Bandit meet 6-8 March 2015 Parkes NSW

First topic message reminder :

Ok, here's my thoughts on a Bandit meet up for 2015.

As per the topic title, Parkes is the meeting place. The time is March 6-8 2015. The Coachman Hotel/Motel is where we have booked in to stay.
I'm thinking of a 180 odd km ride on the Saturday that encompasses Manildra, Cudal, Eugowra, Forbes & back to Parkes.
JTB has also suggested a ride out to Temora as there is a aviation show on at the Temora airfield. (I hope I got that right) Very Happy

Anyone interested in this?
Cheers, Kiwisteve

For anyone that hasn't seen this post before, I've done a heap of editing to simplify things.
C'mon folks, let's get a few more people along to this. cheers

There will be Commemorative T shirts available to order in limited numbers.

Ahhh, you can feel the excitement building. Parkes won't know what struck it ! Can someone remember a box of stickers so that we can all have name tags. I hate having to call everyone MATE. Smile

See ya all real soon. And a few of you even sooner. Wink

I've started putting real names next to user names on the shirt list as I tick off who has paid, still wont be able to match them to faces though

Excellent. I like the certainty of knowing where my first coffee will be.

Edit
Oops, apparently there has been a change of plan. Expect a communique anon.

Any more riders heading to Parkes from Newcastle way?
Looks like Recycled and I will be heading along Bylong Valley Way to Mudgee, Wellington then Parkes.
Leaving Friday morning.
Get in touch if you would like to ride with us.

Hammy Tue 10 Feb 2015, 11:21 am

Not much talk about what we want to do on the Saturday. I propose a ride out to Lake Corelligo. 194km. A rest stop at Condobolin. 101km. So roughly 4 hours riding with a couple of hours at the lake.
Just a suggestion. I'm open to any other options. I have seen the "Dish". I don't think it would have changed much. JMO.

See ya all real soon.

Ill go along with others that have a better local knowledge, I've never stopped at the dish but could do the Friday or Sunday on the way past, a group photo of everyone's bike in front of it would look good though.

Maybe something like this then? That way we're not coming back down the same route
Bandit meet 6-8 March 2015 Parkes NSW - Page 15 Parkes%20Saturday

And I'm agreeing with you about the dish, being as it is only 25k from Parkes. Its not worth tying Saturday up with a short trip like that.
That's why I suggested earlier to maybe include the dish, for those who want to, on Friday arvo.

That's fine. Still plenty of time to do that in a day. Then get back and drag JC's lifeless corpse out of the pool. The lake looks interesting on goggle maps (photo). The "Dish" visit does not take too long. As you can only view it from the outside and there is just a souviner shop with a few displays.

Damn!
I was hoping to stand and pee off the edge of the dish.

Could we drop into the Dish for a photo on the way back to the Coachman if we are travelling between Forbes and Parkes anyway?
