Hi everyone. I'm Mark from Oxley. I have a Honda Forza 250. Would love
to do some rides with fellow scooterists. I used to do the ones
organised by the Mater Hospital. They were great fun. Concerning the
weekend rides - what day do you normally do them ? It's probably
Sunday - which is bad for me , since I have my 4 y.o son all day.
Maybe I can do the dinners ?
Anyway  - all have a great Christmas & happy scootering.
Today is my last day of work for 2 weeks ... HURRAYYYYYY   !!!!!

Five of us going to Pt. Macquarie so far, on the Friday morning, via
Lions Rd, Summerland Way, Nana Glen, & Coffs.

We are looking to ride up and back the Oxley Highway on Saturday
morning, returning for the activities at Macqaurie around lunch time.

Probably also do a run somewhere on Sunday, then home on Monday.
Most (a lot anyway) riders, as in past rallies, drift off home on the
Sunday.

Looking forward to meeting up with other Brisbane riders over the weekend.
      Smoko Bob.

Hello Everybody,

Don't forget this weekend is the 6hr scooter enduro at Willowbank Kart
track. Racing starts at 5.20pm and will be a hoot to watch. Entry for
spectators is only a gold coin donation to charity. If you have nothing
planned, pop out for a cheap night out and catch up with other scooter
people from all over the Great South East.

Benito,
zipping up the racing leathers :)

Hey Everyone,
The scooteroo dinners will be back in the New Year and we have
organised to meet at Vespa Pizza. There will be a similar deal for $20.
This will include breads, main meal and a coffee. BARGAIN!!

Please let us know if you are interested in coming along, we are
looking forward to seeing everybody in the New Year.

Remember if you are interested to see some scooter racing there is the
1st ever race open to the public on the 15th of Dec. Entry fee for
spectators is a gold coin. The race format is a 6hr enduro and starts
at 5.20pm. It will be a cracker of an everning and also a cheap night
out.

Hey Everyone,
There has been some talk about joining in on the Toy Run this Sunday
and helping out a few very important charities. If you are keen then
you can find more info on this run at   http://www.mraqld.org/cms/.

If you want to come then all you need to do is bring something along to
donate. This could be anything from a fluffy toy to canned food. You
are unable to donate perishables though.

We are meeting with members of the Canetoad SC at the McDonalds on
Lutwyche Road (left hand side, outbound) at 8.45am to leave at 9am. We
will head as a group up to Nudgee Collage, the official starting point
to this year's run. The run ends down at Drevesen Park at Wynnum and
there will be a band, raffles and a prize for the best dressed.

Drop a line if you wish to participate in this worthy cause. We get to
ride and help people along the way :)

Hello James,

This sounds like a great idea. I missed out on Boreen Point due to work
commitments and would still like to catch up and meet some scooter
people. Count me in!!

Ciao,
Jose

Who would like to meet up for dinner durring the week? I would like to
catch up with some other scooter people in the new year as the hristmas
rush will be over by then. We could meet up at Vespa Pizza or Vine at
New Farm on a Thursday night and may be make it a once a month thing.

We started going to Vine earlier this year and had a great time - with
some really great pasta. Let me know if anyone is interested as we can
start these up again and get some fun going.

Thanks,

James

Hey Everyone,
Not doing anything this Saturday night?
Want to take your scoot on a race track?

Well you can come for a practise night on a track this Saturday night @
the Willowbank Go-kart track. It is the cheapest and safest way to ride
your bike a little faster than you normally would around city streets.
It is also a great way to learn riding techniques and apexing corners
and see what your bike can actually do.

Practise costs $50 and a one day licence is $20. Total $70.

It starts at 4pm and goes until 9.30/10pm

On another note the first scooter race that is open to the public will
be held on the 15th of December, also at the Willowbank Go-Kart track.
It is a 6 hour endurance event and has 3 different groups running in
it. Standard 50cc scoots(self explantatory), Super Sport 50cc scoots
(50cc engine with exhaust and transmission mods) and mega scoots (50cc
bored out to 70cc and go hard or go home). There will be plenty of
action from the little scoots as some will top 95km/h down the main
straight!!
If you are interested in watching this cool event the race starts @5pm
and goes until 11.30pm. Cost of entry for spectators is a gold coin
donation so it is a cheap night out - bring the family.

