Moto Guzzi Club of Queensland Forum

Who's going ? I've got the top end Off the Sp3 getting the heads done and the clocks counting down.

I'm in, unless some crap turns up in my life to trash yet another weekend

Ditto.
I'm booked in.
Sounds like a good ride.

yep, am looking forward to it, just hope I can get this bike back together by then.Effin valve guides.

If you wanted a practice run I see the Ducati Club of NSW is holding the Thunder Rally at Nundle this weekend

Wal is probably going

well the bike is back together and sweet, so I'm a definite, may be bringing another 750 Breva riding mate, that should cheer Hairee up.

Good news Crump. Hope your mate knows the way, 'cos we'll be out the front

Ok its this weekend, I'm riding down to Brissy Friday and staying in Petrie that night, how long is it gonna take me to get from there to Yatala BP in the morning???? Also is it on the right or left hand side??

Crump,

From Petrie get on the Gateway Mwy go over the Gateway Bridge and keep going till you get onto the Pacific Mwy (M1) towards the Gold Coast. You then take EXIT 38 off the motorway, this is just south of Beenleigh. In case you don't know the exit numbers reflect the exits distance from the Brisbane CBD they do not run consecutively. Anyway when you get off at this exit you come to a roundabout, make a tight left turn here to the first exit off the roundabout. The service station is a hundred metres or so on the right.

As for how long this will take, I'm not sure. At a guess I'd say around 45 minutes as you should get a traffic free run. Others may know better than me about this.

See you there

If you are looking at options for the trip home and were thinking about the Gwydir Hwy (I was) you might find this interesting http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/constructionmaintenance/majorconstructionprojectsregional/northcoast/gwydirhighway.html

Apparently the road is closed during the week but is open on weekends, but they mention delays. Not sure just how long these delays are, so I don't think I'll risk it. Pity, a damn nice ride that road

If I'm looking at a resonably direct run home I might just follow the New England up to Tenterfield then East on the Bruxner Hwy to Casino. Then North to Kyogleto the Mt Lindsey Hwy and home. Would love to do the Oxley Hwy but it will make it a long 'ol day, so I'll keep that for another time.

Anyone else given this any thought? Ideas???

I'm easy, as long as we dont go the same way back.As for the Oxley, we have to organise that trip sometime soon.

Well we made it back alive. Crump, missed ya mate. Next time maybe? I've got some pics to host n post and when I get drunk enough to feel inspired I'll do a write up on the trip. Thanks to Spoon for organising the whole thing.

and am I one pissed off little vegemite Alternator shit itself this side of Gympie on the way down Friday morning, got a tow to Brissy and arrived about 10 pm Friday night and only got home today after getting the alternator rewound, so much for my holidays, but like you said, next time.

Crump!
Glad you finally made it on a ride, and good to meet you and the SP3 face-to-face.
Hope you enjoyed the trip, I know I did despite the rain.
At least we had dry roads for a lot of the twisty bits coming home, and it was great meeting all the NSW Guzzisti at Bendemeer.
See you next time.........
