Got this form another forum that im with. There should be a OZ monster presence IMO [moto]
Charlie Boorman (who rode with Ewan Mcgregor in the Long Way Round and the Long Way Down) is on his latest adventure, and will be riding into Sydney from Woollongong on the 22nd July and is after as many people as possible to join him.
The only details I know at this stage are meeting at Flagstaff Hill Park, Woollongong at 7:30am, and it is planned to arrive in Sydney at 11am.
I don't know what route will be rode, but I have emailed for more information, and if I can find out more, I'll provide an update.
I'm planning on being there, and it would be great to catch up with any other members of this forum who want to join in.
For details on Charlie's trip, see http://www.byanymeans.co.uk/

Jeeze, would'nt that be something if we surrounded him with
MONSTERS[/color]
Mmick
Geez I will have to talk to the boss.(Work Boss that is!) [thumbsup]
Flagstaff hill is where the light house is in Wollongong.
If you don't know where it is I'm sure some will tell you where to go. ;D
If I don't ride on the trip I will see you lot there anyway for a gander! [thumbsup] [moto] [thumbsup]

Much as I would love to do this ride - I will be at the MNotoGP [laugh] and won't be back in time.
PS - did a full day on a 1098 on the roads north of San Fran and I must say - I MISS MY MONSTER! My nuts hurt - I need to stop every hour or so as the 1098 is just not a touring bike. But it will be great to ride it on the parade lap a Laguna Seca though!
See you guys soon!

ok, so who's coming?
Hi All,
I am in.
As people are coming from all over, why not meet at the golden arches on cnr of Mt Ousley Road and Princes Hwy.
It is about a 10 min ride from there.
We could meet at 7am
Cheers
Con
Ok Con, Melvin im in, Im coming from Liverpool.
Don
Breaky at Maccas then at 7!
So you all there.
Rob
I ought to be in.. but.. Maccas? Eeeewwwwwww... crap coffee!!! Eeeeewwwwwwwwww!!!
i've slept in ................ big time [bang]
Was wondering where you all were...
I slept in too, so I "guessed" what the route would be and thought I'd join in on the Princes highway at Kogorah. I think I missed the main group, so headed for the final meat up, got there just before the group.
Got a few pics...

We guessed that you did! ;D
Don't worry there was 4 of us from this board and quite a few more monsters in which MMick introduced himself to and told them about the forum.
There was a nice 1000s with spoked wheels and quite a few other goodies. Thought the bloke was a little arogant as he really didn't want to talk to Mick and I. I think he was more interested in chasing down Charlie! [roll]
Rob [bacon]
I got lost at the botanical gardens got the shits and went and dropped off a tender. I have photos of that 1000s ie but dont know how to post them. I agree with you Rob that bloke was a rude prick to MMick and yourself. NOB!
Don

He thought his shit didn't stink! ;D
Hang on a minute....................maybe he is that bloke called...................TOOL!!! [laugh]
Rob
still like to see his bike though....Don email those pics to someone who will post em up!
only bloke I've seen with spoked wheels on his Ducati was Ralph Lauren on his 99 and 01 Chromes.
Don fire them to me on email via the little button on the left.
I'll pop them up for all to see.
He (Charlie) seems like a pretty cool sort of bloke though, nothing seemed to phase him, photo's, no worries, autograph, again no worries, would like to have a ten minute chat with him (maybe let him talk for a sec) and see what else he has planned.
Rob and I left the mob at Bald Hill, and ended going back to Wollongong for a coffee, good to meet up with you Don, but dont call me 'Big T' again, I might get a complex.
Mmick
sorry MMick it was a guess just looking at your stature.
Here you go peoples.
A snap from The Don of the Monster with Wire wheels.
