Ninja Gully should be fine and warm.

Warm as TOAST! ( Well for us Guyra folk anyway)
As said....leaving Guyra on Friday at 8am.

Weather is looking better by the hour

I will be leaving tomorrow sometime, I'm not sure when and not sure what way I will go, gunna wing it without a time table or plan. I may see some of you in Guyra and I may not, If I don't see you at 8am in Guyra don't wait for me I will see you in Ninja gully when I get in, maybe Friday maybe Saturday.


I am going to go when I'm ready and stop when I want. Going to pretend I don't have a care in the world and try to enjoy every minute. My version of going on walkabout with a 6 day time limit.


Really looking forward to it.

See ya when I see ya in Ninja Gully.

Don't forget to wear your best balaclava.

Have fun guys.

I have the same idea as Waz, leaving thurs at sum o'clock, take in a few backroads, sort of zig zag my way across from the coast out thru Yowie country and arrive at Ninja gully Fri-sat, Enjoying the freedom along the way, time for a Kruise, enjoy the ride everyone who is coming, see youse there.

Leaving Ipswich Friday sometime morning on the K1100RS. Plan to arrive at Nindigully late afternoon.

Andrew

Hi all Nindigully adventurers. Just about to launch out of the Hunter Valley for Guyra for an overnight with Smithy prior to heading for Nindigully tomorrow morning. Might see you somewhere on the road Waz, I'm going up via Thunderbolts Way.

Bike packed with a bag of parts destined for some of the northern brethren.

I left home 8.30 this morning and broke down 4klms from home, my wife got my old fuel pump of the shelf and I fitted on the side of the road just back home again. Lost faith in it now and going to give it the once over twice before leaving again.

Aaaaargggggh! Hope all goes well with it mate.

Shall be leaving around 10 am tomorrow Maccas Goondwindi Lunch and Nindigully around 3ish.

For anybody going from Gundy to Nindigully there is fuel at Talwood but only 91 and no fuel at Nindigully, St George is 40km and has fuel but not sure if there is 98.

I want to be with the ninjas in the gully     :pale:                 

Go nabbe a kwite won this weegend.

ditto  rossko ...

sad I couldn't get there in time,  should be finished work soon

well had to turn back at dalby, bike is running best it has ever, its me who needs the mechanic, not good when the. only way to dismount is to fall off.

Gary, what is going on?
Not self inflicted I hope.

crikey gary  more than half way there

good luck !

wonder how  "the mob" is travelling ...must be a few in close range of the local pub by now ...I guess internet is ...erm restricted out there

good traveling guys ...wish I could make it
have one for me  eh ?!!

doesn't sound good Gary, are self and mount OK, guessing your pack got in the way, easy to do,  I'm sure you'll keep us informed , take it easy.
where as for the rest of the so called Ninjas, have a top weekend and enjoy yourselves.

Sorry to hear that Gary, we were wondering what happened to you.
Well just got home from Nindi/ Wellscrossing Ashford. had a top weekend and catch up with forum members. Got to see places I hadn't been before, also got to see some wildlife, but not as close up as some, Hmmm Sean and Andrew. More reports will come, just a few pics for now.

Some Ks at Nindigully pub


A view of the campsite at Nindi

Waz & Johnathon's red rt's and Kate's  sweet little Guzzi

Saturday night campsite at Wells Crossing Ashford NSW

We had a bit of a strange time we set off to go up to Roma to see friends from our caravan days and in St George we decided to ring just to be sure they would be home and no answer on the home phone but being a farm rang the mobile and they were in Warwick and about to ring us in Stanthorpe to visit when passing through so missed them again.
I think a bit more than a casual approach to a visit is required there.
So we came home along the Moonie highway. Of the 303 km from St George to Dalby all of which is fairly good road except for about 40km before Moonie crossroads and oh boy I ended up slowing to about 70km to get a ride without getting my body destroyed. I would say it was the worst bit of sealed road I have ever travelled on.
My back where I had the surgery was good so I reckon I am over that and it's good to have behind me.
A great weekend.

I'm having trouble loading pics here so will try tomorrow again.

Schoorn.

Wow what a weekend, didn't let go of handle bars long enough to get many photos. Every time I got off and filled up I just wanted to get back on and go again. Too much to see and never enough time.

Out back bush art at Lightning ridge. No way to treat a VW.

Road train around Qld boarder somewhere.
K
Made many great memories and have the pictures in my head.
Highlight of the Ninjagully trip for me was Wells crossing camping by the river.
Thanks to everyone I met and rode with, looking forward to the next one.

Well done Waz, glad to see you home safe.
Now lets talk about that sidecar outfit I read about.