Come and cheer us on.

The Port Macquarie rally was discussed at Boreen Point.

Yahoo groups/nationalscooterrally

Scooteroo will probably have someone suggesting an itinary for those
choosing to go.

Sounds like a great place to have this next rally, and it's only
around 540 km from Brisbane if you go via the Lions road and
Summerland way, which is what I intend to do, even if I am on my Pat
Malone.

A long days ride yes, perhaps with an early start, and forget about
the long lunch.

If any one else is thinking along the same lines, and wants a bit of
company, post a reply.

Hopefully, a few of the maxitag crew will join me, but no one has made
a commitment yet.
We will be riding maxis, but it won't be a race to get there.

Smoko Bob.

Yep....I'd have to agree....it was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend with a
fun ride, good meal, enjoyable people, and interesting surrounds! (not to
mention a few quite/cheap beers)

The organisers, and riders, are all to be congratulated.

Looking forward to another scoot ride sometime soon....a couple of hours
away from Bris is a superb idea...

Regards, jb.

Joe, Ben, Scooteroo -

Thanks for a most memorable weekend, with such a stimulating bunch of
riders on all sorts of scoots.

Loved the bob sled.

Count me in on the next one, and I'll bring some mates.
Smoko.

To All,

I would like to thank each and every person who came to Boreen Point
for the weekend! It was the largest ever scooter overnighter run
turnout ever!!
Thanks for all your support because without that we would not have
had a run!
It was also good to see a lot of old faces that I haven't seen for
quite some time.
The general consensus is that we should do it again next year and
make it bigger and better.
So we have plenty of time now to start throwing around ideas to
either improve or make it more entertaining.
Keep us posted!
Special thanks to Don, Kaye and all the staff at the Apollonian Hotel
at Boreen Point for a fantastic weekend!

Also special thanks to Ben for doing most of the organising.
Thanks & Regards
Joe D'Ercole

Hey Everyone,
First and foremost, thank you to everyone coming along. Without your
support this run could have never happen.

We deemed the run a success with a strongly positive response from
everyone we spoke to. We had a great variety of bikes and even more
variety of people......

Thanks to the businesses that donated gifts so we could have our
various prize giveaways.
Scooter Style @ Noosa - Helmets and "scooter" mags
Retro Scooters @ Milton - Grip Sets
Right Round Australia - RRA Calender
Scooterlife - Vespa Models

The Scooteroo Boreen Point Rally will be back next year - Bigger and
better than ever :)

We will be back on the mountain in 2 weeks for those up for the
breaky run. We will keep you posted.

Benito Scooterboy

Well Boreen point is now here!!
Everything is ready to go, so roll on down to Scooters Scooters @ 1pm
tomorrow and we will be underway. We will be leaving at 1.30pm sharp
and meeting up with the others from the North Coast at Caloundra.

It going to be a hoot!!!

Benito Scooterboy

Sounds good.
What and where is the National Group?

Smoko Bob.

Hey Doug,

Sorry mate, The Dinners have been on hold for a while but we will
notify when we get this back into full swing.

The "Lake Run" is actually an overnight run to Boreen Point. I will
email you a flyer so you can have a read. We have 52 people now so it
is going to be a great turn out.

There is the run up Mt Glorious this weekend if you have some spare
time. We are normally home by 10.30 am so you can have the rest of
the day free.

Benito

night at the Vine in New Farm.

what is your "lake run"?

Hey Everyone,
Just a quick update on Boreen. Numbers are confirmed, accomodation

Hello Everyone,
Well only a few weeks away now and I am getting excited about this
run. We have 49 people and all different types of scooters too which
is going to be great fun. If you have any questions drop me a line.

We will also be back on Mt Glorious next Sunday morning (11th) for
those enjoying the beautiful mornings that we are having at the
moment. Leaving at the Mobil @ 7.30am at The Gap. Come for a quick
run and have some breaky with us.
