Desmokid (not sure if DK is confirmed??)
Dockstrada
Andy55 (the rider formerly known as Andy1000!)
Big T
Tricolore
Ducmonrob

Super.

Desmokid.

Dockstrada

Im in.

Andy

Big T is in......  [thumbsup]

Cool Nick,

     Thanks for the re-draw of the map.
Looks like a great day out, looking forward to the run.

Great to see your in Big T, we can share the ear bashings for the extra fuel stops that are needed when we are around [thumbsup]

rumour has it that Super will carry extra fuel for T, Dock not sure what you have to do to buy into that particular bromance...

 [cheeky]

Wasn't Big T going to turn his "camelback" drinking thingy into a fuel bladder.
Dock I'm sure you could engineer something to carry giving you and extra couple of litres for the S4RS riders.

.... hang on a minute Super is confirmed - have I missed something, is the baby back on the road? (yes I know its still a couple of weeks away)

I and the bike should be a go-er by then. I just have to be able to get my broken toe to slip into my Dainese's. :-\


I will be strapping a jerry can onto my back for Big T. Dock may have to give me a ride on his new steed to get on Super's cuddly side.

 [cheeky] [cheeky] [laugh] [laugh]

Ok then the question has to be asked: What did Big T have to do then  [evil]

You are so shallow SupeRR  :'( ......... You've sold youRR soul to Dock and his shiny new steed.......  [moto]

I don't want youRR fuel now....... you haRRlot .......  [cheeky]  [cheeky]  [cheeky]

 I have already ???
2mtrs of hose ready for an unsuspecting victim [evil]

I haven't sold it yet!

If I was to purrchase said bike, I wouldn't let anyone breathe on it, let alone put there peaches on it where mine were.


T didn't have to do anything.

He just happens to be guarantor on my mortgage.

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Big T aRRe you tRRying to say somthing  ???

I think he has a stuRRtter.....

guessed it might be that  [laugh]

So Dock you carry round 2m of hose with you...... What are you and Super planning????  [laugh]  [laugh]

And in a deal with the bank I get Super's house when he defaults...... OOohhh and all the toys that go with it.....  [moto]

Ooohhh OOooohhhhh and half of the Lotto won toys list as well......  [wine]  [wine]

Do I get the other half of the Lotto list?

Which half do you want?

Anyway, I'm winning Powerball tomorrow night.

And if I do win, my shout down the rub 'n tug.


 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I want the half that includes the bikes, the spray booth, workshop, tools etc.....

SOooooooo you winning Powerball, makes my ticket worthless then. 

Yep, haven't even got the ticket yet, I've had premonitions.

And there would be unlimited access to my special workshop. I would employ a full time Barista and a Tea Lady for the others and wet bar for the men.




 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Im not so twisted................. what ells can you do with 2 mtrs of hose ??? [cheeky]

It's a little fiddly to find going north, you might want to quiz any locals you've got along...

big (busy that day, _damn!_)

I'm in sound like a gRReat day out and I'm especially up for the Broughtons pass Challenge.


I can tast it now [drink] [beer] [drink] [beer]


I will meet you lot at either the start of the RNP or at Bald hill.

Rob

I'm really really looking forward to this one, should have a few laughs!


 [beer]

Laughs........
It's serious business getting in shape to chase Chopper through Broughtons Pass.....

Laughs........
Only if anyone beats him, yeah right.
Cause that means you gotta pass him also......
Unless of course we get a 50 metre head start.

No one can beat the chopper, not even with a 1km start.

This is his territory, his backyard, he has already pissed on every tree, so we are in his domain.

it would be a brave man to take on the chop chop. [cheeky]

I know but it's interesting to think about the challenge.

Somehow I don't think the 620 would keep up firing out of the slower corners.

thanks big, with ducmonrob and mmick we should be OK. come to think of it, I think I know it as well!

and I say blow off your other two conflicting engagements and get your priorities in order  :)

Ummmm, this is going to hurt.

I'm gonna have to withdraw my inclusion on said ride. My fricken toe isn't as good as it should be and my bike is still at Frasers awaiting my replacement Arrows.

Long story short, broke toe 3 weeks ago Sunday, still hobbling around. Bike is awaiting new pipes and they will be there ~ 30th May (hopefully). But i can pick it up as it's only cosmetic that they are getting changed.

