    I cant vouch for Snow but Boony’s never done and adventure ride. Closest he has was the Jurds ride where ya get on the cans then ride all day then get on the cans. But he was crashed out on the table at the halfway point on that one and then cut the last quarter of the ride and went home and missed getting on it :laugh:

    Nah leave it we will go without them :laugh:

    Funny thing Bollocks is there is a thread here somewhere Boony talking about buying a LC4 for adventure style riding :P

    Good fishing out there Bollocks ?? :silly:

    Bollocks, did the recky over the spoin kop road,plenty of creek crossings and good chance of being spat if wet cause of red clay /rocks. bit over 100 kms barraba to narrabri this way. from boggi to barraba best route, most remote,good chance to sight more of those moonshiners.
    cheers

    No sure if I will make this one now. This job will finish at the end of this month and assuming I have found a new one. I don’t like my chances of getting time off in the first couple of weeks, I’ll try though. Then again I might still be relaxing between jobs at that time. :D

    Hi Bol,

    What is the estimate time of return Sunday? Just determining if I need to take Monday off as well..

    I will probably want to bunk at your place Wednesday night as I would trailer to you.. Maybe Sunday night as well depending on return time?

    Put me on the list please……….
