    Here’s a few just to keep Ecks happy.

    I didn’t get to many, was having to much fun riding to stop.

    Here’s Yakka, not too shabby for only his second ride.

    Well what great ride to start my OBT expereince!
    Great bunch of guys & girls,good trails & fine weather. Highlights would have to be the
    120k loop at Putty with the jump/erosion humps.
    Thanks again TB for putting the ride on & eagle for the support vehicle.

    I had so much fun
    I never used to be in to the open stuff. But this was one of the best rides ever. As soon as it rains I’m going to drive out to the half way road house and do that loop a few more times (with a little more high speed compression on the shock) whilst it is still freshly machined. Tb it is not far for you to drive there too.

    Thanks heaps tb. We know how much you were hurting, how far you came (orange) and how little sleep you had. Thanks mate. And for being the old bull bar again with the logging truck and 4wds.

    Thanks eagle and ash

    Thanks yakka and boulder for sweeping. Glad you didn’t have to pick the bike off racytracy. I was stopping up the track at the bits racytracy would find tricky. However once she got her confidence back she was right.

    Thanks to me for being alive this morning. I think that when I came off the track and went through the trees at well over 100kph, that should have slowed me down but it didn’t. I later found out we were all being silly buggers.

    Ever since I joined obt , I traditionally knock a ding in the pipe like notches on the bed head

    The pipe was in the same condition on return. Sweet. It’s good to put a fresh pipe, they work sooo much better than one full of absorbent.

    Big brakes with no guard and still very blue trying to catch tb.

    On the way home racytracy was soo happy that she rode the whole way that she even had to refrain from the telling the girl that was selling us our dinner what she had just done.

    once again, thanks guys

    Look like you guys had a ball. Glad everyone is okay and your shoulder made it through TB. Have you ever been on an OBT ride and not dented your pipe champo, that was the new one too! :laugh:

    The pics of the jumps look good, nice to see some ‘action’ pics :) Top work Eagle on your support vehicle duties, it sounds like you were a great help too.
