Any bikers near Toowoomba, Queensland?
Hi all,
My OH normally posts on this site and as the 'big move' is fast approaching, I thought I would see if there are any bikers near to where we are moving.
I have a KTM 950 supermoto and I am taking it with me .
We are planning to arrive in toowoomba around New Year and it would be great to talk to anyone over there already or planning to go.

We're at the stage were hopefully in the next couple of days we'll have the money taken from our accounts (reflecting on the spreadsheets!) We also hope to move south of Brisbane, Springfield area?? I too am taking my Africa Twin and was planning on having it packed first inside our container, but having been to the Manchester Expo, was told it would be the last thing for Custom reasons...gutted! Just had GPS cradle fitted and am looking forward to some long ride outs a la Long Way Down!!! Keep in touch and hopefully share a coffee on top of a mountain somewhere!! Nice bikes the KTM but ya can't beat a Twin - she's my baby!!!

We live just outside the city and brought 4 bikes with us
I've got a CBR 400RR (cos I'm a midget and hubby has a ZXR750 and a 1978 Triumph Bonnie (both of which he's had from new) and a 1956 BSA Bantam.
There are quite a few bikers out here - lots on Harleys though and some of them can't ride for toffee! We haven't ridden as much as we would have liked, mainly because we have a 12 year old son who is mad about sport and most of our weekends are spent ferrying him around to matches.
We did go to a rally a couple of weekends ago at Imbil
http://www.leisure-riders.com/faqs.htm
It pissed down with rain the whole way there (180 miles)
Still very good fun though
You'll have to get in touch when you get over - my hubby works for QLD Transport now so can help with all the stuff you need to do with registering your bike

<soz to barge in >
Im not into bikes, albeit i likes lookin at em !
Where we live, the village sees about 300+ riders each weekend.. they nip in pub have a few coldies, then saunter up to Mt Mee.
Generally, a great bunch, and mostly 2 or 3 guys together on separate bikes lol.. or couples on separate bikes
Most arrive about 9-10am... and it just goes from there.. as far as im aware, its the biggest gathering, of bikers on a regular basis, for no apparent reason lol..
also we seem to see tons of utes with motor-x bikes strapped to the back, so theres gotta be someones old paddock, being ripped... somewhere close by

Re: Any bikers near Toowoomba, Queensland?
As I mentioned earlier, I am hoping to bring my Africa Twin over with me though searching through the likes of e-bay (Oz) and bike sales magazines, I can't find any reference of an Africa Twin??? Can anyone already over there advise me in terms of what parts availability is like / service etc should I win the battle with my OH and bring my baby over with me!!!
