    Thanks for the ride everyone, had a blast, great to finally meet you QLD blokes & sink some cold ones together. The Tamworth/Newcastle crew are home without incident.

    Post up all the pics here, I'll have a few vids up later, including up Dorrigo mountain, probably the best bit of the trip I reckon!

    I just wanted to say a big thank to everyone for making it a great weekend, we managed to ride 422kms on Saturday and it was relatively trouble free except for the rain at Ballina which soaked us all. Today we did a shade under 500kms and are home and safe, although did loose Phil on the Lions road , we did a ubolt and headed back to find him parked up on the grass holding what I thought was a piece of his fairing, luckily it was just his chain guard which fell off.

    Tired, but had a great time.

    Chris

    Great Job @Kirk on the CBX250, super impressed !!!

    Got home this morning at 11....was a great weekend and so nice to catch up with friends and meet some new ones.
    Pleased to hear every one got home safely....that is the ultimate goal.
    @Kirk CBX250 did him proud, great bike and by his own admission just needs a couple of extra KW to manage the hills.
    Thanks to all who participated.....great bunch of people :thumb_ups:

    1600kms risky, that's quite an effort

    The next trip has been tentatively booked as meeting in Warwick (Qld aka Gods Country) for some track time
