Looking for a Vacation...

[slowpoke13]

Hey,

I just got a wild hair up my ass and have begun looking into spending some time in Dec/Jan down in Australia. Nowhere specific. I've only been there for 1  day as I flew into Townsville and caught my ship back to Japan. So, I'm looking for options. Any you may have. I'll bring the helmet and jacket should some riding be available. But, I'm really just wanting to have some fun for a week or so. It would just be me. I'm usually pretty good about wandering around and having fun on my own. A tour guide would be nice (specifically an attractive one of the female variety), but not required. A bed would be cool as the plane ticket might be a bit pricey. Even a couch for a night or two. This is just a quick idea. If not feasible, possible, affordable, I'll just stay here in Japan. No worries.

There are a heap of options available...what do you really want to see and do?

Do you want to just relax on a beach drinking  or stay in a city and have a lot of  while riding some good roads with a few of us?

I kow you would have a blast anywhere you go BUT if you want some drinkin/riding buddies and ride some of the best roads in Australia (IMHO  ) Sydney is the go.

We don't care about shitty weather....

If you call shitty weather 25 degree sunny days.

Honestly, I'm not picky where. If I get some riding in, yeah. If it's just some dirt riding, that's cool (never been dirt biking). I was figuring to play tourist during the day. Could drink in the evening/night/morning. Would like to see the usual tourist stuff. I could do Sydney, Melbourne, beaches, nature, whatever. I would love to hook up with DMFers wherever I end up. I understand what I'm asking is pretty vague. If someone were to tell me "hey, I'm going to take a vacation to the US, what should I do?" I'd probably slap them. RIght now, I am looking for some different touristy things. Where are the most beautiful women? And friendly.. they have to be friendly and like Americans (hell, if need be, I could bring my uniform.... nahh).


All this is still completely in my head still. Lots of outside influences I've got to take care of first.

Oh Ho!! I can see a reopeneing of the Siddlee/ Mextoria weather debate again???

I may be wrong but I think Syd has got more precipitation (Read pissing down  ) than Mel over the last 12 months??

Friendly AND like Americans .... geez don't know if we can do that

[slowpoke13]

Hey, last name is Rodriguez... I can pretend to be Mexican....

Ok, at least a Coast... Right now, leaning towards the East Coast. Seems to be more places to go. No?

[Jukie]

east coast is good for me, how about having a look at the intro  thread  for oz monster, to see where we are.

Good for you huh.... 

Ok, that's about as much leg humping as I can muster at the moment (need more  ).

I do see a lot of NSW (and I always thought that was some sort of Not Safe for Work marker). SO, that would be best. Hmm.. this might actually work...

pokey, if you end up in NSW, then we'd definitely schedule some activities around your visit - typically including some two wheeled action - we'll rustle up a bike for you somehow.

I'm sure we can help sort the details once you have fleshed out some plans 

[slowpoke13]

I think it would be good. I don't think the ship will make it down there prior to me transferring back tot he states. So, I gotta go on my own while I can. I'll be checking some prices for plane tickets through the week and possible hotel packages <insert leg humping of female DMFers for a cozy place to sleep>.

Poke man, go for the East Coast, I reckon. I am biased, but Sydney would be a good bet. There's lotsa tourist stuff to do - blue mountains, opera house, bridge climb, beaches etc, as well as some great rides if you hook up with DMFers  [moto] Sorry to the Mubourne guys - your part of Oz is OK too, but too bloody cold for me  ducsport

bloody pusseys slow poke come to tassie where the men are men and the sheep are scared, open speed limits on the twistie road cheap acomadation  , just pull up and sleep in some ones barn , better beer , brilliant weather at that time of year , one day good for riding the next will be good for sking

I live in Briz but + 1 for Tas Victoria and N.S.W for that time of year, Victoria has the best beaches ( ooh shit hope I haven't started something) and of course it has the "great ocean road", all 3  states have great riding, as far as cities go though Melbourne and Sydney, interchangeable, Brisbane don't bother, Perth nice, Adelaide asleep after 9 pm, Darwin hot and Hobart improving.
