Level 2 ride Neerim South.
Ok this one is aimed at the older fellas in the club who do not ride very much anymore and enjoy an easy ride with a good lunch at the pub with plenty of bench racing.
It will be a morning ride with lunch at the pub after.
If you are under 40 years old then I would not encourage you 2 come along unless you want to spend a day with old farts and old farts stories and lies.
This is a very social ride, with plenty of stops, and Lunch at the Neerim Sth Pub after the ride.
If you have not thrown a leg over your bike for a while stop making excuses and put your name down and come a long for lots of laughs and bull dust stories and remember why you are in such a great club.
If you want 2 attend this ride I need to know sooner than later so I can book our spot at the Pub.
 
Ok for the ride, this is not a beginners ride but if you have done a few level 1 level 2 AMTRA rides with out to much problems and with good pace you should be fine on this one. We meet at the DSE Latrobe River Rd Trail Bike unloading Sunday the 23rd of May 8.am for a 8.30am start onto the trails and back 2 the cars for 12.30 and into the Pub for 1pm. Rec Reg welcome. Full tank of fuel. Plenty of fluid for hydraition. Nothing too hard a nice cruisy ride with a few small steep ups and downs but mainly open trails and maybe a couple of goat tracks thrown in depending on who comes along.

We should be all packed up, and sitting down in the Neerim Sth Pub ,for some serious bench racing by 1pm lunch.
If your coming and for directions(see attached Latrobe TVA map)
For the guys who have not been to Neerim before I will meet you at the East bound BP on Princes Hwy at Long Warry for 7.15am for a 7.30am departure from the BP. Note I will be parked at the rear of the servo in the truck parking bays. The servo is around 15 minutes past the last Pakenham turn off and it is just inside the 80klm speed zone. contact Will 0414354317

Twice, Big Fella....twice!

Hi Will,
Please put me down for your old fart's ride...Fred as a 10% maybe, as his knee's still stuffed but he'll definately come to the pub. Who's tailman? we will be very good friends..  ;D
Cheers,
Marls

No Probs u r both on the list. Tailperson is yet to be decided but I will make sure they are of a kind sharing type. Will

I just scrape in as an old fart,so I'll come along if there's room left.I'll be up for another parma at the pub too.

No Probs Darren B good 2 have ya along, R you going 2 drag that young whipper snapper Rat along 2. Will

I know a bloke who is really ace at tailman duties. ::)

I will put you on the list Hill Buddy.

Gidday Rossi-Boots,
Thank's for offering (not that I expect to need any help of course, maybe some of the other old farts will  ::)). Fred said to tell you he'll be the tailman support rider. All we need now is a tailman support sweep & we might have a whole new group at the back supporting the tailmen's... I'll be leader at the back of course ;D
Marls
ps John T has taught me how to ride fast & hard up to the corners, so watch out!!!

That sounds like a good job for me!

 ;D

Hey Marls,

Have you noticed your 'post count'?

What was that raffle number you DIDN'T want to call out?

 ;D

POST # 70
So you're the official tailmen's support sweep rider now Serge  :D  We now have a team ;D
....Marls

Oi will, I was just thinking, what about putting our ages behind our names, I don't mind letting every body know my age, I'm 63 years young ;D

Pretty sure the young fella will be up for it..
Are you switchin'to a husaberg Will?

count me in here,ill give it a go!,considering im 47,i think i qualify,cheers  rob

I Will put him on  the list Darren, the Husaberg was a bike I was going to purchase but they had no stock when I wanted it so I bought the KTM as a fill in but since falling in love with it I am not so desparate to buy a berg but one day I may just buy one. Will

Hi Will,

Please put me down for this ride. I can confirm Berg's are best. ;) ;D

Zeke

ill give this one a go,i think ill be allowed out on that day,ill even charge the battery up in my 525 so i dont have to kick it! :)

Told Ya!!!

Rob and Dave u r on the list

How on earth does one kick over a 525 is there a special knack to it?

The secret is to get someone else to do it!!

You tube it there is a great demo on how to kick one

Ok I need to book Lunch at the Pub this week so I need to finalize the numbers, Robbo you coming along, it is on a Sunday so it is your day off , what other old farts want to come, dust of the cobwebs fill the tank with some new fuel and oil your chain and put you laughing gear on and come and have a fun day out with like minded old farts. Will
If you have any questions just call me on 0414354317.
If you know of any of our members who do not visit the web please pass this onto them and encourage them along.

OK, I should be able to make it. Hardly seems worth getting the bike dirty for an easy half day ride though!
I am getting old so perhaps I can bring Serge along and we will just drive straight to the pub. Saves having to wash the bike later and getting my riding gear dirty and wet.

Ian

Don't worry Ian I will make it worth your while getting dirt. The club needs 2 know that el presindeti can still ride a bike.

put me down as I qualify on all criteria.Old, farty and hasnt thrown a leg over the bike, or misses, for a while.
Jim  WR 450   Pub yes   

Where is my name. You have convinced me to get my bike and gear dirty and now leave me off the list! And I will need lunch as well.

And me.....what about me!!!!

 ???

Not sure what happened, I thought I had you on the list, don't worry though I did book the pub for 18 so we are safe. Will

I can see your confusion!  I've just looked through the thread and I haven't actually said that I'm coming.  Onion will probably also attend, so better put him down too.

Cheers,

no probs, what is onion first name ?

Mr.

No, seriously...it's Damian K.

Will better book me in and bring bubble wrap for james he is still a bit tender.And thats two more  for lunch/drinks

No Probs Mat, does James want to attend the level 1 training ride, perhaps we can teach him how to land without hurting himself when his bikes bucks him off.

just fitted training wheels,seatbelt,airbags and stability control. Just need another 200cc to move it all.

Would like to come Sunday any chance I can hitch a lift from someone nearby Parkdale. Happy to pay for my share of the fuel.

Brad, happy to give you a lift if no-one closer can. Let me know. Also if I am giving you a lift best pm me with your address again and the time we need to leave your house.

Think I can detour to Parkdale from my place without too much trouble. Give me a ring Brad to work out the time, you should have a good handle on getting there.

Dave & Darryl - Lunch @ pub YES.  If not too late.

C Ya Sunday

Thanks Mat if you can give me a lift that would be great I will call.

Will, I volunteer to go tailman for the ride, its my turn.

That will be great thanks Brad.

Ok we have two spare spots at lunch if anyone wants to come along for a ride 2morrow and then lunch at the pub. Will
