Hi Errol

I'm glad you liked it, it is an amazing place.

I haven't really worked out how to put photos onto photobucket with any real confidence, but I'll give it a go.  If I'm unsuccessful I did sent the same email to Christian so maybe he can help if I dip out.

Cheers

Paul. that place is amazing! Any chance you could put the photos on Photobucket and put up a thread about it in general bike talk?

I'm only going tomorrow expecting to see a shed with bikes in it. Nothing like that place!

Hey Errol

looks like the ride is coming together nicely, I wish I could take part.

Did you like the pics of the bike museum??

Cheers

[Eveready1100]

Thanks for the heads up, mate. Though we should be travelling legal-lish between those points

[Tim]

heres my plan if  everything comes together, I'l meet at the tea room on the mtn  by 10 as I'm only 30 mins or so to the east
ps beaware  of smoke haze around brissy
there s also been reports of a white  car with flashing  blue /red lights    BOGUS  unmarked police car    between  kilcoy  and fernvale

[Eveready1100]

Ken, a rough guesstimation giving that we'll be at the tea room at 10am, and it's 90klms away, and meeting Tim and intro's, coffee  etc, I'd say around 11.30 - 12 o'clockish.

It's ok, mate. FJR's are family too.

Should be there 
Just need to know what time roughly at Haigslea.

I'll have to slum it and take a FJR.

[Tim]

with the potenional planetary allignment and various astrnomical annomalies 
i may just be able  to slip the leash on sunday am for a ride 
i'l know more closer to the day

[XSNT999]

Sounds great and have a cup of tea for me, eh!!

[Eveready1100]

Paul, I'll try to get pics of them all, and post them up here. Maybe you'll recognize a few of them.

Hey Errol

Sounds like a great day, if only my bike was on the road, if only I wasn't working and last but not least if only I lived in Qld and not SA.

It reminds me of the collection Keith Williams used to have in Surfers Paradise, I was fortunate to see that about 1994 before he sold it off.  An amazing array of bikes, hopefully they all stayed in OZ.

Cheers

Steptoe and I were discussing getting out for a ride so we've decided that all the planets must be aligning on Sunday, 13th January, as we are both not working and both have a twisty itch that needs scratching badly, so we're going for a ride to the motorcycle Museum at Haigslea (near Ipswich) to finally check out that XS1100 Policebike that was talked about in Bretts thread.
We're looking at taking a tour of Maleny, Mount Mee, Dayboro, then plan to be in the vicinity of the Tea room on Glorius by 10am. Then it's a 90 klm run down the west side of Mt Glorius , through Fernvale and out to the Museum. Anyone interested stick a post up or a PM, and we'll try to work an ETA for a meet along the route.
BTW, admission to the Museum is $15 with free Tea, coffee or water supplied.
