Hot off the press folks.
The ACT BMW  Club has settled on a date 30 Sep - 2 Oct 23, the October long weekend for some States and ACT in Woodstock NSW.  The Royal Hotel has some accommodation with the party planned for the showground (camping and vans, toilets and showers) with other accommodation a short ride away.

Looks like the Far Cairn rally is probably the weekend before but so far I can not find any info on the BMWTCNSW website.

A birthday is an anniversary—the celebration or recognition of one, anyway. Regardless, it's a great opportunity to line up your Bricks and give them each a big kiss with a pat on the tail cowl. Just remember to include the Taxicab and the Whale in the fun so they won't become resentful. Laughing

And as Matt has suggested the Kosciuszko Rally is on the following weekend, so is there anyone who would be interested in attending both?  It just means we have to drag our backsides around that part of NSW in between both weekends.  

If it has been an exceptional year for the snow I may even be able to jag a day or two skiing at the end of the season at Perisher.  If not we could just hole up in a pub somewhere and compete with Uli in some drinking games.  Always plenty to do around Canberra if interested.

I have been toying with that and maybe a trip to the SA Riverlands and back along the Great ocean Road in the week between. Shame the Far Cairn is 2 weeks before it could have been good to get three in one go.

Thinking about it although the last weekend in September may be problematic as it is Grand Final weekend.

I've been receiving the emails from the ACT BMW club, since I registered interest in attending, and got the word recently that the club had decided to do the 40th celebration of the Mighty K that weekend. Good news for me, as I had been planning to be heading back down undah in October - retiring in 13 days, not that I'm counting - but since I've not bought my aeroplane ticket, late September is easy enough. 

I attended the "Kozzi" rally at Neehi in 2008 and won the long distance award, Queensland to the mountains. Some local challenged me 'coz I didn't have a sufficent tan, as outstanding as someone who'd have been in South East Queensland would have had when on a Spring weekend in May in the south. I didn't have the stomach to tell him I'd just come from 'Merika a week earlier, and legitimately rode my Airhead 1500+ kilometres down to there.

Who's got a K bike they're willing to share for a SE Queensland to southern NSW ride? I could ship my K40 down, but that'd be bordering on sacrilegious since it weighs about the same but makes so many more horsies...and the cylinders go in a different direction.

The K1200GT is yours for the week. The K1100 is close to ready. Pick up and delivery included.

Thanks, Rick, that's a most generous offer. I hope to be 'home' by the third week of September, & look forward to the 40th K celebration. After all, where would I be without the many fine people I've met, & the many great roads I've discovered over the years on the venerable K589!? My black & silver '96 K1100RS was born on 30th May so I hope to have it roadworthy by then. It's 3/4 done.

In 10 days, I'll ride with my brother and a friend to the Dijon Prenois circuit, for the Coupes Moto Legende event for theBMW 100 years and the K 40 years anniversary.
I'll expose 3 k: the K75GS, my K100 racer and my K1. There will be 40 K1 gathering and a parade on the track...

How time flies!

The celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the K Bike event at the Far Cairn Rally at Tottenham was my first big outing with this fine group of BMW gentlemen. As I recall our group of Forum members did quite well in the bike show that day with Smithy winning best RS and best K Bike awards and I picked up best tourer with my (now departed) K1100LT - and the life of The Banner commenced that day.

Cheers

Thanks heaps, Chaz. I am a bit reluctant to take you up on that offer simply because once you let go at the dance she's gone.

Our mutual mate Rick has offered either a K1200GT Brick or K1100RS for transport to the 40th K celebration. I'm inclined thataway. I would love to meet up with you up there in the highlands, however. You reckon you're gunna be able to roll with us to the 40th?

See ya's in late September. Meantime, I have a North American summer ahead of me and a metric sh*t tonne of free time coming available, with just one more eight hour shift left to go.

Cool

Excellent.  I am considering both the 40th and the Kozy Rally the following weekend, so it would be an excuse for a general gathering of members from all over.  As our favourite holiday home away from home on the Murray River is nearby, a night or two at Walwa may be an option.  

As Matt has expressed an interest, when compared to his poor attendance record after expressing an interest in attending, I just hope our pensions don't stop if he is allowed to take leave from work.

Whilst on the subject of cold weather riding, for those who may be interested the Border Run is on the first full weekend in August.  Never been but I need to tick it off the list.