I know I've gotta "HARDEN THE F*CK UP!", but I am in agony when I try and use my left foot. This has pissed me off no end and I'm desperate to get my bike back. I haven't ridden in over 2 months and I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.

F*CK THIS SH*T!

I'm F*CKING winning Powerball tonight, my luck has to change! ;D

Just cause I'm going on the 31st, I think you are avoiding me Super.......  [roll]  [laugh]  [laugh]

None of us have seen this supposed big broken toe?????

But being the gentle giant I am...... A Big T hug for the mild one  :'(

Super, I feel for you. I had an operation on my right big toe (apparently "Great Toe ' in surgeon speak) 5 weeks ago and it was a bit painful. Some of you may remember that my typing was even worse than now...

Lucky for me it was the right toe - I was back riding in two weeks - left Toe, ouch - Perhaps you need to set up your bike with a race shifter and then stop when you have to get back to neutral so that you can start again..... [laugh] [laugh]

Or you can go the other way - Pethadine [thumbsup]. No really, race shift pattern and have it set up so that you can change down using the top of you foot rather than your toe!

Ah well, you can always come to the Creek and watch me and the DesomediciRR take to the track.... [bang] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

This is terrible. No TIB because of a large case of TOE JAM! :'(


I was looking forward to hanging out and taking the piss out of each other over a  [beer]


I still think you should change your mind TIB as the ride is not for another week. [thumbsup] [moto] [thumbsup]


Missing you

Rob

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I was really looking forward to this ride....but there will be plenty more.

As soon as I get my bike back, I'm gonna need a buttectomy to get it removed from my arse, I'm not going to be off it. [evil]

I know that everyone has a better time on the rides when I'm there  [roll], but what can you do.  ;D

I'm gonna take a pic of my toe jam and put it on here tonight. [puke] [puke] [puke] [puke]


 ;D [cheeky]

I've got an idea,

I will take my Harley and you can sit on the back and be my pregnant dog for the day??? [thumbsup]


SOWADAYARECKON????

Rob

WWwwooooo Super.... Rob has the mower at maximin revs cutting my grass........

So what will it be Super???? Rob and the pregnant doging Harley........... Or the old faithful Big T hug  [laugh]  [laugh]  [laugh]

Thought that would stir a little something Trev! ;D

As the 31st is fast approaching, I was wondering if anyone has set meeting points for the north and westies?  I thought I might suggest a meeting point from out this way.
Roll call for the people west of Gladesville bridge who are attending.  ??? Or do people prefer to meet at the one place?

Hey Rob being the caring sharing kind of guy I am...... We can share the pregnant dog eeerrr I mean Super round.......   [cheeky]  [cheeky]  [cheeky]

Now can I have a ride on the Harley???????

There's usually a few meeting points for people congregating in and around Sydney.

I suggest that the ride's official starting point is Loftus Oval, just before the turn off to the RNP.

I would suggest a 8.30am arrive for a 9am depart. (and yes this time I will arrive on time with a full tank!)
I will be getting to Mecca by around 7.30, leaving 7.50ish to get to Loftus in time with a fuel stop.

That would get us to Bald Hill about 9.40am. Pit stop only to pick up Sth riders..
On to Mt Kiera and MP Pass. Fuel stop in Robertson for the Testasrettas - around 145 kms (no stop at pie shop, we'll do that on the return loop)
On to KV for lunch, then Nowra, Kiama and back up Jamberoo Mtn road to the pie shop.
Down the pass, out along the back roads, past Lil's (nick and robs) corner and then fuel at the mobil getting back on the freeway - about another 150kms.
Back up Mt Keira, on to Broughtons Pass and Appin for a cleansing ale.


So:

7.30am Mecca
8.30am Loftus Oval
9.40am Bald Hill

Post up any other meeting places!

7.30 at Mecca's for me and then follow the troop with a fuel fill up before the oval.....  [moto]

We can meet at the last servo on the Princes Hwy before the left hand bent in Kirrawee heading south  Matty knows the one I think its a BP  [thumbsup]

Yeah that's good it's a BP, maybe those coming from the South or in the South can meet there fuel up and head around the corner to the car park before the RNP.