Thanks RT, I think you have given me K pox, the RS only needs a weekend to finish so the side car is the next project and should keep me out of trouble untill I try and ride it.

adventure had by all , it seems. hope you all made it home safe following an adventurous weekend. was it only the pride that was dented Gaz? 
well done Sean , good to see you getting a few of the Krew out .

I think I was getting close to having another lower shockie stud break. It has about a 3-4mm bend when I get it out I will post a pic. seems a new stud every so often isn't good enough as it is only 8000km old and about 12 months since the last one.

onya waz ...for getting out there and doing a little exploring

cheers guys

Thanks Charlie, I followed Gaz through some very nice palces after we left Wells crossing heading south. I have not seen that area before, Scone area is very nice. I see why the Hunter lads live there.

Well the long awaited Nindigully Run has been run and done (at least for 2014) and I'm sure all who participated had as good a time as I did. As always, great company and on this trip good scenery and a very wide variety of roads.
I enjoyed the hospitality of the Smithy family up near Guyra on Thursday night after a bone jarring ride up Thunderbolts Way. This was once a sought after ride for many motorcyclists but I wouldn't recommend it any more as the road condition has deteriorated severely along much of the route. As the K75 was only on its second highway outing after the previous weekend run down to RT's place since getting registered I suppose I can class it as a suspension and tyre test. Smithy turned on a nice cold morning on Friday for someone from the lowlands of the Hunter. Check out the frost in his paddock.



On cue we met Sean and Bella in town in Guyra and pushed off through Tingha to Moree where Sean had arranged to meet Johnathon and Kate who has a very sweet little V50 Guzzi. Then up to Mungindi on the Queensland border with a bit of road train action on the way.

Up the road a bit Kate who was leading at the time spied some old ruins off the side of the road that looked interesting so she pulled over and as I stopped back a bit from her I thought I might as well see how the K75 handled horizontal parking with the old trip on the edge of the road trick (lucky there were some "friends" close at hand to record the event). Glad to advise that a naked K75 can be laid on its side without suffering any damage.


The gathering after bike and I were upright again.

I thought that was enough fun for the day but Sean was determined to raise my heart rate (although I'm sure his was even higher) by throwing out his left arm to warn of a bunch of kangaroos and then holding the outfit dead straight while mowing down the second one right in front of me. This roo family were a bunch of real gamblers as the smallest member decided to try its luck getting across my bows, but he was too fast for me and I missed him. Sadly the roo had no chance against the sidecar.


Bella keeping an eye on the casualty.

We rolled into Nindigully Pub all intact and in my case 850 km from home. Rick and Marg were there to welcome us so after setting up we adjourned to the pub to discuss where the other expected arrivals might be. Waz rolled in just before dark and Andrew turned up a bit later.


Great camping location - even the mosquitos liked it.

After an interesting and enjoyable evening at the pub our travelling troop decided more riding was in order so we set off to Goodiwindi and then on down to Ashford, back in New South Wales. Sean sussed out the locals for the best camp spot while he was getting fuel - so it was off the few kilometres to Wells Crossing.

A good night was had around the campfire with Sean, Smithy and Waz with Bella keeping an eye out for any other dangerous animals that might be lurking.



Sunday was home time so once packed we rode down to Inverell where Smithy and Sean departed for Guyra and Waz kept me company down through Bingara, Manila, Tamworth into the Hunter Valley. The storms that were lurking all day finally caught up with Waz and I just north of Scone (we got hammered by that one) and again as we approached Singleton.

The K75 came through without any drama and the Pirelli Scorpion tyres were surefooted in both wet and dry. In all a great weekend and 1680 km under the wheels.

Cheers

nice trip gaz

thanks for the images and report

maybe next one for me ?

" Just having a quick lie down"

Some more photos from the gully of the ninjas.

And a few more....

Andrew , that screen is massive on the RS, how do you find it , looks like it keeps you protected quite well.
Good to see Smithy sporting the Aussie Akhubra on the weekend.
 did you throw a line in at all Sean, no sign of any gear there.

some great additional pics sean ...thanks

and whats wrong with slutty ?

just saying ......giggle

Nothing Charlie....nothing at all...:-)

Ed I didn't wet a line...though I think the spot we camped at at Ashford is well worth investigating.

yep I agree sean ...might take a trip out there ...just to check it out   (been more than half way there from Inverell )

WTF Seanii, while I got trapped talking shit with a drunk, you've slipped out and found the local talent, no wonder rossko wanted to come, nothing wrong with that slutty little Ninja.

No dear, just at the pub with the boys, no Ninjas here.


Camp sight at Ashford

Ok, we should hatch a plan for another overnight at Ashford. This time bring more beer , the misses and a fishing rod.

Sounds like a plan!
The Ashford thing....not the strumpet Ninja thing...I'm a catholic
And I'd have to feel guilty.
