It's Time for a Roundup!
- Thread starter Lynne "the Pillion"
- Start date
I'll be the first to post a SPOT link.
I'll be revisiting my birthplace and the little town we lived in at the time, then coming back home to pick up the #1 pillion before heading down to The Muster, with planned ETA of 11:00. Planned ETD 15:00 Friday.

Approximately 30 like mind riders attended the; ‘Return to V Wall‘ Nambucca 2022’.
Majestic weather was shared at the tavern. Many riders experienced opportunities in problem solving enroute including: heavy rain, flooded roads, planned routes impassable, fog, punctures, and collapsed batteries however shared many a story over lunch.
That evening approximately 24 riders had a banquette at the Chinese adjacent to the Ocean View Motel where many stayed.
Stories continued late into the evening as did the reminiscing and drinking.
It was a fantastic time shared by all, hopefully the unwell riders that were unable to attend, will be available next year.
An overview of discussions will be tabled a little later when when we recover.
A few photos sharing the meet.

Thanks to all the organizers, what a great event!
Rebecca and I had a great time, catching up with our fellow riders. All up we did a tad under 1,600kms for the 2 days, which gave us the opportunity to test our setup on the RT.
Arrived back home in Canberra to single digit temps and rain.
Hope to see everyone at Nettallie Hill.

Thanks TJ et al. a bloody top job herding all the cats into some semblance of a single direction. You even got almost everyone to stop talking at the same time while a few words were being said, No easy feat!
Fantastic to see so many faces I haven't seen for several years, worth the price of admission alone!
Looking forward to the next rte/gtr.

Yes indeed, a worthy fifth Muster.
We've now done NSW twice. Must be Victoria or SA's turn next year. I like the idea of different towns every time rather than settling on Nambucca as suggested at one stage.
We're overnighting Coffs hoping for a new hoop in the morning to complete the saga. There's material for an SS1600 ride report in there.

Maybe next year it might work for you Grizz.

Only one 24hr fuel in mt isa ..the truck stop in the industrial area.
almost rode through an active shooter emergency in the isa mall .
no 24hr fuel in Cloncurry so no docs for there but 24hr fuel in McKinley .
Good coffee at the bakery in winton .
and rode on to Longreach. Next day on to Mitchell next day to Brisbane.
Ride back was wet and cold
Brisbane has half the worlds speed cameras it seems like .
An adventure
As those before me have said. Great turn up from a lot of old friends. After a start docket a couple of minutes prior to midnight Thursday I arrived at Urunga about 7.15 pm. Roughly 1700 kms. for the day. Up early [4 am] Sunday morning, sorry Kimmie for my slow getting ready. Finally rolled away from the hotel couple of minutes prior to 5 am. Down to Sydney [loved the new tunnels both ways], Goulburn, Canberra, Cann River and home at 7.15 pm. [1,350 kms.] in time for Elwyn's "world famous beef vegetable soup.
This morning off to Fawkner Crem. for old mate Graeme Danby's funeral. More tears will probably flow.
Thanks to those that organised Urunga/Nambucca Heads get together.
