RDU 2016

Im still getting over the lack of sleep due to your accoustic acrobatics mate. Best i did was a refuel at Grafton and made it home with reserve light on had a couple of 160 klm per hour blasts as well. Sorry to hear about your mates inlaws wishing the best outcome for them.
 

It was a great Weekend ,just listening to other Rocketeers (that's when I was not jibbering myself) a lot of people were not able to get Accommodation at or near the Pub or the adjacent Tourist Park due to late enquiries or some other reasons, it resulted in Taxi costs, leaving bikes unattended and some disjointed meet ups, my humble suggestion would be to shortly call for ideas for our next RDU (2017) venue hopefully, the 2014 RDU was held at Torquay Victoria where we stayed in some self contained Cabins all the Crew were at the same Park in close proximity and enjoyed the ability to BYO drinks at Bottlo prices ,the BBQ area and being able to get together as a group and going to the Pub and eateries together ,as well as good bike security,if we get onto it reasonably early we could hopefully do a block booking and no one should miss out with a few vacant beds for late deciders
just a suggestion ,

It flogged down and traffic at Ashgrove came to a stand still cause Energex had blocked one lane off in afternoon traffic...
We just sat there for about 40 min get pissed on...
 
Glad you guys had a good trip and it looks like most are safely on their way home or already arrived. One question...I have seen numerous comments on this thread about bike security. Is that typically a big issue down under?

Bike security (theft)is not a huge issue with Rockets, here it is more of a worry for me anyhow of vandalism from the same idiots who vandalise anything that they feel is a target ,an unattended bike at 2.0am in an empty car park would a opportunists chance, pushed over, spray painted with their Tags or just a few mirrors broken off, occasionally a whole street of cars are vandalised so a motorcycle would not be exempt from this crime, I do feel a lot more comfortable with my bike parked nearby when I am staying away from my alarmed locked garage
 
Had a great weekend and catchup with some old faces and got to meet a few new captains and some of their better halves.
Enjoyed the ride down with @Mittzy @Wrecka @Pete with Mrs Pete and Mrs Ozrider.

Mrs Ozrider having her first trip on her Tiger 1050 and I headed south after we saw a fewof the others off from South West Rocks and did the Oxley Highway ride, alot of bikes heading south on the way to Phillip Island... some think they are already on a race track.
Then back down the Oxley to Port Macquarie for the night.

Next day poured with rain and blew like mad for 200K's heading into Sydney and cleared to blue skys 80Ks from arrival.
We are going to head up the Putty Road, Thunderbolts way, drop down onto waterfalls way, Nymboida Grafton and then via Kyolge to be home by the weekend.

Meeting up with @Mittzy @Pete and Mrs Pete (Lisa)
