QLD Numinbah Valley CruiZe Sunday 28th June

Great cruise guys and girls. Just the right distance for us to aquaint ourselves with our new zed. I'm happy to report that all went well except a bit of a cylinder miss I need to track down. Oh, and a pod filter and cat back exhaust will help me to keep up with leadfoots Red Turtle Z and Nasty Girl (should be Crazy Girl!). Nice driving ladies

Good to see some new faces. Kiz seemed to enjoy himself in his beautiful orange/red zed. Didn't even want to stop for traffic coming the other way over a one-way bridge. Rubber tyres skidding on wooden bridges make lots of smoke lol.

Thanks for setting this up K-zed. We appreciated the warm welcome back into the fold.

Anyone got pics??

 

PICS!



Sorry about the quality of them. I don't know why they turned out crap.






NOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!


Ash's car broke down. Leaking fuel hose, my bad.





The usual poser



What's goin' on here Rob?

 

the yellow zed looks good...
small cruise tho..

 

Few hundred K's.

 

Pics are better than your driving Cam ... you were always sideways in my RV mirror

Hopefully Ash got home ok which is more than Neil (Cove) & Sharon managed. Tranny failure saw their Zed transported back to Gold Coast on tilt-tray and now I have house-guests.

Was a great day for driving although a few wanted to defect to another cruise half way when the Lambo, Audi R8 and a whole heap of Lotus's flew past the Valley View Cafe.

Despite Jimbo's being listed on the net, it no longer exists so we had some fun in Tweed going round in circles until a Fish'n Chip cafe on the river was found. All was good, except for Cove's breakdown, and lunch went down well.

Thanks to all 12 Zedders who made it it a fun day. :zlove:

 

yeah thanks heaps guys and girls had a good day and hope to see u on all the cruises to come cheers

 

thanks all for a great and fun day ... despite the funny, confused departure from lunch which had zeds heading to all corners of the country ... an all in good cruise ...

most notable was the due RESPECT and no off jokes ... lol.. well almost ...

.. and welcome to jason, a new zedder and forum member ...

12 Zeds is a nice number.

edit: and welcome back to jet power and his fine new machine ....

sorry to hear why we lost COVE on his first cruise from his new home ....

 

Looks like a great day

You guys are having all the fun. Can't wait to get back in my zed. Buying some cheap goodies to bring home at the moment. Good to see the zedders looking after each other.

 

Crazy Girl Not even

Was a great day.... unfortunately wasn't feelin the best so put a bit of a downer on it but all in all was great!!

There's always gotta be one to hav car troubles and I guess this time it was me. Split fuel hose results in no go so i found out . All good now though got home no worries! HUGE thanks to all the guys for there help

Great to see some new faces and catch up with all the old ones!

Looking forward to the next one

 

dam shame. i missed out. i was wake boarding. hmm when my old zed gets finished ill take it on a cruise. it will look half good. lol half painted in original colour, and half with they old paint job(u know its 6shades of white perl) rather than standard, sheesh who ever painted it was a noob. hmm who owns the red zed with rims very nice,

oh well hopefully ppl will see me at the next cruise.

 

Waahahaha yeah, we nearly had a mutant red/orange/yellow/veilside creature created when I nearly kissed poor Pex's Zed on that bridge...
1) Thank goodness I got my brakes working before the cruise
2) Time to figure out why the ABS doesn't work....

Only downside is now the auto tranny is slipping... when it gets warm... noticed it on the Numinbah-Tweed Heads leg and again on the way home. Time to change fluids me thinks.

Teegan and I had a ball, one of the best weekends we've had in a long time... thanks everyone!

 

I didn't get to see all that action riding psa with Fate we were up ahead most of the time but we definitely had some erm.. quick cornering.

Great being a passenger for once, thanks for that dude.

 

Some photos Teegan snapped during the trip...

 

A BIG thanks and yes I am shouting

to a number of people, the reception committee at Fates arriving on the back of a tow truck is not the way but thanks fella's :thumbup: , Shaun (Fate) for over night storage of the Zed :thumbup: , and to Rob for the overnight accomodation and the running around on monday morning helping to sort out the issues :thumbup: it is fantastic to be associated with a group of people who are willing to assist when the chips are down. Without your help Rob it would have been a lot harder, Thanks from Sharyn and myself it was greatly appreciated.

 

Numinbah Fun Run...

Beautiful day both in the sky and on the roads.

Weather was perfect for it!

Another fabulous drive through the mountain roads with plenty of Twisties... lots of fun had by all. I know I enjoyed myself especially

Car feels so different with a PSA. Bit more effort needed to throw her safely up the mountains .

Shame bout the fuel leak, but thankfully easily fixed. Not so lucky with Cove's car. But that too is now seeing A Dr.

Shame the eurotic's pulled over at the next stop... would have been an even better drive through the mountains close on their tail I will just have to use my imagination now.

Thanks to all for great company and another great drive.

Fate

 

good to hear that things are under control, Cove ....

that does not forgive, however, the fact that somehow we lost you and were not there to assist with the initial breakdown ... apologies to you both for that .. a bad cruise oversight/collapse of procedure ....

AND KIZ; you have no idea how much smoke you put up with that heavy breaking exercise ... somewhat spectacular from the back of the field .. lol... it did look very close to the bridge ... lol....

 

Sad i missed it
had to work!
the pictures look great and OMG another P plater in those photos first one other then myself ive seen on a cruize since my self hehe
Cant wait for the next cruize.
