Anyone feel like a late night ride in Brisbane next week?
- Thread starter sixty6north
- Start date
I wont be in Brisbane but all the best for your ride Rob. 
Here is a Spotwalla link - goes live at midnight Wednesday 24th, starting from Byron Bay http://bit.ly/2pFGHSl
Rob, I was hoping to ride to Byron Bay on 25 May to farewell Frans and Brian on their cross country adventure. Not sure what time they are leaving. Hence, not sure if the timing with Brisbane would work? Or, I could just come to the Story Bridge at 01:40 and ride home via Moree ......
I will be departing Sydney about 0400 Wednesday 24th to go to Byron Bay for dinner and a few hours sleep before I depart. I thought that Frans was heading north about the same time, but maybe he has put it back a day.

Rob will be starting with us last time we spoke
Ahhhhhhhh..... the plot clarifies ....... I can kill the multiple proverbial birds with one stone if I plan it right.
I'm thinking leaving Newcastle in the pm on Wednesday, ride through to Byron in time to sign forms and say farewell, then perhaps follow you lads through to Moree (if that's OK with you). There I'll head down through Narrabri, Gunnedah and back to home. That's around 1700k for me if I can knock that off in the 24 hrs.
Only catch is the in-laws. My dear wife has told them I'm riding up that way (Broadwater NSW) and they are insisting I call in for a visit (dinner and overnight stay). That is yet to be resolved.
As for your "date" with Rob ...... what happens on IBA rides stays on IBA rides I for one won't say a word to your respective partners

You will have to follow and ride with Rob (and take over my date responsibilities I assume)
Our paths will go different ways as soon as we hit the Pacific Highway outside of Byron Bay. Rob will head north and Brain and me will head south and west to Lismore and then Tenterfield down the New England to Tamworth, Gunnedah making our way towards Gilgandra and Broken Hill.
I do not know where we would catch up again, or if we would at all until we are over in the West. I plan to sleep at Port Augusta and Norseman, but I think Rob wants to go a bit further than PA since he is on a 50CC
We'll see how it goes

If all goes according to plan I will be linking up with Frans on 24th about 06:30 at the twin servos on the M1 near Wyong and we will run up to Byron together for dinner and a sleep. I will be getting away about midnight - I think Frans and Brian are leaving about 01:00 - depending on how things go, we might cross paths somewhere west of Cobar on the first day. I will just have 3 fuel stops before I get to Port Augusta - I will make a call about sleeping there, or keeping moving at the time.
Physio has prescribed portland cement sprinkled on my weetbix every morning so that I harden TF up .
My back is still giving me trouble at the moment, but is gradually improving with intensive physio - I am hoping that it will be good enough by next week - if I break down half way round . . . well thats just the luck of the draw (I just hope they don't put a screen up around me and put me down if I do).
