Hi all, Forgive me if this already exists (I can't find it) but I though it would be great to have one dedicated thread wheres guys from Melbourne and surrounds can put up day trips, group rides, friends wanted ads etc etc. You get the idea. Brody
G'day Brodie, Good to see another ADVer in the inner North... I'm up in Thornbury. I'm always keen for a ride so I'll keep an eye on this thread.
I'lll try Precis. Can't promise anything. I'm on a DR too, try to get out on Saturdays when the weather is nice (girlfriend works Saturdays ) to Melbourne surrounds (Kinglake, Cathedral Range, Lerderderg etc etc). Nothin too extreme, just dirt roads, 4x4 tracks.. Will post when I'm heading out next. Brody
I'm from Mitcham, but my girl lives in Preston. I'm keen too. Maybe we could organize a meet and greet at a pub. I like the Pinnacle in nth fitzy. I'm on a DR650 in desperate need of some love.
Look, when a wog bike "fails to proceed" you know you'll always have a decent glass of wino, or maybe a good espresso on a cold morning. When a Jap bike breaks down, what have you got? Luke-warm sake drunk from a square wooden box, most likely. The best the Brits can do is a glass of warm flat beer or a cup of Earl Grey with 4 sugars & too much milk; the box-heads aren't much better - but then again, you'll be close enough to civilisation to take the tram home. At least the Austrians will have a decent schnapps...
WTF... thats just so simple.... it might just work... Im up for a ride whenever, wog bikes optional (insert definition of a wog bike here)... so long as the DR boys happy to have a fat f800gs tag along. Im north north Melbourne . Will keep my ears open for upcoming rides . Have family down on 6th October otherwise i'd be going....
I like my sake... going with the precies flow, german bike = frankfurters+Barrels of cold beer. Austrians i know what you get. but i aint telling
I would be keen , sounds good , work permitting . And if you guys are ever keen to come down a little south west way i could show you how to get lost in the otways ?
i think squizzy has talked me into going to....early morning i think!...on hattah79 ride next week,,weather permitting...
I get out occasionally , located in Doncaster East , I leave from the River View Cafe in Warrandyte head out via YarraGlen through to Toolangi , buxton etc .
