November 2014. Awoonga Dam – Tannum Sands
Ride Report Awoonga-tannum sands 16/11/2014 Kev Pearcey Nine bikes and riders with one passenger left Quay St at 8.30. Hot ,windy conditions had set the scene for a sultry day. We made our way along Rosedale rd. at one point getting passed a tray back 4wd with cane trash bales on the back that was blowing trash and dust into our faces. A reasonably leisurely pace brought us upon a short road work, which , fortunately, had us waiting only a couple of minutes. We...

Bunya Mountains Trip 18-10-2014 Peter Hansen Saturday morning, Tony, Lol, Warren, John A, Terry, Trevor, Karen and I headed for Biggenden for a coffee break and a fuel up for the Guzzi.

August 2014. Hervey Bay
Ride to Hervey Bay. 17-8-2014 by Peter Hansen Six of us met at the usual place with Johan Zwocak as a guest rider on his well-prepared Hayabusa. Great sound with the pipes. There was no designated ride leader and Warren asked if I would do it. As I have missed many ride leader roles recently because of other commitments and as Warren has done more that his fair share, I accepted. It was all unplanned so it was going to be a simple ride. Not a bad idea with...

Ride to Paradise and Fred Haigh Dams July 20th 2014 By Warren Walker Six of us gathered at the usual Quay Street car park for the days ride. There was a little confusion with a number of other riders from another club turning up for a ride also. After we sorted out what was happening attention turned to the day’s plan. Unfortunately there wasn’t one with Peter Hansen down to coordinate the ride being unavailable having ridden to Brisbane for the Laverda Club bike...
May 2014. Kilkivan and Tansey
Ride to Kilkivan 18th May 2014 By Warren Walker Arriving at Quay Street to meet up for the monthly ride we were greeted by a mass of pushbikes and riders occupying our usual meeting place.

Tim rocked up in his car to let us know the sad news that circumstance had forced him to sell off the FJR and...
