So do we have any plans for our 'merican mate?

Is there a scheduled time and place for the masses, is the timeframe too tight ... does anybody have a plan they care to share?

good call mate, i think they're due to land on Sunday, so it might be a mid weeker?

paging bigiain (who presumably knows what the hell is going on with their visit!) or joe, of course!

Mid week is a good idea. Tue or Wed (but not Thu) works or potentially Fri. MEL for WSBK Sat-Sun, then back in SYD Mon.

What's the best place? Bar Italia? Or have you found someplace better?

Thursday night is Bar Italia night  :(

I'm pretty flexible so if anyone would like to pipe up and make a sugestion I'll go with that.

If that suits you, then we will make the effort I'm sure.

So you land Sunday (19th) morning?

I'm arranging for the ST to be at Iain's place this thursday, if that doesnt work then some time on the weekend, either way the bike will be at your disposal.  [thumbsup]

I can be free Wednesday next week.
We could actually make it up Mac Pass this time!!!
Maybe the Southern loop to Kangaroo Valley and back?

Can I txt you on your US cell when you arrive?

I'm speechless...almost! Many, many thanks mate. Don't go out of your way: I'm happy to make my way out to Appin too if that works out better! And I *will* be buying you many beers on this trip!

Cool.
Let me know your number when you arrive and I'll see what I can set up with you guys.
If mother nature is unpleasant which she has been here lately, I'll see how much time I can make to help get you/show you guys around.

Cheers
Matty... [thumbsup]
