just thought to throw this out there ...
for one reason or another many of us get together every now and then....which is great !!!
but many of the members around here either, arent in the loop , have work commitments or what ever.
lately every weekend or every second weekend, i find myself on the road for a breath of fresh air ...a look up a road i havent travelled lately ....on the way to see a friend or just a loop out of the city .
i thought it was about time to post local rides that we may have thought about ...maybe late friday night , saturday , for suday morning or whatever .
now im not suggesting that this should be a meetup thread ....but for those of us who find they are getting out and not sure where to go , it might be good info for location ie: ...what and where you have thought about ...what time you are likely to hit a marker (town , turnoff , maccas ) suggested trip destination and return route ...that kinda thing ...
for example ,
2 weeks ago i headed south to woodenbong via beaudesert ....over to legume ....kilarney...and back via queen mary falls to boonah.. beaudesert and then home .i typically fill up at the bp at browns plains 8.15 ish ...whilst there i was joined by the honda riders (all of 750 4 s and others 900 f etc ) in a period of about 10-15 minutes 30 odd bikes fronted ...and after another 15 were gone for a ride .
last weekend i headed south along the coast ....only to find out alby was on the northside around redcliff area etc ....i could have headed north and bumped into him ...?
so maybe you have a favorite fill up joint on the south side ...north side... south west side ...whatever and a favourite departure time ?
the bp on the highway at yatla is one good example
the bp just south of browns plains on the beaudeasert road is another
the bp service centre just south of caboolture on the highway is another
i just raise this as it could work out convienently for some of us ...who cant get to the mark in time or just hadnt planned anything .
funny enough twb, blakey , and myself had a mini meetup at the bmw dealership at daisy hill this morning, quite unplanned and all, but was good ....these oportunities dont arise very often .
"bean old boy" has asked if there was planned ride recently...and i could have posted here this morning when i found out i was heading over to daisy hill ...or like tommorrow .. thinking of a run up to nebo- glorious not a big one ...but would be great to bump into someone
twb is out of the loop for tommorrow ...family stuff ...so didnt mention it
so what do you think guys ...? care to post ?
