Before this gets posted in the Ride section, I thought I would run this message in the area where all the Z owners are.
How about a ride where all of us Z, ZRX, etc... owner can get together? There seems to be a bunch of us in the western Sydney area, so why not get together, go for a ride, and talk some crap. At first nothing official and maybe just a short 2 hour ride, and give us a chance to get to know each other and check out some different roads. I was thinking about meeting at Penrith Panthers due to it having a huge carpark and it being a big landmark that most people can easily find. From there we can head in any direction and find some good roads.
So what do you say? Who is interested? If there is enough people I will post it in the correct area.

There are normally at least 4 or 5 Zeds at PITS on a Sunday morning at the Regular Sunday Run every week

....might be easier for you to come to us
PS. the more Zeds the better

Wattie, I know what you mean.
I don't really care if nobody at all wants to join in, I am going riding anyway. But I am riding out in the west where there are no cops, no traffic, and no hero drivers coming around corners on my side of the road. Screw riding over an hour in traffic to START the ride.

A few of the crew down here (main types of bike ATM seem to be ZRX's & Zed's

) have been talking about heading up to Burragorang Lookout one Sunday soon, that may be an option - meet at Picton or something.

I was actually planning to ride to Nattai anyway Phil on a Sat or Sunday soon. Going down Mulgoa then Silverdale Rd to Burragorang Rd Lookout, then on the way back heading through Cobbity and doing Greendale Rd with maybe a stop at Bents Basin. Just the bloody rain is screwing up the weekends! Did the run to Bents last weekend and didnt see another vehicle all down Greendale. Love having the road to myself!
The bike itself doesnt really matter that much. My mate will be on new CBF1000. But it would be good to get as many of the same types of bikes as possible.
Heading to the Pie is OK if you want to head out for the whole day, and yeah there are some good ways to get there. But when you only want a few hours in the saddle it is not the destination of choice for some of us.

I might be in, depending on weather. I could do with a cupla pies, and it has been a while.
More interested to head south than north, but we will see how we go between now and then.
