Are you ready for the Mystery Sausage Roll Ride? We just got back from a pre-ride in the tintop and we're looking forward to seeing a few of you next weekend - the more the merrier!

We will leave Yamanto at 9am, riding for about an hour then arriving at a half way point mystery comfort and drink stop. We'll relax here fo...

Oops, can't believe it, I put the kawasaki down and hurt my pride and scrached up my new paint job broke the clutch lever, bent the gear lever.

Put a small hole in my right leg.:(

I hope this isn't how my year will go.

See you all at the family day.

From Crash, maybe I should change my name.

Hi All. I am going to go for a ride tomorrow (Friday) Looking at going to Helidon and coming back through via Back Flagstone Creek Rd. This is the road Jay showed us on her Roads less travelled ride. Morning tea at the floating cafe in Granthum and open to suggestions from there on. Looking for a companion or 2 to keep me company. Leaving Maccas Yamanto at 10 am. From what I can remember, this road has quite a few twisties but nothing to be worried about cheers. Ado

Hi everyone, hope your Christmas planning isn’t too draining and that you’re finding time to keep sane.

Ado and I have been on a few trips to plan our Christmas Lights Night Ride … and this is what we have come up with.

Leaving Yamanto Maccas at 700 pm ish- we know that the advertised ride says 6:30 pm but what’s the use of looking at lights if the night sky isn’t with us.

We will slow drive-by visit the lights around Ipswich region, and ride t...
