RDU 2015

It has been mentioned somewhere the weekend of 17 &18 October - Is this still correct?
 
As nothing developed with this, I got talked into a ride with my brother to Peterborough via Broken Hill in October. I'll have to try and catch up another time.
 
Just a thought, I meet up with my mate from Melbourne every year at Coonanbarabran when the big telescope has it's open day. It is about half way between Melbourne and Brisbane and it is handy to folks from Sydney/Canberra as well.

The Northern blokes could convene at say Coffs and do the run up to Dorrigo and on to Armidale, then meet the Port Mac, Newcastle Gosford blokes at Tamworth etc..
The Southern/Eastern blokes could meet somewhere like Wagga etc.
The die hard Crow Eaters could come in through Mildura to Wagga etc..

By convening we might be able to do some trailering for those that don't want to do long sessions (?) and break it up into shorter stints. Also to bring some gear to make it a bit more comfortable.

Once in Coonabarabran the riding is pretty nice into the Warrumbungle national park and there is the telescopes, worth a look if you have never seen them. There is a motel (about 15 minutes out of town, $118pn) with a large area, set in trees on the Castlereagh River for camping, set well away from the motel so a bit of noise (within reason) shouldn't be too problematic.

Maximum ride to get there is about 12-14 hours from either end.

Just a possibility that might suit the majority (sorry south and west aussie )

I'm not trying to push anything here, just thought it is worth thinking about for an R3 get together.

Richard and I checked out a neat place near Nabiac a few years ago. About half way also. Reality is you can't really expect an Owner to travel from WA just for a weekend .. anywhere on the East Coast.
 

G'Day Paul,

Octobers fine for me, in fact I'm okay anytime providing I'm not committed to a CBD build. We really need to sure up this event now so that I can steer my clients away from the event dates and everyone else also has the need do some forward planning.

Any venue is fine by me and Paul, you seem to have a good handle on that, do you live in Adelaide? My personal only prerequisite is that; we're able to see and sit close to the bikes, I'm happy to kip in a sleeping bag on the ground if accommodation is short.

"I'm in" but guys; lets get this event firmed up and as Paul, Mittzy, Hanso and others say.... whats happening? We need a show of hands.

From Queensland, too far for me, would be nice if I had the time. For that reason count me out. Thanks for making an effort though
 
Wots Up?

Seems like there are some guys wishing to attend however, we need more commitment to will this event along. Like anything else, especially events, it's not gonna happen by itself, it needs commitment and everyones small important contribution of energy to make the event happen.

I've asked in previous posts for an indication of people willing to attend, with the greatest respect guys ........... there was a poor response.

Any advancement fellas? Another show of willing participants and where would maybe offer some sort of indication.

Lets keep it simple to perhaps get some consensus. How about just a "YES" and even more simple name a place.
 
Sorry Mate but due to lack of interest by some and the inability of some great guys I like spending time with from QLD to make it I have decided not to bother but am planning on treking down south to catch up with a couple of the Vic boys later so maybe I can tie in catching up with you as well
 
I agree with TC looks like the event has fizzled out , maybe some one else or another state can put something together . Or maybe we do something next year . ?
