Hi Guy’s,
Looking forward to going on this and will be leaving on Thursday and hoping to hooking up with some of your’s and travelling up there.
I heard that some are leaving Bathurst on Thursday?
Can I get some route you’s are going on and I will see if I can meet up.

I will be comming out for Nowra, may be hooking up with a mate from southern part of Sydney so don’t care if I have to slab it a bit to catch up.
Will not be on a Scrapper unless you call a KLR650 a “Scrapper”, just doing the ride and will help out if I can in any way.

Yehaaa , all my scrapheap gear turned up today, if you want me to put your name on my shirt, which will be worn around our destination, just place a donation on my page or the old bulls donation page . Cheers Boony

Rider Update

Col Meacham – Team Inverell

Passed Rego, had a test run to town and back and now ready to go.

Top speed 95.7 kph downhill with an moving average of about 75kph.

Working dog Molly is on the front with the Team Mascot “Scrapper” on the back. Molly will not be going with me.

The fuel tank gives the bike some credibility. It was mounted on a DR for an Australian Safari a number of years ago. The bike, and tank, finished on the podium.

Wikepedia states the following,
Capacity – 180.2 CC
HP – 13.2 HP @ 7500 rpm
Weight 106.5 kg
Fuel Capacity – 6.2 lt

I say the following;

Performance – Marginal
Comfort – Marginal
Handling – Marginal
Reliability – We will see
Fuel Capacity – 16 lt
Scrapability – Perfect

Rider Update

Now we all remember Mick O’Briens GT750 Scrapper, well it is need of some major TLC after 2 Scrapheap Adventure Rides, so Mick has been stealthily and feverishly working away in the shed and managed to couple together this beast for 2013.

Its a big bang HRC CT125 and off the side is his home built sidecar. Please note his travelling luggage.

In local newspapers local graziers are expressing concern stating ‘These The Team Inverell guys really have the prices in the Ag bike market in northern NSW on the rise, wonder if they could ride some lambs next year’

Micks old GT750, which won best Scrapper in 2012
