June 13, 2011 at 1:02 pm #203005Ok. Bourke is blue sky and not a cloud in sight. We’ll give it a real crack today.
Figured out it takes us an hour and a half to get our Shit together in the mornings. And that’s staying at a motel. Imagine camping in the mud and rain and trying to load peannniers. How good are those motel hair dryers ? Not for the hair style…..boots gloves and jock dry. Worth the money just for that.
Be back in contact when I get signal. Happy days.June 13, 2011 at 1:03 pm #203176Go hard or go home mate
look forward to an update from near the corner

Fuel filter possible cause of bike running like crap. No power above 3000rpm.[attachment=2569]IMAG0549.jpg[/attachment]
Sprocket and hub came clear of the rubber coosh drive and started wearing through the swingarm. How thick did the Germans make that swingarm metal?[attachment=2570]IMAG0550.jpg[/attachment]

June 17, 2011 at 3:56 pm #203010On the blacktop well and truly. The Dakar just eats up the k’s and is very comfy. Not many cars and the speed limit seems to be whatever your comfortable with. Tyres still in great shape. Done 2700km now and they are still 95% IMO.
Judge for yourself.

How do you feel they’re handling the ride i.e. grip on dirt, mud and tar? (no endorsement intended :laugh: )

Told you they were a good thing, honestly no one gives me tyres or anything really for that matter so if I try something and it’s shit I will say so ! That why I love reading bulls thoughts on products they have paid for I think it’s a little more honest.
The rear gripped as well as Nicks 606, be interested in your thoughts on the front Trev as I haven’t used one yetTB
