TB,
If I bring a bottle of rum with me can I bring my bike along and join in!! I really need someone to guide me on what to do and not do.
I have locked myself in for organised ride from Perth to Airlie Beach in September (16days) this year (taking my bike). I know they will have support available but I prefer to go into this trip well prepared.
Kat :woohoo: :woohoo:
PS… I’m crazy but life is too short :unsure:
March 8, 2010 at 9:28 am #172827Alright a bike clinic then let me give it some thought and work out the best way to do it

March 8, 2010 at 1:07 pm #172692Was with my bike tonight… Decided to cancel the service as there really is nothing wrong with the bike. I know I will be hit up for at least $600 when I guess I don’t have to be paying anywhere near that price right now.
A “social service” with Bundies in hand sounds like a much better option. :laugh: :laugh: That way I can learn what there is to know and hopefully will be able to carry out many repairs myself.
Ollie, you are right! To not take advantage of an offer like that would be crazy!
Trailboss, It would be very much appreciated if you could show me a thing or two so im not so clueless when it comes to the mechanics of my bike hehe. Def Count me in!

March 9, 2010 at 2:47 am #172885TB it might get dirty if I ride it. I do ride it to work quite a bit, but hitting the trails is a luxury ATM.

:laugh:March 9, 2010 at 4:51 am #172887I’d like to learn how a cast piston can cost so much :ohmy:
Can you teach me that TB :laugh:
Seriously though if anyone does a ‘clinic’ with TB you will learn heaps. He has a knack for teaching.

So by that reconing Mick all your posts should be pure poetry, but all we see ever see is pure BS.

Then we can get on it :laugh:
