Anyone thinking of going ? 

Might be a good test run for me

I'm in, I was thinking about going up Friday late afternoon and camping overnight. By doing that I'd have first dibs on the plethora of K parts that normally abound. I'm pretty sure Mick will be in attendance as long as there are no dirt roads involved.
Regards Martin.

I'm out.  Too many commitments on that day and a major family one will take preference.  

Sorry about that.  Just keep an eye out for those 75S fairings please Martin.

I am in. Don't know if I will be able to get away on Friday arvo, more likely a Sat day trip for me. Will see closer to the date workwise.

Cheers Mick

Yes Saturday for me as well 

Just want the ride

ARRRHHH Dave I've got a mate with a ute going up to bring all the booty back.
Regards Martin.

Sounds like it’s worth a look, is there def always K stuff there? 

Extended ride sounds good too, tentative yes for me, or maybe via ute:oops:

Regards

Dan

Standard I think Charlie is the only one to score any K parts. Last year I think there was a set of panniers a single seat and  a "Y" type front brake pipe. With most of the swap meets I've attended there is never if any K bits.
It's more of a hope to find a goldmine and a social event.  
Regards Martin.

Bloody stirrers, got me all excited there lol 

I scored a nice steak sandwich plus a headlight and set of side covers at the Lowood meeting that Charlie organised a couple of years ago.

Oh well, a steak sandwich is a decent score...

So we have a count of 4 bikes at the moment heading up Saturday morning 

Anyone else want to come ?

Meeting up at the BP service station northbound between North Lakes and Caboolture there are two one north and one south opposite each other. We will be  leaving at 0600 for a 0700 arrival at the swap meet. All are welcome.
Regards Martin.

So still only the four of us  ?

General reminder for all those with bad memories. Weather cloudy with a slight chance of a shower, if you trust the BOM. or . Meet up time and location as per previous post. Matt you never know who will show. 
Regards Martin.

I’ll be there but not via bike - having a weekender with the bride up the coast, I’ll be (oh the horror ) driving into the meet

Regards

Dan

Dan you need to take the bike and get the bride to meet you up the coast. That way you can spend more time at the swap meet.
Regards Martin.

Ah! You are a true thinker......devious plan

Wimped out of the Maleny meet, anyone pick up anything good? Overall review? 

Regards

Dan

Mick made the biggest score two tank badges the ones off the car wheels. There was a K75 naked $3500,00 no reg not going reasonable condition. A set of OEM pannier liners with a OEM tank bag $60.00 VGC, an aftermarket nitrogen filled shock in need of a rebuild $100.00. No burgers, bacon and egg rolls or steak sandwiches they had run out by 0900. 

We went to Maleny for a feed at a bakery where we were treated to one of the worst pies we've ever had. It does defy description but I'll try. A nice pastry shell filled with gravy/gruel mix and maybe four small chunks of meat, this had been heated to mouth blistering temperature. I ate the shell after a few attempts at the filling.
Regards Martin.

Geez.....sounds like a pretty average outing. Still, any time on the bike is good time....

What counts is the company, which was great. The ride home was interesting when we got to the highway, I'll let one of the others fill in the details.
Regards Martin.
