I've got my bike all booked in for it's 36k km service, clutch and steering head bearing check ($$$$ ) next week, and hopefully it'll be in one piece again by the weekend of the 25th. So I was wondering if any of you guys were up for a ride down to Kangaroo Valley for lunch at the pub? Any particular day you guys are free on? Saturday or Sunday, weekend of the 25th or the week after?

Probable route will be the RNP, Mount Keira (possibly), Maquarie Pass, Kangaroo Valley. Then either the reverse way back, or via Kiama? Suggestions?

Sounds good I'll check that weekend and let you know 
36000k wow thats pretty good

Bike had 17k on it when I bought it in 2004, would have alot more mileage on it if I hadn't been sick for 11 months of last year :S

Anyone able to recommend a suspension place for some racetech/eibach fork springs?? They're next on my list when I get a job and an income again.

I might be a in for that weekend (24 or 25) I would proable meet you guys around the pie shop or Albion Park Maccas 

all the best matt:)  your friend

Safe riding

Where abouts are you? are you going to do it yourself or have a workshop do it for you?

I'm down south in the Sutho Shire, dont really have access to tools myself, but might be able to find someone to give me a hand, otherwise a workshop stop over is on the cards.

Dropped the bike in for a service last night, new metal clutch plates (old ones were @#$%), 36k km service, new steering head bearing, brake line bleed and the mech said a new tyre in 1-2k km is in order (I already knew that). The bike should run alot better when I get it back.

Just need an income then new springs here we come!

PS: TAFE is boooooring.

cant say I know any suspension places your way most of the ones I know are out west but I'll ask around, are we all still keen for a ride next week?

Weather and health permitting I'm still up for a ride down south 

Would everyone be happy with a saturday run? 

Picking the bike up tomorrow morning, and have SFA to do till Monday, so any day's fine with me.

sounds good to me what time saturday.
Also Matt i'll try to remember to bring the VCD with me

Righto, got my bike back, and it's toit, loik a toiger! Feels great.

Now, how about we leave at 8:30-9am? from loftus oval and get down to Albion Park where we can meet up with matt86to. I've got no idea what time we'll get to Albion Park though if we go via the RNP and Mt Keira.

I've dodgied up a map for the proposed route;

Any suggestions on an alternate route, stops or way home from Albion Park is appreciated.

PM me for my mobile# if you want it.

That may be a little early but see how I go but otherwise cool.
Also Brembo do you have a better map I cant really read that one but Ive got a far idea of the route

Few zoomed in pics (not mine);














Maps were made with Garmin City Navigator if anyone's interested. Wouldn't mind getting a copy myself in the future, looks trick.

I was just about to ask if you could bring it down with you   cool I can not wait to see it again thank-you is steve comminging too? man it would be great to have both Bandit's  .

brembo if you & Lukewarm leave there about 9.00am there about's it will proble take you about an hour and half maybe ? so if I'm at Albion Park maccas for a 10.30 meet & we  can leave by 11.00 this gives us time . what do you guys think if think it's too late pleae let me know.

Lukewarm, hey if you can please bring you Cam? we might get some great ride shots:) also if it's ok I may have some friends who might be up for the ride.
