My condition early today was not conducive to rational thinking and I've had a few requests to go ahead with a ride.
So it might still happen. Please keep an eye on the discussion and we'll see how it pans out.
At the moment Bathurst looks the favourite but we'll give it a while and take it from there.
Are ya there Crumpy? I might need you to do a little background work for me.

Bugso, thanks for trying. It's hard to please everyone at any time. For my part, Bathurst was an easy choice.
50 of us gathered there last April. From 3 states - one from as far away as Townsville. Simple rules -
1. Get there any way you can on 2 wheels.
2. Bring a roll of bog paper, a can of beer and half a brick.
3. Be out the front of the Royal Hotel in Sofala at 12 noon on the date advised.
4. Accommodation is your responsibilty.
So 8 of us left Yaragon the day before, our destination that evening was the Loaded Dog at Tarago ( camping out in the paddock behind the pub ). We picked up a bloke that we had never met before at Bombala, another blokes Dad in Queanbeyan and made it to the pub in time for a game of pool before dinner.
Next morning it was up early, 6ish - some didn't make it to bed till 3 - push start a bike that had no choke and was covered in frost. Have a quick brekky in Goulburn and head north to Oberon, where we picked up another 2 blokes that had come up from Wagga.
The Dirty Dozen arrived at 11.58 outside the pub in Sofala. Camp was set up in a paddock just outside of town, near a creek, enough wood was supplied for us for $100 to last all night.
So what was the bog paper and the half a brick for ?
Sunday morning saw us ride up the Mountain to McPhillimy Park to where a so-called riot happened a few Easters past. The bricks were used to build a memorial cairn, toasts to days gone by were made and the rolls were burned in effigy.
What a terrific weekend.
My other half rode home to Melbourne that day, I went to my old Motorcycle Club's 6th Birthday Bash at Mt Victoria, then spent a few days with my family in Sydney before heading home.
So Bugso, if you do get this ride up an running, give me a hoy. I'm in.
Hail Motorcycles ( esp 'Busas )

Great story Busababe.
Our runs are not quite as rustic as you may like.
I tend to go at least 3 star.
Spent my last night under stars on the mountain in 1975 I think.

Last time I slept in a tent at a rally. I never slept in a tent at a rally.
I was awake all night listening to everyone else snore.

aweeeeeeee you must go proper camping..
nice fire,great friends,rain that seeps into your tent and wets your mattress and the possums mating around the camp.the odd fox stealing your food and the cockatoos that wake you up at the crack of dawn..then you smell like smoke all day so you wear a beanie too cover up unwashed hair after three days.fingernails are broken and ragged.
so it takes you a week too pack away your gear... and swear you wont do it soon..then as soon as someone says lets go camping you go OK!!! i,m in..

I should mention that I spent 21 years in the Air Force. I know all about the thrills of camping but thanks for the reminder cheeky. I've never had to worry about unwashed hair and broken nails though. Bit of a skinhead back then.
I meant that the last time I camped on the Bathurst Mtn was in 1975.
I did have unwashed hair down the middle of my back in those days. lol.

i remember years ago when camping outside the track at bathurst for the car races.There were these dudes on bikes doing burnout in the dirt,digging trenches basically at about 3am pissed.We got up around 5.30-6 to go and get a spot at the track.As i left i found his tent he was asleep in,backed my rodeo ute up towards it.I dropped the clutch in second gear with the brake on and proceeded to turn his tent into a cave,he was probably too pissed to even wake.I felt better though.that same night i,m sure, we saw this woman hiding behind trees and arguing with her boyfriend who was still in his tent.I,ll always remember that sentence.YOU ONLY PUNCHED ME IN THE GUTS BECAUSE YOU KNEW I WAS PREGNANT.Some aussies are all class.
