Bike is booked into D Moto for next week for its 30k service, a suspension tweak etc etc...

Thats plan 1 done.... now for the hard part of the plan - getting permission to play...
If only Vince was coming, we could use the old "Arancini Happy Meal" bribery tool...

Use it anyway and make the "old man" feel shitty about not having a rego-ed bike to come out with. But then he is only used to riding 20 mins at a time, albeit flat out. But now that the bug has passed he may be tempted into some street action again. We just have to get him to see what that thing he is waiting for will be useless, 240 section rear [roll]

It would be a waste of a service and suspension set up not to go on a road trip.

Just got back from a holiday down the Snowies â€" old stomping ground -  Tumbarumba/Tooma/Tintaldra/Cabramurra/Cooma/Bega…Sydney. No bike, all car, eerrrgghh to car travel â€" some great roads which all the way I was dreaming of cornering the bike into some of those superb alpine roads. Nonetheless a great holiday.

Now reading about this little tour Matty has collated â€" I’m keen for part of the route â€" does this bother people? Possibly to Gloucester then out to Highway along Bucketts Way for me. Bike near due for a service and I wouldn’t want to run the risk of something going CLUNK along the furthest point on the route indicated.

Matty is the post below still the fixed route:

Accommodation booked folks.

Walcha Motel night one  http://www.walchamotel.com.au/

Gloucester Roundabout Inn night two. http://www.visitnsw.com/town/Gloucester/Roundabout_Inn/info.aspx

Both close to the middle of town so no need for riding again once we arrive in the afternoons.

9am meeting for the 27th will be the usual Northern meeting point of Windsor Road at Rouse Hill Maccas/Caltex servo.
Fuel up if you want/need but we will make a splash at Colo Heights to get the 4V-ers up the Putty and into Singleton.
