SEQ meet & greet
Any interest in a south east Qld get togehter to meet and greet, oh and show our bikes.
Any ideas in a venue, somerset dam maybe. Happy to hear any suggestions or interest, cheers. Shane |
I have tried many times over the years to organize get togethers in SA Queensland, seems everyone is just to busy these days.
I don't ride an XT any more but would love to meet & greet with like minded riders. |
Some real good information about KTM Kev

I don't think I have owned a bike that has not been modified in some way, the KTM is just my latest toy to play with.
I have done 13000kms (8K miles) in 7 months of fun riding, the SMR is unreal it has so much grunt, mine weighs the same as an XTX with 3 times the HP & double the torque. |

I wouldn't mind a ride to somerset dam. sounds good.

Good on you Shane
Hi mate, sounds like a great idea. I reckon an overnighter (at a pub) after a ride would be a great icebreaker... As long as you can give a few weeks notice count me in.

Thanks fellas,
I was thinking of about three weeks time which should give enough time to plan ahead and pencil it in if it suits. |
That is the weekend of the 3rd, I am free depending on the rain.
You can change the date to suit everyone I will fall in on any date. Over nighter? Kev Brisbane Day meet up? Kev |
Yep the weekend 3rd-4th March but am open to any date that suits other as well.
Am not to worried about numbers 2,3,4 but the more the merrier. Cheers. Shane |
I'd be interested... If it was mid morning afternoon session as I work Friday nights...sounds good though! I live out west way...
Cheers -brad |

SEQ Ride
Howdy Shane,
Whats the latest with the ride next weekend? I'm free with an RDO Saturday. Is Somerset still the go? Overnight? Knobbies? Let's know so we can organise something. Hopefully it won't rain!! Boneman |
hi all
so whats the meeting place,time etc |
Ok all,
Whats say we make it 10:30 ish (between 10 and 11) across from the shop at Somerset on Sat the 3rd if that works for others. Jason no need for kobbies yet, can go for a bit of a ride and make it an overnighter if you want. Just a meet and greet to say hi and to maybe get some more things going in the future. Let me know what you think and I may fit in a scouting run this week. Cheers, Shane. |
Boneman and I should be a the Esk bakery about 9:30 ish as well.
|
sounds good,is the shop also the cafe? also if your going for a midwk look around send me a pm i will come with you if you like

Saturday Ride
Hi Shane,
Have PMed you re: saturday's ride. Thanks heaps for organising this for us, glad you took the initiative! Looking forward to it :-) Boneman :clap: |
Can you mark the map so know one gets lost.
Anyone leaving from Brisbane up Mt Glorious to Somerset dam who wants to meet up at the last garage before Mount Glorious? http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...vxtx/1111q.jpg http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...vxtx/meet1.jpg http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...vxtx/meet3.jpg |
Mickd will pm you today sometime re mid week look around, prob wed or thurs.
Kev, now you're testing my computer skill as i've not long graduated form smashing rocks together. Will try and post up a map soon. Coming into Somerset from the Esk, Fernvale side you will see the camping ground to the right and futher up on the left is the shop/servo/cafe. The camping ground extends right up to opposite the shop as well and there is a tin hall there as well I think. I will make sure I park somewhere visible as a all black XT660R does not exactly stand out like a third nut on a greyhound, cheers. Shane. |
hi all
glad you put a map up kev,i was thinking of the cafe at lake wivenhoe,dont ask me why,i dont know:100: so the meeting will be at the servo then??on main street @ sumerset i am at highvale so for some who have to come up mount glor via samford,i can meet you if you like superman..thursday would be good for me if thats ok with you,or even today ?? |
Quote:
Is this the servo you are talking about? http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...evxtx/1111.jpg |
Quote:
Thanks Kev, Yep thats the one, servo/shop. I have heard that about KTM's and rain haha, gee don't tell me i'll have to back to riding with my BMW mates if it rains. We shall see you there Kev |
I can't believe out of the hundreds of XT660.com forum members who live in SE Queensland that there will on be a hand full of us on Saturday, I know I am looking forward to it.
Out the 5 years or so I have been on this forum I have only ever met a few like minded 660 riders in person. |
Quote:
I'm looking foward to it to Kev, it's great to meet like minded riders/people. It is a bit hard to believe that there have been no get togethers before, gee if it were a BMW forum you would have trouble keeping up with the togethers. Anyway this may be a good starting point for future rides and so on. I'm off for a little ride down there in the morning to look around (and just for a little ride). Look forward to meeting up on Sat' cheers. Shane. |
Just the start, hopefully...
Kev & Shane, start with a few guys this time, couple of ring-ins (& a police escort) have a great time, post some cool photos & videos to get the others in the forum off their arses. I'm pretty new to the forum, surprised this is the first ride that's been organised. Good upon you Shane for getting us organised.
Boneman |
I have tried a few times over the years to get an SEQ XT660 ride out, I only ever got one other XT660 for the 2 ride outs so I gave up.
|
Quote:
I understand that people are time poor these days but gee to get out on the bike and away does you a world o good. |
Kev2 the man who machines up all my XT660 mods including the big bore conversions is tagging along if you guys don't mind another none XT660X/R/Z rider, he has been a member here for the past 4 years & just loves bikes.
|
So who's coming tomorrow ?
There is Kev and Kev2, Boneman and me plus two others to join us. Who else is keen to meet up at Somerset |
Bike all fueled up for the ride tomorrow.:smilies0347:
|
yep i am in,
roll call supamanaint + 2 Kev and Kev2, Boneman mickd |
considering
Yamaha sold 203 XT660(Z and R) in 2011 in Australia (223 in 2010) -9.0%
and 129 XT660X's (158 in 2010) -18.4% You don't seem to see many. Maybe a get together in Newcastle could be organised? |
Quote:
Gee tough part of the world your in there, I grew up in the Hunter Valley so yeah i'd be up for a get together down there. |
I hope you guys are have a nice outing to Somerset. bit wet today.
Would have loved to join, but just returned from the Philippines, so gotta spent some time with the family first. I hope this will be repeated and that I can join then. Post some pics when you get back please. |
SEQ Ride
Just got back, yes, very wet at the end.
The majority of the ride was dry, 2 XTRs, BMW 800GS, ubiquitous DR650! MickD was there with his pristine XTZ, Kev KTM990SMR & Kev2 Kawasaki Z1000. Would be good to see a few more XTs represented, maybe next time. Good on you Shane (Supamanaint) for organising the day. Boneman |
Good to catch up with you guys today, we got soaked on our way back to Brisbane & the cops were everywhere on our way back.
|
******. You log into XT660 after a few weeks and the first post you see is from a ride in your backyard. Spent better half of today punching through the rain up and over tamborine with a mate. Next time lads.
