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)   

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

Helen & I have only got a double & a single for Zoe
I have a feeling I'm going to be a little cramped. How tall are you Suzy?

Well the pre-sale house prep is moving along and we've been able to bring the photographing forward to 1.00pm this Friday.  I'm hoping that will allow me to travel up Fri night and get in before dark.  So I may miss some festivities but I'm hoping now to be there both Fri and Sat nights.  Fingers crossed.

I'm 5'10"...I like my bed a bit longer, so my feet aren't hanging off the end lol
As long as it's a comfy bed, it will have to do

Just sleep diagonally like most women do.

I didn't get a call from Coachman either, will follow up tomorrow.

Also, no rain on BOM weather / wave mapping .. don't know where that other info came from

See you Friday mate, ride safe.

Bikes had a quick clean and wax this morning, bags are 99% packed and by this time tomorrow Rayman06, Dancing Pillion and myself should be out of SA and heading across the top corner of VIC a couple of hours away from meeting up with SuzySuzuki just before the NSW border. 
I'll see a more few of you in Hay tomorrow afternoon, the rest in Parkes Friday,  safe travels everyone...........................

Not to forget the 12 pages for the t shirt making a total of 50 for the trip

Well bike finally packed, we head off in a couple of hours for the first leg across the pond, then onto the trip proper (and hopefully not getting our bums wet going through Vic).

Wonder how we'll go filtering through Melb traffic tomorrow morning

Have a safe trip everyone, see yuo soon.



BTW, the trailer is empty, it's only going as far as Melb, got to do some Aldi shopping before I come home   .

That outfit looks awesome Barry - filtering no problem, just get your dog slobbering and the cars will part!

I'm still at work, head down tail up, but ready to roll (almost). Off early with Chook and the Dancer tomorrow, LOVE being on the road .

Safe travels everyone. See you soon.

I feel a bit small and inferior next to you Barry 

Nearly all packed, just waiting for Dancing Pillion to get home from school and finish filling up her pannier

I love that trailer Barry...
Im  procrastinating about washing Suzy, im procrastinating about repacking my luggage (think im gonna have to toss some stuff out)
and I know im gonna miss my cat ... lol..oh and husband too!

Just to let everyone know, we have got stickers & a texta for name tags
