Cmon ,,,King,,,we all know it was the rivers fault..:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
OK, what happened,, we want all the gory details..:evil: 👿 👿 👿 👿
April 2, 2011 at 11:45 pm #199075There are no decent pictures sorry what happened was strong flowing deep river short legs. The 2nd time was short legs but pinned under the bike with head just above the water.
Still today did 54 crossings on the haunted stream track no problems rode Mt Pinnabar to the top on the fully loaded Tenere which was amazingBoony we have ridden some great country some stuff twice as hard as the Jurds ride
Eagle it doesnt float but the wolfman bags don’t leak
For those that haven’t got out to experience this Mt Pinnabar is a climb to over 1800m that was an hr of climbing what is rocky or slippery track, either one wheel track or the other
You guys should be concentrating on which two shared the double bed last night and it didn’t surprise me knowing what DR riders are like
Going to have some beers, if you aren’t here you loose

April 3, 2011 at 12:18 am #198954Yeah Mt Pinnabar is legendary, I have sen some good footage from there before,,,,,
I had Itsagas (Deano) here today for a chat & we spoke about you blokes down there & he said how steep , loose & rocky the country is down there:blink:
Well done to all of you,,,
Now get home safe & don`t go out to break Tiny`s record or anything :laugh:Cheers
Ps,,, the commuter is no more (leaving the Nest tomorrow) so let the hunt begin for the new steed :woohoo:
April 3, 2011 at 11:03 am #199079Yesturday was probably the best day I have had on a motorbike, the terrain we rode couldn’t have been more diverse. We started with endless winding twin track in and out of creeks along a beautiful valley floor , then we began an epic climb to get to the highest ride-able mountain in Australia.
The Tenere surprised me how it handled it all with ease and was only a bit of a handful on the very steep rocky downhills.
We ended the day with TB , myself and Fish racing from Tom Groggin to Thredbo for a beer , using every inch of the tyres round some fun twistys.Today we split from Mickp , lotsa, tryhard and motodude and the remaining 6 of us are off on another 3 day adventure …. Somewhere !!!! :woohoo:

YEAH,,,, Bring it on already
Us paupers that have to stay behind & work need a fix of the adventure:laugh:April 4, 2011 at 1:00 am #199083Nickj wrote:Yesturday was probably the best day I have had on a motorbike, the terrain we rode couldn’t have been more diverse.

It’s a Cracker of a ride on your Enduro machine (ask Hatto)……..I can’t imagine how difficult it would have been on a fully loaded road/ trail machine!!!
The view at the summit would have made all the swearing, sweat and concerntration worth while! And getting down in one piece safe and sound would have topped off a brilliant day!! ………..Envy City!
Well done and stay safe

April 4, 2011 at 3:45 am #199106Hi guys, just got home 11pm tonight. We had a great trip
Here is a link to Lotsas spot tracker as we split from the others this morning and the second days track will be different to Nick & TB as they went to Omeo to give TB’s bike a few oil changes to get the water out of the oil :sick: while I led the rest of the pack down to Ensay then to Dargo where we caught up again with Nick and TB
