Australia GS Riders Meets

[bubba zanetti]

Hi guys

Just signed up to the forum, it's good to see some local GS owners.

I'm at Bathurst and should be getting my bike back on the road the next week or so. If any of you guys ever head out this way, let me know, it'd be good to meet up with some fellow GS riders.

They kept changing the date for final preorder's on the merchandise so I missed out  :guns: I'll have to grab something when I'm down there instead.

I'm staying in Jindabyne Friday/Saturday nights, but current plan is to get down there early Friday morning if anyone wants to meet up then for breakfast, or lunch.

that looks like a pretty sweet ride !
I don't know NSW to well. How far past VIC/NSW border is Thredbo ?
Would this be a long trip from Melbourne ?
Its a excellent cause and a big ride with thousands of other bikes is always fun. :mrgreen:

Hey guys once again for some reason no message came through telling me about replys so I just noticed your snowy run updates, Ive got my entry pack and pretty ready to go.
Last year I noticed there were only a couple of GS's there so if the trend continues it shouldn't be to hard to find one and other  :lol:  but big bandits there maybe a few but I'll keep an eye out for you Matt or just look for a GS500, A Bandit and an FZ1 together and chances are that will be me.
Who else are you going down with will it be a group or by yourselfs?
I'll be staying at threadbo at the Alpenhorn friday and saturday night and then head off to Tarthra for Sunday night and a trip down The Brown Mountain.
With the merchandise if you didn't order any buy them as soon as you get there as last year they sold out of the good stuff pretty quickly all I got was a T-shirt and hat (love my hat).
Any way hope to see you all there should great run as it was last year and the date for next year is the 11th of November

Hi Lukewarm,

man I can not wait I have two day of work to:) then I have two weeks off ,I still don't know what day I'm going down it may tues or wed, maybe thru I'm waitting to see what the weather is doing. Also at this stage I don't know who is going to be down from last year so I might be looking for someone to ride with    Have you guys talk about what run you might do?

What time on fri are you leave Sydney just asking because in the afternoon I will be at the Service Station on the highway at East Jindy takeing pics of bikes comming around top. I got some good pics last  year

all the best matt:) your friend

P.S How great would two Bandit sound  :mrgreen:

[Lukewarm Wilson]

Hi Matt,
Yep its gunna be good, haven't decided what time we are leaving yet but I expect early say about 7-8am same as last year so I would expect to be there some time early afternoon we stopped at cooma last year for a break and the place was packed with bikes so hopefully should get some pics of that.
I'm hoping to do the whole loop this year as last year we thought the weather was going to be bad what with the wind, rain, hail, snow and sleet when we were at thredbo but by the time we got to Jinndy its was perfect but we still only did three stops to get the stamps then headed back to the pub for the arrvo but if you want PM me your mobile number I can give you a call while we are there same with Brembo if he likes.
Yes 2 bandits would sound good if you got the staintune we can record the noise in Stereo :lol:
Well hope to hear from you both I know I'm starting to get edgy just waiting for next week.

I'm out of the Snowy Ride  :x  Still havent gotten myself together yet so don't think a 4 day 1500km trip is a good idea just yet.

Sleddog, if your up for it we can meet up and go for a dawdle through the Royal National Park next weekend. If not, I'm still going if I wake up before midday  

[brembo]

Almost forgot, went out to the bike show on Friday. Pretty good display, but I think I went to early and missed a few bikes which were delayed in transit, and none of the stand babes had rocked up yet  

Few pics Here

[Lukewarm Wilson]

sorry to hear your not going to be able to make the snowy run Brembo hopefully next year.
The bike show was OK but i was pretty  :x  that there was no GSR600 there it was really the only reason I was going but some nice bikes there none the less.
Hi to sleddog glad you found the site always need more aussies on the site where abouts are you in sydney?
See you there Matt we are leaving friday about 7.30 hope to be there about 3-4pm
