I was trying to drum up some interest and maybe get something going but it appears that we of the forum are "it" and Bathurst is the place in the first week in September.
I sent emails to many BMW clubs and talked to others and got zip in reply.
Last year the GS has a 30th so why not the brick.

time to get a burst together and send to all shitty little news outlets.....perhaps a bank robbery entirely on K100's like the "Italian job" would stimulate some interest....the cloud of smoke to follow may be a hindrance though...we could call it the German Job...."Is that the pope chimney?, nope escaping K100's"

dear friends, here we are organizing a meeting in Rome to celebrate this engine. there is already a post dedicated to "European rides and meet" or on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/138821192971934/.mark it in your calendar! ciao

looks like we have decided that the bmwtcnsw rally at "far cairn" would be a worthwile event for all

IMHO, we should get around to printing out some of those oft discussed visiting cards and leave them on K bikes we see around the joint so we can invite people to our rides or to Totenham. There are a surprising amount of these beasts still on the road and I see them regularly in my travels.

I am liking Auntie BBs suggestion of Carcoar. Not far from Bathurst. Can head to Mt Panorama on sat morn for a photo session before en masse to the camp site to make a grand entrance.

And Al has seconded the motion.
Google tells me 357km Carcoar - Bathurst - Tottenham

I can save you from the tent if it's a problem.
There's a couple of building we have access to. If you're happier rolling out your sleeping gear inside a building, you can do that. There's a kitchen up the at the entry end that people use for tea/coffee, fridges etc, but its a pretty big hall, plenty space up the back and the late nighters don't seem to congregate there.

The rally site has:
-Lots of grassy camping, some shaded.
-Big communal building as described.
-Bar area(we're not using it as a bar, the rally is BYO) gets used at night for videos and the main get together area (its lit and has seating, partially undercover). I'm expecting the K display will be in this area late afternoon.
-Lions club catering
-Communal rally fire out on the dirt area away from the camping (so those that want bed early don't have too much noise).
-Toilets and hot showers.

hi all K - iwi mates, preping the K100 Rt for the 3000km round trip to The Burt Munro Challenge next week 27Nov - 2nd Dec, Invercargil,  NZ, deep south for us. The Rts purring with new 3 new spark plugs, no1 wouldn't fit the socket, plug  looks skewed, screwed, crossed, so left it till I get back. bugger, she'll be right. Heaps of bikes going past my place heading south. ferry Bookings tight, due to a ferry being out of order, yes the railways - NZ Snailways ferry Kaitaki lost a prop in cook Strait / Raukawa Moana a couple weeks back, no more bookings. Can try the oppositon Bluebridge if stuck. bugger the strait / ditch we call it. anyways any others heading down let me know cu you there, a gaggle of Ks camped in the field would be a nice site, yarn ect, someone may have a plug tap and thin walled 18mm socket to extract no 1??? I'll bring my new number one.