Heard on the traffic updates on the radio that roadworks are continuing on Maq pass! Any reason for us to be concerned? Previous posts mentioned resurfacing, is there likely to be fresh bitumen? Any local info?

I suppose we can slut TIB around a little. As for a ride on the Harley.........What are you gona do for me??? ??? ???

Jokes aside I do intend bringing the Duke. I feel like a lot of engine abuse is gona happen! [thumbsup] [moto] [thumbsup]

No matter what you all say my real passion is still my Monster.  [moto] [coffee] [moto] [coffee]


Oh and BEER! ;D


Yea they are closing the road this week for a couple of days. The weekend is all systems go! [moto]


I was intending of meeting you lot at Loftus so a top up would be great!
What does everyone else from the south think???

What is this! I'm no ones sl*t!

Is this pick on T.I.B month?

Gimme a bit of sympathy....bikeless, toeless....I'm hangin by a threAD, I'M GONNA F*CKEN EXPLOOOOOODE!

Life will get better my bikeless - toeless - broken friend......

shall one of us come around so you can smell the fumes......

Rob, I will be meeting up at Bald Hill at 9:40 am, as I have a family commitment and can't get away earlier. cu there.

No worries I will be with the flock of Monsters [thumbsup]

Ok the dance has been done should be clear  [thumbsup]

The rain gods have spoken, it's gonna rain on Saturday because the rain gods frown upon the way T.I.B's been treated.


Or it's gonna be sunny, what do I know.


 [cheeky]

SORRY...  Oh that was'nt my bike you were talking about Matt??





                                                              Mmick

You are comming Mick? [moto]

Rob

No no, not at all. Just a general comment about bike fumes for Super to smell.
You know like a kiddies safety rag or dummy. Just something to get him by until the bike returns.

No Response??? I guess that means we are meeting at Mecca???

Hey guys, bad news for me, I'm out  >:(

A collossal screw up (I was sure my family commitment was on Sunday) means that I am not coming.

Bugger, have not been for a run for ages - bugger bugger bugger

Hey, join the club.  :-\

Looks like I can make it on Saturday (woot!). Just one quick question, where the hell is Mecca?  ???

Tricolore I will be leaving from North West Syd at about 6:30am  [coffee] to make it southside by 7:30am.

Mecca is on King Street, Sydney between Clarence and York on the side of the Grace Hotel...

Well Goldfish that sucks cause I was kinda hoping you might help lead....
Of course I know how to get to the Pie Shop but from there I'm a little bit of a novice when it comes to getting into K.V.

Guess I'll have to study the map a little harder...

Craigo! 7.30 in the city on Sat morning, we could meet on the way, I was thinking its is easy to get to Mecca via  victoria Rd and no tolls to stop at. Do you want to meet at Caltex Carlingford on P-H-Rd Thats 45min which we would do easy that time of the morning via marsden rd.

just dont do this on the 31
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WdXUg36BNk

I have commitments in the morning, is it ok to catch up later and tag along?
Regards
Don

I'm coming now, but I'm gonna pike it about half way round. I'm not too sure what time though.

Tricolore & Craigo - I'll meet you at PHR Caltex 6:30am.

Good on ya six95 youl hav a blast .I might be jumping ship half way as well not sure yet [thumbsup]

MMmmmmmm and I wondeRR wheRRe you might finish up when you jump ship????  [cheeky]  [cheeky]

Yeah I wondeRR.
Should be a pretty sight to see.
I'll reserve first sightings until later in the year.

With you Matty..... I think that a night at the factory complete with "Pit Girls" for the unveiling is the go..........  [popcorn]  [beer]   [drink]

So who's on the roll call for tomorrow.

Big T
Tricolore
Craigo
Six95
Dock
Andy
Matty
Monsterdorf?

At Baldhill

Mmick
Ducmonrob
Ducsport

The Don - meeting later

Who have I left out?

Your on you bring the pit girls and i bring the unveilee [thumbsup]

Bad news.

I'm OUT!!  [bang]

It looks like my starter motor has packed up, even put a nice new battery in that had over 500 cca and it sounded like the battery was flat, starter solonoid has checked out OK, so I guess its the starter.

