Yeah, fair enough, it is a time consuming ride. Maybe one of our Melbourne brethren can help with sorting out a bike for those couple of days. Some of us from Sydney could even ride down and meet up with you too...

We'll figure it out

My biggest obstacle right now is the fact that the WSBK 2012 schedule is still "provisional"...I wonder when they firm the dates up? Would hate to book it only to have the race move.

Thanks mate. We'll likely be there in late Feb (October is a non-starter), and we won't have time for a leisurely ride down to PI so I may have to fly to Melbourne for a day or two to enjoy WSBK.

BOLLOCKS!!

     Two days tops, and thats the scenic route, probably have a bike for you to ride down and back too!

Last time you where down here you never had an opportunity to ride on some of our roads, so are you going to miss out again?

  After all its about the ride not the destination.






                                      Mmick

BOLLOCKS! Last time I was down, not only did I get to ride both Bells Line and the Nasho (the latter with you), I got to putter Big's Spada arund town in me off hours. Funny...I thought it was Goldfish who lost his memory that day...the short pillion ride on the VFR too painful to recall mate?  

Really appreciate the offer of the bike mate! And I've got one for you to ride should you ever make it stateside!

That said, the wife will be with, so I'm toying with the idea of letting her fly down while I ride! But 2 days is tops. So save the white goods jokes when the Mrs is around  

BTW, no sooner do I whinge about the provisional schedule than my Google News alert pops this up:

If they're selling tix already it can't be very provisional anymore can it?

Pffft.....

You only scratched the surface, we can manage 600 kays a day easily, take you up through the Snowy Mountains and again on the way back, it will be fun, c'mon we all have a larff

Definitely keeping it in mind!

You know you want to Joe......

Shit, just did an 800km day this week, 600 no problem!

It's not the distance...it's the time. We'll likely get 12-13 total days in Aus. The wife's not going to sit pillion for 4 of those days, or tolerate being alone in a foreign land for that time

Yeah. I know, just looking for a way for you to sample some of the best roads we have.

The Mrs and I will be figuring out how we get to Phillip Island at the end of the week (I'm in DC for work), but the overall dates are booked!

Hey Joe and Anne, so looking forward to you guys coming down here in Oz.
Feels like so long ago that I was in SF for our holiday and visit with the MOB.

I'm sure there'll be time for a ride while you're here, and this one might just get completed!
You might actually get to see Mac Pass this time round.
