Mate, I'm not like You and the Bermi crowd,

Where else you you wear em!

Cheers Alan

As much as I want to come down to this it is out of reach... very sad... :sorry:

That's a shame Richard, it's always good to catch up with you. See you in March.

Hi Pete

Now all that is left, are some detailed directions on the back route you informed me about from Goulburn.
G'day Gavin

Did you get any googly map routes from Pete to load into navigator?

Cheers Alan

Not yet.
I met with Troy last weekend at our final F3A comp and he informed me that he may meet up with us at Tarago.
He would probably come through Nerriga, then Galen Rd, Sandy Point Rd, Cullulla Rd to Tarago, I'm not sure but, it could be a good route for us.
I shall do some (low level) flight planning.
I will attempt to send you a .gpx of my proposed route.
Basically the standard route through Picton, old Hume Hwy to MossVale, a little on the Motor Way (sorry) then Braidwood Rd to Braidwood then Kings Hwy to Pet's is what I have at the moment.   
Will try to do better.

   Alan, if you and Gavin are heading down on Friday, you are a bit limited on choices. The routes I talked to Gavin about at Troy's shed day are a fair bit longer and would involve more than one days' ride. The route Troy has suggested is a good one, my advice is to stay away from the coast road for along as possible, especially on a Friday afternoon. Once you are south of Batemans Bay, you will almost have the road to yourselves.
   See you soon, regards, Pete. :good2:

Rumor has it that the Diesel FJ might make an appearance.

Yes I saw on Facebook that the Diesel bike has emerged from the shed and is possibly going to get a bath.

I'm sure the first time I just 'happened' to meet Dave he was riding it back from the Putty with his son.
I was filling up at Wilberforce and he passed and came back.

When Dave was riding the "diesel" bike he had to stop at every fuel station he came to. He could only do 200km's between fuel stops or he would run out of fuel. The bike was blowing a shit load of black smoke hence the nick name "Diesel Dave" :lol:

One of the greatly anticipated highlights of Pete & Alf's and Troy's manshed weekends for me is the ride through the Vic High Country and NSW snowfields in Spring/Summer.
It is always a bit of a novelty seeing the remnants of the Winter snow on the ridges in the distance only 3 weeks before Christmas. In Australia we don't associate snow and Summer together.
This was Falls Creek today.

Better get me some of that global warming.

No question really, rebuilt 12 back to the scene of the incompetence! :biggrin:

You fellas know I'm no better a rider since then right? :sarcastic:

I'm leaving at half past on Friday, via Tarago, Braidwood, Clyde Valley (Right turn Clyde.... :sarcastic:), and the ZZZ Hwy to beer, whoops, Bermie.

If anyone is up for a join I might decide what half past it is....
