'when in doubt apply throttle' - it may not save you, but it will end the suspense

I will send you a PM with all the details....

Re linen, I'm sure that I've asked that to be included. To be honest, the PI accom is finalised, but I was waiting on the final route to confirm the others...

Jindy (my family place) has linen from memory, but you will perhaps need a towel. I'm thinking of packing a small travel towel, as Mostro is bringing the grandaddy bike, I assume that he's got the optional BMW drying rack attached so we can ensure the towels are dry....

I'll get onto it tommorrow to firm up the remaining loose ends..

Indeed...I got one of those collapsible Hills Hoists and put wheels on the bottom of it. Mind need some extra strong pegs for the towels though...

Is it heated? I'm sure it is being a BMW, cause they know how to charge for options.

  I would still like to ride the Mansfield - Woods Point rd sometime in the future if anyone else wants to give it a go. G??

It's got potential once everything settles down up that way.

It would be good to catch up with the group at the Island. I'll be down for the weekend and perhaps can give you some routes to go back via...

Cheers,

heated grips, but they come standard....
yeah, they charge like wounded bulls, but I guess so does Ducati compared to the Jap manufacturers.

and bling from Rizoma and others is available too, so needless to say, my credit card is getting a work out between the 2....only live once !

So I've been looking at the forecast this morning..

Chance of showers on Tues out of Syd... not a big deal

Looks like we'll have fine weather on PI for the whole time..... good news.

rain on the trip = not a problem. Rain at the track would be more of a bummer..

whos excited, that would be me   [thumbsup] ;D

heatherp

Woohoo a good weather forcast for Philliip Island- that's great.  Your voodoo isn't working Bazz.

I've been to 2 GP's at PI at different times of the year and both times there was one day out of the four where the weather was ordinary so I'm still gonna be prepared for it.  Always a bonus if it doesn't happen.

Excited?  hmn will be on Monday morning when I knock off work to go on leave.