Upside is.... I will meet you all at the Appin pub, thats if you are still comming through, Matty you can pass those photos over to me then if thats ok.

Do you think it will be strange if I wear my bike gear and carry my helmet and hang around you guys at  my local ??








                                                                 Mmick

Strange, not at all..... [roll] [roll]
Will burn you a CD now.

Did you smack the solenoid with a hammer?

That always works. [thumbsup]

Thanks Matty, Did Rob have any photo's he would like to donate to me??

Rob.....  Mate.......








                                                            Mmick

Like I said, the solonoid is fine, the only bit left to check is the starter motor, but I need to go and borrow my brother in-law's puller to take the left side engine cover off.






                                                        Mmick

Oops, missed that bit. :-\

He's sent you a PM to he can post you a CD....

I had the main relay under the seat next to the indicator flasher go bad on me and look like a starter motor problem... If you've still got the original yellow one there, carefully lever the yellow cover off and press the contacts together and see if it starts properly then. It's a simple thing to check and it's only 8 or 10 bucks to replace from any auto parts shop.

If it's the starter, Ducati won't sell you any parts, just a complete replacement, but there's some info over in TOB about which Kawasaki brushes and brush plate fit in - I bet Ron @ Flywheels would be happy to sell you kwaka parts for your Duc ;-)

big

Thanks mate will give that a try tonight.






                                                               Mmick

Ok maybe I missed it but what time and do you have an address (or lat/long) for the start.

Thanks

They were awesome all three of them, 1 with pipes fitted. Wow what a sound. Didnt get the leg over , I guess I have to wait until mine turns up.
The owners only had good things to say may be to justify the prices tag surly it cant be the perfect bike.

Great photos Matty!

and great bikes everyone!

Those Zards look very good!

 [thumbsup]

Great to see us up there.....

"That's dangerous" was the call from Annick while watching us go up the Pass in the second video.....
Nnooooooo I said not at all, more dangerous to stay behind the slow moving cage....

If we were out of control maybe, But from where I was sitting Matty was in full control [moto].

Matty those new tires are realy working for you I think you took a few by surprise yesterday you own the road [thumbsup]

Yeah that was just Annick speaking as a wife.
She knows I'd never do anything that would endanger myself.

thanks for the kudos, I'm really loving the change in my bike with these tires.
Can't wait for the course Friday to learn even more.

cheers
Matty...

And ditto Matty and the new tires...... Noticed how you were "sticking" to the road and powering on...... No stopping you now....  [thumbsup]

Hey Doc, did you get any of the Eastern Creek footage as well?

I may have missed this ride but I had a great day at the creek - I am looking forward to the next ride though [cheeky]

I did get some of you ripping it up [moto] [moto] il post them tonight [thumbsup]

The quality is much better on the plasma, You tube image is not so great [thumbsup]

It's the compression they use to get it on the web.

Hey rusty here are some vids of you tearing up the track at the creek woohooo [moto]

You are good with that camera. Thx for the Vid. I look forward to repaying the favour for you when you get the new GP6RR out on the track! [thumbsup]

Im a still bit shaky but i should get better.

Lets make a deal you give me some more pointers on turn 9 and il give you a squirt of the GP6RR on the track  [thumbsup]

Matty has the files and hes going to do something special.There you go matty your under the pump now ;D

Yeah just trying to work out the new iMovie software.
Will have a good crack at it tomorrow.

 

Geez R_usty, that's a deal too good to pass up  :o at least on the straight, not sure how I'd feel about it while leaning it over  :-\

Doc that is a done deal!!!!  [moto] [moto] [moto]

I am with you on that Goldfish - I think the guys that had their DDRR's on the track felt the same way too! When I checked out their tyres there was still quite a large ' chicken strip' showing......

Funny thing that - checking out other people's tyres - The Motorbike version of dogs sniffing each other [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Rusty / Dock you better let us all know of the big day cause I'll be there with the video camera to cpature all the action......  [popcorn]

I can wait its going to be fun ;D ;D

Not sure I will be able to fit your grin in the shot.... Might have to bring the wide angle,,,,  ;D  [moto]

Il end up looking like the joker from Batman ;D [laugh] [laugh]

Lucky, Lucky Bas tids
