SBA 1ST BIRTHDAY RIDE!!! - 29/08/10

Date: 29/08/10
MEET: Meet at pits for a coffee at around 1000
ROUTE: We will be heading along OPH to Gosford. From there along the coast to the entrance for lunch.

Not sure exactly the route from gosford or where to go for lunch, but somthing will be worked out. If you have suggestions, let me know.
Hope some people can make it, but its open to anybody to come along if you have mates that are interested.

Interested:
Cam
Pete
Potato
Baz
Matt

yay.....either of those is good

I prefer the 29th as I hope to be on the south coast (or returning to sydney from those parts on or about the 15th)

29th it is then.

Bump?

ill be there

ill to my best to get matt to come along as well.
Looking forward to it. Havnt been doing many kays lately.

OK, looks like I'm right for next Sunday's ride, I was thinking of bringing Narelle on pillion, PITS at 0900 might be a bit far/early for us.

I have included a route to the Beachcomber Hotel at Toukley. This would also cover The Entrance, if you would prefer. It's only 1.5 hours from PITS so you could end up there too early, there are options depending if you want more riding, unfortunately, to get to The Entrance, there's a fair bit of built-up 50/60 kph type of stuff.

Possible route from PITS to Beachcomber

There are other options eg Swansea RSL, If you could let me know roughly a time table for the day, how many stops, if you just really wanted to visit The Entrance etc we have 6 days to work something out that will satisfy most.

About how long do you anticipate the stop at PITS would be Cameron?

make it 9.30 at pits maybe or something. i need to get the helmet off my bike otherwise i cant go by the way - will let u know

meeting time doesnt worry me. We can meet at 0930 or even 1000 if you want. Because its not a long ride we can afford to take our time.
Im not fussed. Im about an hour from PITS anyway, so a later leave is fine with me.

How about 1000 then for coffee and then we can work out where lunch will be, fingers crossed for good weather.

Ok 1000 it is. I wasnt sure how long it was to the rough lunch spot. Lucky your here aye?
Ill update the top post now.
I reckon we might have 5 bandits for this one. Good turn out i reckon

seat fixed so its all go @ 10.00am [- thats a co-incidence - maccas at mcgraths hill is an hour from me]

just wait till you see my hugger.........

I think I'll be able to make it and the weather is looking good for Sunday.

I'll bring the carbtune

if i just counted correctly, that would be 5...new record for a ride?
Ill pull some strings and see if i can get #6

Jezz i thought after 1yr and 110 members we could get more than 5 going on this ride , i will try and make it and might be able to bring another 2 or 3 non Bandit riders along , i will check posts on Sat afternoon incase of any change..

Took the Bandit for a shake down run today (out to Quorrobolong) all going good, will have to investigate what cams the old motor has in it, I'm sure it was angrier,especially above 9000 rpm, this one is more rideable though, and smooth thanks in part to the new chain and sprockets, the old one seemed to have more engine braking too (perhaps that was just friction). Anyway I digress, I'm all ready for tomorrow, if it's wet Narelle won't come, if its very wet I won't come, so fingers crossed for great weather and a big turn-up.

Weather looks real good.
Im meeting Jason (vmax-bandit) at Panthers Maccas on Molgoa road at 9. But i dont think there are any other banditos out this way is there?
My bro is definately coming to.
Cyas all in the morning.

Just got back from SBA 1st anniversary ride, 224.9 km a great day thanks to all who came.

Especially Cameron who showed up ,punctually, only an hour late.

Here are the pics you've all been waiting for:

Meeting at P.I.T.S.


We finally saw the "Famous Hugger"

Lunch, Al Fresco. At The Entrance Hotel


Our scenic location

yeah, a good day was had.
I saw Cam take the expressway at Gosford, I took OPH.

it was a nice day all round - and a nice shot of the famous hugger too - where were all the rest of the bandit enthusiasts is what i want to know??!!

Glad you had a good ride and good weather.

I wasn't there for 2 reasons. It's a bit far to go for a day ride (yeah I know I'm a soft cock) and we had our clubs AGM on Saturday night so Sunday morning was spent a. recovering and b. trying to work out why the hell I said yes to being Vice-President. It's alright though because Mrs b12mick is now the secretary. I think I got the easy job, providing the President does his job.

Cheers all for a great day yesturday.
I do appologise for being a little late.
Was a great day though. Ill post some pics up soon.
Missed the wisemans exit so i had to detour back and caught up with mate for a good ride to wisemans and home.
Did about 320km all up. Great spot for lunch.

Good to see a few turned up for the celebrations. Unfortunatley i couldnt make it as i was a bit further north on the weekend.
