saturday 6 September 

By Atlas on Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 10:06 am:

Hi David,

Excellent !! Catch you in there  

By Jimdavo on Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 10:37 am:

Yeh sorry Bernie, I have a weapon 610 Husqvarna
setup in Dakar trim.[Although the FJR is a plenty good gravel road bike also].Did the Off Centre at Urandangie last year via a bit of the Plenty H/way and Tobermorey station and then went to the Gulf via Headlingly Downs, Camooweal,and the Purple Pub.Have a look at www.ozmoto.com.au lots of rally info and touring tales.
Cheers.
Jim. 

By Jimdavo on Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 10:44 am:

@ David and Charlie Atlas.
I'm assuming we are setting the 6 Sept. in stone for the SoO.?
Jim 

By David1300 on Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 10:56 am:

Jimdavo - yes, 6 Sept set in stone for SoO. New thread started here

Destination not yet final, but date is. Will review Ulysses mags advertising for bike friendly accomodation in the area you suggested

Hi David.
Was thinking that the Urunga Hotel maybe better,depending if your going to come down the coast or not if your coming inland well definetly Dorrigo or Bello. Or another suggestion although maybe a bit far down for you -Gingers Creek- on the Oxley. Anyway just stay away from anywhere
where they serve Geritol for you Ulyseeans.
