I could invite a friend as he is always looking for an opportunity to run his Laverda. I'm not a good enough rider to push him on my RG but I am sure some of you guys could on your bikes. He is a bit of a nutter!!
Let me know what date and approx what time at Goulburn and we could meet up. Failing that I live in Exeter which is just off Sally's Corner Road at the McDonalds turn-off on the Hume Highway. I could organise a Sausage sizzle and you guys could stop here for lunch. I can organise some rare bikes to be here, and then we could ride the back way to Robertson, great sweeping bends, stop off at the Robertson Pie shop for a 2 Stroke display to all the bikers and head off to Wollongong. Does that sound OK? If not I will just join in as you wish.
Hey Lindon,
Thats sounds like a great idea... maybe we can sort out your carbs while we're there... there'll be some mechanical talent on that ride for sure.
We would definately like to have you along, even if its only for part of the way.
Cheers, Markus.

Excuse my ignorance but what happens on the 4th Sunday of the month that you get the day off?

HI EPA
I am a Baptist Pastor and we use the Uniting Church building in Bundanoon as the uniting Church do not use it much anymore. On the 4th Sunday the Uniting Church use the building leaving me free on that day.
One Sunday recently we invited the local bike club and their spouses for a pre-ride breakfast and a BBQ lunch after their ride. We had about 40 people and a good number of bikes. Great stuff.
You could say that I'm meeting my flock where they are at!!!!

Ha HA Mike
You'll have to negotiate that mate. I do believe though that if you own an RG500 you might get to the gate a bit quicker......especially if you are a lousy rider like me!!LOL.
It would be great if we could organise a National Rg500 gathering. Maybe I could see if possible to get a track day at Goulburn's racetrack. I contacted Kevin Schwantz's manager about a month ago to see if he would come over for a track weekend in NSW and he was happy with the idea. We would need to get a good response though. He would come with a team and do a weekend training for budding track stars he said.

We just missed a golden opportunity. Kevin was in Oz for the Aussie GP. Great interview on One HD yesterday before racing commenced.

Definately post it... I think the only requirement is that we want to see 2 stroke road bikes. Thats the point of it.

Not at all... Ant was about to cancel it... so I'm really happy we've found a few more people that are interested. It would be nice to grow this event every year.

Looks like Lindon (preacherman) may not be able to take part. He's had to shoot off to Perth to visit a sick family member and is not sure how long he'll be over there. Hoping for the best Lindon!
I'll bring myself and a friend (1 bike each).
I think Paul (TwoSmoker) and Pat (EPApolice) are pretty much definate (both RG400s).
A friend with an RGV250 may also make it (Harry).
I'll see if I can raise the chap with the RG500 that came along last year. I did email him a link, but he didn't respond.
Craig won't be able to do the support van unfortunately as he's not allowed to drive (doctor's orders). I may have a fallback option here.... I'll let you know if it comes together.
Cheers, Markus.
