Ok - It looks like we might be making another attempt this Sunday. Weather out of Sydney isn't looking the greatest so the pin might get pulled. Riding group has grown from 3 to 7 (don't ask... you would think there is a limited number of people such craziness would appeal to). Route is still effectively the same but with two additional intermediate stops for a couple of the riders (Rebel CMX500 and BMW S1000R) who are marginal on making 260km+ to the tank) - the 2nd stop of which would likely have been required to do a quick clothing change (again, due to weather/temperatures). Time will tell....
For those interested, the bikes will be: HD Street 500 (a possible first for IBA from what I can see from the two lists), Honda Rebel 500 (CMX500), Triumph Rocket 3 Tourer, BMW S1000R, Honda CB400Super4 (one of the sweetest sounding bikes I've ever heard), Yamaha Niken & HD Sportster - a true motley crew.
