Thanks Bazz you will get a better nights sleep tonight. and thanks for the wake up call. 

Good onya Reg. Yeah, I'll be heading to dream land soonish.
Wake up call was a freebie, no need to thank me.

Hi. Sgt Schultz here.
Few years inactive due, as some of you know, to major health issues.
Have been somewhat disappointed with PV.
The legacy of Davo being walked over.
I joined FarRiders after meeting David Jones and a few reprobates at the Kawasaki GTR-Aus meet at Clare.
I was drawn in by his openness and genuine love of all things bikes and his ability to connect with people.
The FarRiders began through GTR then obviously developed and became a separate entity as it grew.
It was a stepping stone for those who had a desire to take part in longer distance rides without the pressures of a full on IBA ride.
Davo managed to get FarRiders recognised with the IBA.
He put a great deal of work in developing this.
It was traumatic for everyone who knew him when he died just short of completing the IBA ride in America.
There is a great deal of history from GTR Aus, FarRiders and IBA.
One man's arrogance and disdain for this should not be allowed to downgrade and lose the long distance ride history.
My numbers are GTR-AUS 89, IBA 45920, FR 299.
Despite my inability to ride now I keep these with pride.
And thanks for letting me register.
I can still ride vicariously through the ride reports.

Welcome home Sarge, really good to see you here.
Sorry to hear of your health issues preventing your two wheeled enjoyment.

Personally and I guess like most of us, we feel and share your sentiment.

Thank you for joining up, supporting and contributing.

Fantastic job Kwaka, this forum will assist many riders and the future progression of LD riding in Australia.

Hey Bazz, before this train gets too far down the tracks, maybe you'd like to consult with some of the other folks trying to pull things together, like Wombat over here in WA?

[FJReggie]

Thanks Kwaka for getting this up and running.
It's good to have OUR forum back on line. Regardless of all the issues, it still is and always will be OUR forum.

G'day everyone,

The rider formerly known as DanZZR here. Thought I'd use my real name for a change.

Hats off to Bazz for making this happen. Can't thank him enough.

Good to see people finding the new site. Hopefully will see some ride reports soon.

Well done Kwaka.  If the old FR is dead and I'm not convinced yet, but if it is, happy to coordinate rides in Tassie, if that is how this group developes.  Once again well done.

G'day and welcome Carsten, terrific to see you here.

Appreciate your EOI. Yes, still a lot of dust to settle but you are on the Tassie admin list anyways.
