Qld - BIG adv bike day rides

South East Queensland
Im looking at interest from inmates out there on 1200 { big suckers} or similar adv bike. There doesnt seem to be any rides - half or one day rides for the big bikes. Judging on interest Sunday 31/7/11 could be a start then we can go from there. I did a recce ride awhile ago out around Queen Mary Falls, White Swamp Rd and Condamine River R d {lots of water crossings will assess when out there-bikes to heavy and expensive to pickup} post interest and we will see what happens
mainly bitumen road ride

There are a few of us out there who ride big bikes (R1100GS), but majority of the rides organised on here seem to be more suited for trail bikes.

Last time I organised a weekend ride for big bikes, apart from my 2 mates who helped organise the trip, I got one taker.

If people are interested, I will start to organise some tar/dirt road day and weekend trips from Brisbane (guaranteed NO single track or hard trails.)

Luckily, I don`t have to ask anyone if I can go. Depending on our route back, I should do 8000Km or more. It took a few years to set my bike up, but now it makes 1000Km days easy.
