IBA Australia Inaugural Muster
- Thread starter tj189
- Start date
Much the same route as me , but starting from home in Newcastle, I'm heading north as a first stage to add the extra k's. basic plan is leave Newie after lunch (13:00\14:00) hopefully ahead of the holiday traffic and follow the Pacific Highway until Macksville for a turnaround docket. Then back through Heatherbrae, down the M1 onto the Hume and then via Wagga, Narrandera, West Wyalong and into Parkes. Intent was to run the main highways overnight then swing inland as the sun comes along. Once I head south I hope the traffic issues lessen. Surely people aren't silly enough to head south in this weather !! 
Low profile lasts longer. Is it so damn important to tell everyone whats going on? No...its nothing to do with every tom dick and harriet till its turns up on FB or Twiter etc. Then its suddenly made their business.
Cant wait till Mondays news of a cannonball run in parts of NSW.
You tweet you talk to the world. "Some people use these mediums successfully to talk to other like/OR not so alike minded people." Yep that's called talking to people you know maybe...not everyone else you dont know
Or you use your phone and ring your wife or a mate along the way.
John there is no big need to tell everyone mate.
I'll buy you a beer if your upset by my post and I'll buy you a beer anyway John.

Banner Shot seems very in theme round here. Snow and sleet all day here.
If your plan includes sections of the New England north of Armidale and south of Glen Inness in the dark house Friday be aware Black ice has been a feature of the road surface for the last 4 days and expected to be an issue over the next week.
Sand Ladders???? or IceWaivers.
A joke about mindset is all.
Tis cold and snowing here anyway.

We are promoters of safe long distance riding and excessive speed should never be a part of our calculations. However, try explaining what we do to a truckie or worse, the owner of a transport company.
Fatigue management is something that is voluntary to us but mandatory/legislated to them.
That being said, I know my brother in law, who is a senior sergeant in TOG, does not troll twitter looking for people who are planning to travel long distances in 24 hours. Advertised illegal drag/drift meetings are another thing.

The Medical gods have conspired against me, unfortunately I am now an 11th hour withdrawal.
My Mum was rushed to hospital yesterday, and as I write this she is having the second last test before they decide which operation they are going to do on her heart. ( a phone call is next to the medical board regarding her previous pill pusher of a doctor )
Hopefully know more tomorrow ( after the final test ), too late for me to leave on the ride over.
P.S. Daisy, you are now safe, me and my camera will still be here in Perth, W.A.
Also if anyone is still looking for accomodation, the Henry Parkes now have 2 rooms available.

Mate just watch yourself with the cold and being more exposed on the semi naked bike. Tis such a shock to go from a hot machine to a good breather in the wintr months.
TDM which has about as much cover as the strom... I used to keep the legs shorter and make every hot spot a winner.
ST in these sort of conditions here today and on through this week? well its going to be cruel for all of us in those first few hours Friday.
Snowed again out here this-morning. Weaners are mosters of the hey and line the fences as Im chugging up the paddocks.
Friday is going the be a job for a few hours Streak. Just play your own game man. See you down there.
