OMADA - the Oz Monster Alpine Ducati Adventure thread

tough crowd!

hope you don't kiss your mother's drunk desperate friend s with that mouth!

Back on topic......

If this goes ahead in 2011 then I'm in. Just too short notice to do it in 2010 with turismo and all.

Sounds like a brilliant idea and I hope it becomes a yearly event.

[mattyvas]

It might not go ahead as early as thought.
Due to works planned for the Lodge I hear and to perhaps get a few more of us together.
It may be later in the year after the Ski season.

So fear not, if you can't make it for the first time round then I am sure it will ramp up into being
an annual event that more of us can attend each year.

So is anything happening in March?

Pinched this from the MotoGP website:
October 17th Australia (Phillip Island)

In the days leading up to or following we should be available. If you are still thinking of a date later in the year, could/should/would this work?

[goldFiSh]

it's a tentative right now for this year for march - all depends on how the lodge renovations are going...

We're going to the MotoGP with the family this year, so it may work, but likely that I will not have a bike with me :-(

I've been hearing persistent rumours about a trailer

[Dannog]

I'm still keen to either ride to MotoGP or do the alpine adventure. Either way I have the lease pass.
Nick, I also have a trailer if you need a lend

trailer is coming, but perhaps not on that trip - not much point and more of a pain in the arse for the little riding i would be doing..

[goldFiSh]

OK, so here's the low down:

There's a lot of roadworks in Perisher this summer (they're fixing all the roads to the lodges) from Jan to Early March, and shortly after that, there's the new kitchen being installed.

All in all, it's not available to be booked until after Easter...

So in all reality, it's probably not going to happen in Feb / March as originally proposed.
The GP could also be OK, but I'm not 100% on the roads being open - they should be, but who really knows...

There is a chance that there may be a reconnaissance mission this year before the snow falls (more to get our ski gear into our lockers whilst i can still drive up to the door), and if it works out, I'll trailer the monster there to explore..

We'll have to see, but it's likely that this may be a 2011 event - at least if should be well planned...
