Yes! I am registered for the day but searching for a ride to join.

You thinking of creating an event?

maybe a run down to the Scarborough pub for an enjoyable lunch .  
Stop in at Stanwell lookout for the obligatory photo whilst there.
Not sure of my agenda at this stage , but wouldn't mind the ride. Hopefully this monsoonal wet will clear up by then .

Scarborough sounds good with a ride over the sea bridge. Count me in. 
Currently lunching at Macca's Tamworth. Having a nice 2 day ride back to Sydney in full wet weather regalia.
Cheers

Now that sounds good! Count me in.

Now need to name the ride and register it with RideSunday. Make it a public group and anyone can join in.

I'll name the group "K100 forum Sydney ride".
I've registered now.

Great idea Richard, I'm in.

Do we need to nominate a charity? I think Rosskko's cause would be appropriate.

I've requested the ride organising group include The Lift Raft Group in the selected charities. if it can't be done in time we could make a separate donation to them.

As far as I am aware, the charitable organisation must apply to be a recipient . 
Then the riders can choose from the list of charities who they wish to direct there donations to .
The "Ride Sunday" event has been put together by the same folk who run the "DGR- Distinguished Gentlemans Ride" . 
This is the alternative for those riders/ bikes who do not fit into the DGR criteria.

sounds good to me I'm up for it!

I can't get the Ride Sunday group for the K100 forum entry to update.
I suggest meeting at Loftus Oval car park on Sunday at about 11:00, then ride down the Princes Highway to Waterfall and go down the Old Princes Highway to Helensburgh. We can detour into the Woronora Dam if anyone wants a look.
At Helensburgh go across to Stanwell Tops on Lawrence Hargreaves Drive and get a photo at the Stanwell Tops Lookout. Then down Lawrence Hargreaves Drive to the Sea Cliff Bridge and on to Scarborough Hotel for lunch.
We could go down through the Royal National Park from Loftus or Waterfall but it's very heavily trafficked and policed on weekends.

Sounds good. See you at 11:00 am at Loftus.

Its a popular ride and lunching spot, down to Scarborough and not only for bikes. I'd suggest we plan to get to the pub for an early lunch rather than later. I've experienced very long waiting times just for simple fare like fish n' chips at Scarborough Hotel.

See you at Loftus oval.

Cant make it unfortunately ... some F%^Ker knocked over the K and is still at the smash repairs - had hoped to have it back but they are still "working" on it - have a great ride!

Again, I'm not parking near you.

Would meeting at Loftus at 10 suit better?

Also can't make it.    Too far to travel from leprechaun country. (Connemara as I write.) 

Sad to hear about your K, Warren. I'll have to drop in and commiserate when I get back to Oz.

Sorry you can't make it Warren.

No worries Richard there is always next time...... and Waz yes good advice...

Bugger Warren! They've had that a while.
See you next time mate.

I think that would be a better idea... or maybe 10.30

Ok, if 10 suits everyone we'll make it then. Gives us a bit of time for photo stops and get to Scarborough for an early lunch.

Yes, suits me. No earlier than 10 though, a cold morning forecast!

Sorry, I'm out for this one . Hope you all enjoy the Ride Sunday event .

No worries Ed, catch up again when you can.

Richard.

I probably won't get to Loftus oval till closer to 10.30. sorry
I'll have a pillion with me.

That's fine, see you then.

Richard.

OK good, 10 ish at Loftus.

I think I have cracked a coil on the RS, again. Keep an eye out for a R around 10.

did you make it Waz.

Yes Ed, had a very nice ride on R. Captain will have some photos. Left a bit early could not find parking at lunch spot, nice day out.

Thanks Waz, Nigel & Debbie, and Michael for the day out.
Since the original inspiration was a fund raising ride for Ride Sunday I've made a donation to

https://liferaftgroup.org/

as a memory of RossKKo, and a nice shot of honey bourbon.

Turned out a perfect day! A bit chilly at first but a trip out to Woronora Dam and a relaxed lunch at the Scarborough Hotel thawed us out well.

Had a great day. Thanks Richard for organising and leading for the day.
Sorry to see you go at lunchtime Waz. We did find a good park across the road after a car pull out.
Lunch was great. We fluked a great table at the Scarborough out on the lawn and watched the whales frolicking on their way up the coast.
I think you'd have to agree that the female company I brought along was good value. Thanks Debbie for being a good sport and a great pillion passenger.
Thanks for the link Richard.... donation made in memory of Rosskko.

Michael, Richard, Debbie, Warren at Woronora Dam

K series life-cycle. Two Basics (Michael's, a very early production) and the evolution complete in the K1100RS

Looks like a great ride - well done!
