heeeeyyy heeeeyy boo boo! Don’t you love them pic–er–nic baskets?
March 27, 2011 at 12:32 pm #189353I think I’m finally getting organised, truth be known I’m as nervous as a pooch passing peach pips.
Got looking at the joblist to get Ol burple ready for 8 days of fun, then went and bought a new DR 650. Picked that up on friday arvo, and managed to rack up a few hundred kays over the weekend. Pretty good, but will tweak over the next couple of days. Any chance of a lend of that airhawk Nick? I think the seat may have been made of concrete by mistake!
Also replaced some of my camping gear that failed so miserably on the Camerons ride.
Anyway, looking forward to just getting on the bike and going.
See you at Gunning,
MooseMarch 27, 2011 at 4:19 pm #198821Moose , the air hawk is all yours on the 10th April mate !!
Seriously you can have it for the ride once we get to Sydney !

You have to go about 80kms from Sydney to start on the dirt. We are going over the mountains and out through Cox’s River with some exploring along the way. No promises but will be doing the best we can to avoid the black top especially main roads.
Welcome to join if you want

MooseHey Moose, I new you would see the light mate!!
My seat has 30,000 on it and still feels like your sitting on a bag of hammers :ohmy: Have packed the Rectinol and all are welcome but no double dipping allowed.:dry: Looking forward to seeing the new steed on Thursday.

:ohmy: :ohmy: WTF :ohmy: :ohmy: Bloody DR riders, Moose you used to be cool
March 28, 2011 at 7:21 pm #198786Well the bike is packed and ready now. That is me for 8 days that includes sleeping gear, tent and all my dinners and breakfasts everything.
And I stopped and picked up your supplies as well Nick that you wanted :laugh: Got you an extra large tea spoon as well
The ride should be named 2500kms in 7 days because only the soft ones are trailering to the start and getting out halfway :laugh: :laugh: Its just like Buladelah all over again

March 28, 2011 at 7:23 pm #198908Dont forget to drop in for a beer if yous get anywhere near my place :laugh:
March 29, 2011 at 7:20 am #198909Dropped in at Moose’s yesterday arvo and was gob smacked to see him standing there half cut with a beer in his hand, watching his dear wife Cathy load his bike for him!! :huh:
Talk about spoilt!! Either that or she cant wait for him to piss off!! :laugh:I have to admit , I had a twinge of envy when I saw his bike all loaded up for another adventure. :blush: I spose I will get over it. I will be thinking of you blokes next week when I am sitting on the beach in Vanuatu.
Enjoy the trip boys!!
March 29, 2011 at 9:16 am #198920Well the NX is locked and loaded and I’ve got about an hour before heading off to meet Moose and Nick.
I’m starting wonder what I’ve forgotten and what I haven’t done to the bike. I hope the Old Girl makes it OK.
Let the adventure begin :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Catch you ladies and gentlemen in about 8 days
