Lovely of you to remember, Chris
Had a great trip with a great bunch of people.
Thumpa (from OzFS) rode down from the Sunshine Coast (about 156 miles) & stayed the night here before we both rode to Sydney the next day (about 625 miles). Stayed at a fellow OzFSer (Fathead), with another couple of Stormers (Saz & Yellafella) coming for a barbie (that's the Aussie cooking type, not the doll). From there, four Storms travelled down to Wollongong (probably another 150 miles or so... and don't knock the name, it's my birthplace). Heaps of brilliant roads around there, all of which we studied several times over, before a couple of days R&R at my Aunt's place in Sydney (huge place with a massive deck overlooking the pool & national forrest which is her backyard) and heading back home.
I tell you what... FireStorms attract an top type of person. Just about every Stormer I've met has been great. Hospitality everywhere. Rock up at someone's place we've never met & be treated like family. I'm chuffed to be a part of it.
