If you're in Brissy, or within cooee of it, like the Goldie or something, say "Hi".

If there are enough of us, and if there is interest, maybe a group ride could be had. If not, no biggie.

Me first... "Hi, Michael from the Gold Coast area."

Ok. Your turn now...

Michael

Hi Mister

I'm Paul from Bardon - Ride a similar GS500 '09 - black with Ventura Rack - does have a scorpion pipe.

Just coming to grips with riding a manual bike - owned and ridden a T-Max (stilll in the Garage) for a few years before I saw the light.

Cheers

I just came from up that way. You guys have some of the best roads to ride on up there.

I'am Mik

Mik,

Dread is not in Brisvegas but Twisted is. And we also have another rider out past Ipswich but he has fork seal issues at the moment. Plus another I know through my youtube - latest ride http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IBa054AoY4 So we definitely have enough for a ride.

Michael

Definitely have to organise a ride soon. We have to take Mister on a Mount Mee run so we could maybe do that sometime?

Yep. I'm up for it. Make a route, pick a date & time - this Sunday 31 Oct and Nov 14 are out - and I'm in. Be there with bells on 

Michael

iam ging on a ride with a few people from netrider on the 7th

kilcoy via nebo/Glorious should be fun

P.S.
i will be taking it easy as ive only been back on a bike for 3 weeks. i stopped riding in '97 when i moved to Townsville.

Becareful, those netriders like to fall off a lot.

Damn - will be going for my open licence on the 7th. Mister maybe up for it.

Nah, already riding elsewhere. The 7th, the people we rode with on Sunday-just-gone are doing the same Falls ride we did the other month. Lunch at the falls though instead of the Urbenville Pub. So I'll be on that. They leave Yatala BP at 8:30am sharp. I'll be picking them up at 9:30 at the BP in Boonah. I'll be sending you a text on the ride asking how you're ER6 Experience is going.

And the 14th... I was thinking of going for a ride up to Kilcoy, but they're doing a corker. Down to Pottsville. Part of it being the route we did with The Mole - Nerang, M'bah, Mooball. Heck, check it... awesome ride this one LOOK - Leave Yatala BP at 8:30am sharp.

Michael

You should see if the mole wants to meet up with you on the 14th trip?

i need to put the bike in for its first service very soon, iam at 930/950ks atm

First service shouldn't take too long. You taking it to Virginia or Brisbane M'Cycles? I think both will do services on Sat.

Michael

Virginia, since they give me the free four year warrant lol

Xlar:

How'd your ride go?

Our ride was great. Only downside was... coming back to Rathdowney through the twisties there were two buses WTF? We eventually got past them but it slowed us down a bit (lot)

Michael

Sweet, another Brissy Gser. Welcome. 

Is there ride day/s soon?

Aussie 500 and Twisted and Xlar and ... some I need to send a message to...

There is A ride this Sunday the 14th down to Pottsville. At last count there were 22 going. It's not my ride but I'll be going on it.  This is the route

The ride will be leaving BP at Yatala at 8:30am Sharp (I'll be joining the ride at Canungra as it takes about the same time to get to Canungra from my place as it does Yatala). IF you want to come, please let me know so I can tell the ride organiser - who needs to know because we have to book numbers for lunch.

Be warned, these guys ride at speed. I know Xlar's experience might suggest otherwise, but the netriders are not these guys, ok. Twisted can attest to how they ride. And so I say this... if you come and cannot cut the mustard, don't try to, just ride your own ride and let them zoom off. Cause they WILL go past you if you are holding them up - eg, ain't no way a Busa is going to sit behind a GS500, get it? And I say this cause there is Pressure to ride at paces faster than you're comfortable with if the group is doing it. Which is very bad if you're new to riding or getting back to riding after a long absence.

Having said that...

How 'bout a GS500 ride at a steadier pace for the Sunday the 21st Nov?

If that date is cool with you guys I've got a few different routes we can do...

Route # 1: Esk via Splityard Creek, then Esk Hampton Rd and lunch at Meringandan Pub, back down Spring Bluff and Murphys Creek and then the Warrego. The Route

Route # 2: MaMa Creek for smoko, Yangan for lunch, then back down the Cunningham, refuel at Aratula. The Route

Route # 3: Queen Mary Falls - but we'll stop at the lookout for smoko - then on to Urbenville for lunch and back through the Mt Lindesay Hiway Twisties to Rathdowney. The Route
