Tasmania in February

[Yellow Meanie]

Yeah, I'm keen. The Thylacine is getting her new paws tomorrow. 

Anytime before mid January is good for me!   

[techno]

I'd be up for that. Maybe sometime b/w Xmas and new year for an east coast monster meet up.  [moto]

I'll check back to see who is available when. Weather looks OK from now on.

Am I allowed on an OzMonsters ride even if I'm not on my Monster? Blasted thing spat the cush drives out the back of the sprocket & ate my eccentric hub so I came down here bikeless.

Not leaving bikeless though. In a discussion regarding my dad giving up riding, the subject of his '91 gixxer came up. I was gonna take it back to Canberra in March/April sort of timeframe, but, that's now changed. I'm taking it back on the boat with me on the 5th.

It has scarily old tyres which are a bit square and very slippery, but it went ok on a gentle lash over and back Grasstree Hill just then .

I've got my (now incorrect URL) OzMonsters tshirt I could wear though. .

06 S2R1k, 23k km. I'm having a hella whinge about it but made harder by the fact it was discovered just as I was to head off on an epic snowies ride to get me down to Tassie. Long story, can't be arsed derbying .

Anyway, might be up for a ride. I'm kinda out on the 29-30-31-1-2 sorta time period but pretty sure I can squeeze in a ride sometime else . And/or make a good day of it on my way up to the boat... though with 10 year old, squared off and knackered tyres I'm taking it pretty easy. Plus, hey, the gixxer is old enough to buy beers at a pub.

Well, I did live in Tassie for 22 years . Lapped most of the state before I left. (And I and the gixxer are already here. Posting from a nice house overlooking the Derwent in Lindisfarne).

[bazz20]

[roxy696]

I am sure that we will get up there soon!  oh and bazz the coffee stops are so the guys have something to do while waiting that will not get them arrested . Merry Christmas  only one more sleep to go!!  Happy rides everyone the weather is looking pretty good for riding here in Tas.  Hi ellingly might see you on a ride soon then.

Reviving this thread as it seems we might have family commitments out of the way so we can fit in our east coast meet up.

I suggest Sunday 3 January 2010. Leave Hobart about 10 and plan to meet Bazz for lunch around Swansea / Bicheno area. Weather should be OK. Low 20's and no rain. Last ride before I'm back at work Monday.

Does this work for you Dave, Nic and Bazz?

Ellingly, you still about with that Gixxer?
