    :) A group of riders from QLD headed off on Friday 5th July for 4 days of adventure and mayhem into NSW.
    Eight riders on mostly thumpers rode via Urbenville – first night in Glenn Inness, 2nd night Dorrigo and 3rd night Gingers Crk.

    Highlights included sliding around in the dark and a night river crossing leading into Dorrigo, the Oxley highway twists to Gingers Crk in the dark on knobbies, and minus 4 degree mornings.

    One of the absolute standouts being starting the Kangaroo Flat Rd off the Oxley highway, and emerging 200 k’s and 7 hours later at Rollins Plains after some really memorable riding through fantastic country.

    Nice to be able to report all riders arrived home well, bikes intact ( or mostly ) and grins all around.
    2 of us extended the ride into a 5th day as we just could not stop the fun.

    Around 2000 klm’s mostly dirt, forest roads, tracks and walking trails, and happy to report the Tenere 660 never missed a beat, I love this bike, it delivers all I want from it.

    The new Wolfman Expedition panniers are fantastic , now for new pipes to shed a few kilos and gain a few horses … any recommendations from OB members on the pipes?

    See you out and about on the trails.
    regards to all members.

    Here is a small river crossing we did on the ride

    The mighty DR did this trip with ease…wore out my T63 rear around (4000kms) and also finished off the D606 front around (6000kms)

    I managed 1840kms in the 4 days even with a bit of an off the DR hardly had a mark on her…hope to be able to fix the video that shows this as the camera was on but shut off with the crash and ended up not finishing the video, so if anyone knows of a free program to fix .MOV files let me know

    The final day for 5 of us was 650kms now thats numb bum zone right there

    Have a slight oil leak somewhere which I need to look for :angry:

    Will be putting a Heidenau K60 Scout 50/50 on the rear and a D606 front again as all our rides so far have been forest tracks and road.
