March 2010 Update
Hey Everyone,
We are currently working on 3 great ideas for those of you who don't have a motorbike but would like access to one every now and again.
Idea One: We will be implementing an last minute booking request system where you will be able to get notifications to get the bike for half price for the weekend ahead. Keep a look-out for this on our front page.
How it will work:
1. You will have to register to receive txt messages from us.
2. You will receive a txt message on your telephone when the bike is available at half price
3. If you are the first to call, you get thee bike at half price.
Idea Two: We are trying to set-up a "toys club". By the end of this year we will add a few more cool toys to our fleet (such as jetskis and smaller boats). If you are interested, make sure you let us know.
Idea Three: We would like to know which bikes you want to hire. So, a waiting list will be set-up for the newest model motorbikes. This way you get the bike you want, and we keep growing our fleet with the best motorbikes available.
Feel free to send us an email whenever you want. If you have any ideas of your own, we would love to hear from you!
Keep smiling! And ride safe... Nick
Sat Aug 29th 2009 Ride
Steve suggested we head to Kyogle, NSW this Saturday for a full-day ride. I'd like to organise this one from Slacks Creek for all of our Brisbane and Gold Coast Riders.
Here are the details:
Meeting at Unit 12, 8 Springlands Dr, Slacks Creek, 4127 (that is right off the M1 highway, exit number 26)
Time: 8:30 for a 9am start
2nd Meeting point for those riders from the Gold Coast: Outpost Cafe, Canungra (Expected time 9:45-10am)
Destination: Kyogle NSW
Difficulty: Easy to Intermediate
Visit: www.thrillrider.com.au/news for this ride info.
Notes: This one will be another one of those easy rides. We will not be speeding. If you want to go fast, drop back and catch up. This ride is about meeting some great people, having a few laughs, enjoying the scenery and riding on some great roads.
The weather looks perfect as of today: fine and 15C to 25C all day. We will have 4-5 planned stops, and 1stop for lunch. I expect that we should return around 4-5pm.
If anyone wants to suggest a few great places to stop, let me know. And also, if you are coming, please reply to this email or give me a call. We will wait for you if you are on your way. (I know a few people missed out last week, but that was partly my fault and I will make sure it does not happen again - but please call: Nick 0420 22 81 43)
Ride safe and keep smiling,
Nick

Sat and Sunday Rides
Ride Pics from Saturday are up!
Hey, Check out the Saturday August 8th 2009 Motorbike Ride Pics
Hey Everyone,
If you are not doing anything important this Saturday or Sunday, come out for a ride or two.
Ride 1: Sat 8th Aug 2009
I've organized a short ride for Saturday, leaving from the Soul z Bar (Chevron Island - GC) and heading through the Hinterland. We haven't decided on the exact route, but I think well head up to Mt Tambourine and Beechmont for this one.
Meeting: Soul z Bar - Chevron Island - GC - Thomas Dr.
When: 8:45 for a 9am start.
Everyone welcome. We will just take it easy through the mountains for about 4 hours or so.
Ride 2: Sunday 9th Aug 2009
This one is a bit longer. Same meeting spot. Soul z Bar - Chevron Island. I would like to head up to ORileys, but we'd have to see how experienced everyone is before we can make that choice.
Meeting: Soul z Bar - Chevron Island - GC - Thomas Dr.
When: 8:45 for a 9am start.
Everyone welcome. We will aim to return around 3-4pm.
Email me if you are thinking of coming out. Or give me a call on 0420228143 if you are on the way and would like us to wait for you.
Cheers,
Nick
