Hi Shane

I am unable to attend this year, so everyone should have plenty of sleep, unless they can find another spuiker that won't go to bed. I nearly had that talk down pat as well Might have to trot it out at Ripley

I think in June I will be somewhere in the UK general area, getting ready to push north and east

Maybe I can send a Vmail?

Good luck with the show, I am sure it will be as successful as last years was. It is a great location.

Cheers
TravellingStrom

Richard, you will be missed, but yes I'm sure you will have a blast at Ripley and the UK/Euro guys will be keen to hear you. Send a vmail when you are ready. Regards, Shane

Hank - got you down for registration desk. Dorothy is the main organiser for this and she is a real blast.

Although its in Australia, its still a long long way from Perth (apparently we're closer to the moon) but in a fit of friday night sillyness I booked two flights for my wife and I to pop on over for the event.

For the same price I could have gone to Bali for the week and spent time by the pool getting merry and more merry gazing at the local bikini clad beauties. Instead I chose to come over there there to gaze upon chunky middle aged blokes with bike gear and tents.

So I'll see you there.

I might be staying in Brisbane so might be looking to scrounge a lift or if I hire a car would be able to give someone else a lift. anyone else interested please let me know and we'll sort something out.

Cheers
Steven

Steven,

You made the right choice!

We've got a few flying in already, so closer to the date put up your arrival time in Brisbane and you may just strike it lucky. If not, some of us live close to the airport and may be able to pick you and your wife up

Hi Shane

Do you need help with Marketing? I can put in sometime there. Also I could do a little talk about my travels last year if you think people might be interested.

Cheers
Helen

Helen, that would be great. The biggest issues are to get a few more vendors in and to check what I have done so far for getting participants. And yes, I would love to put you into a session on your travels. Would a 45 minute spot be enough?

Attention all HUBBers.

We're off on a ride on Sunday.

Start at Dayboro Bakery - Samford - Mount Glorious - Wivenhoe - Moore ( for lunch ) - Kilcoy - Woodford - Dayboro.

Meet at 8:30 AM, leave by 9:00 AM. Lunch at around 12:00 PM

Timings are all a guess and probably not a good one at that.

If you would like a mudmap, email me shane@landau.com.au

See you there?

Regards,

Shane

Hi everyone.

I'm sure there will be quite a few changes, there are some gaps to fill and so forth but I'm at the stage where we have enough together to throw the schedule out there for discussion, amendment and improvement:

Thats if the Bike behaves

hiya

Sorry about that. Will fix next week ... and fingers crossed that you will be able to make it ... Australia's not that big

In 2011 we had quite a few arrive on the Thursday and a bunch went up to the football club for tea, which is where we also ended up on Friday as well and it was good. So I'ld recommend all the early birds to check it out again. If it isn't open, there are about five or six places in the main street worth a try.

Hi everyone,

Keeping in mind the size of the group we hope for this year, I would like to have four ride-outs on Sunday morning:

Advanced On-road
Advanced Off-road
Not-so-advanced On-road
Not-so-advanced Off-road

Mike and Jo Hannan are locked in for ride leader for the Advanced On-road and Frank Kuruz as sweep.


So now I'm putting out the call for ride leaders and sweeps. I'm after riders who know the areas well and perhaps will get in touch beforehand and plan the ride a bit. Looking at 2.5 hours each ride so that we can stagger the departure and arrival times as well. If you're up to the challenge, please let me know.

Thanks,

Shane

Greetings Shane.

It was great to meet up with you yesterday and chew the fat about the next meeting. Our appologies for not being able to attend as we really enjoy these gatherings..

Like minded souls getting together.... a place where the "doers" get together to encourage the "dreamers".

Simon and Lisa... hope you can make the meeting...we will eventually meet one day..took us almost ten years to hook up with the Ratays but we did get there eventually.

Carol and I will fly back to the USA 17th March to resume our North American travels. It is Alaska and Innuvik this summer and really look foward to getting back on the road after an extended stay in Australia due to family matters.

Really encourage everyone who maybe having reservations about going to these meetings. They are really quite inspiring.

We ran the first Australian H U Meeting in 2003 and remember two young school teachers attending with the male biker so keen to ride overland to his home country Wales and she being filled with fear. After the event she was so insired by meeting and talking to other travellers she purchased her own bike, learnt how to ride and did a practice run around Australia. Her father also joined them and they returned to our second meeting telling us of their journey. They were really fired up about their anticipated overland ride to the UK.

Cheers to everyone and see you on the road..... Ken and Carol Duval
