Nice work Eagle, almost forgive you for soft c*&king the Hillend ride :dry: , the new trail we are taking would have suited you so much better.!

[Dwayne OMember]

Yeah Thanks for that TB,
I can take the criticism ,:angry: HA HA
Missus reckons that I could have possibly gone, “NOW she tells me”:blink: :blink:
Don`t matter, it is a big hassle for me to get down to Ziggy anyway,(no trailer etc) & the ks are a big doubt as I have had a nagging back the past few weeks.
Call me all the names ya can, send me a bag of cement to “harden the F%#@ UP”, I`m ready to cop it.:blush:

Cheers anyway & have a great ride guys

That stock standard little WR450F ridden by David Fretigne, is doing all right against those fully factory modified, massive engined KTM690s.

Hey Eagle, you could get a ride down with Moto and bunk at my place with evereyone else, and the route is a good one, and if ya soft back troubles you ya can chuck it in the trailer and rest for a bit, besides ya back has another two weeks to heal, there is no excuse for a real Old Bull is there?

I am going to try it on my next long ride. It should save about 1kg of weight off the bike, enabling me to go harder and faster.

Just throwing it out there that the KTM XC4 engine (new 450’s etc, not 690) can (supposedly) run on 125ml of oil :ohmy:

Hey I just found out, a bloke from Wauchope has come 11th in the Diesel powered 4×4 privateer section.
A big effort I reckon,for a local panel beater.

[GregMember]

If thats Bruce Garland, he lives in Sydney doesnt he, thats where I visited his panel shop and saw his race cars being worked on couple years ago after the Condo750.

This is part of an article about Bruce Garland and entitled “They call him Bruce” written by Bruce Moxon and reproduced with acknowledgement to Motor Racing Australia and Chevron Press.

His first rally as a driver was near Mackay, in his native Queensland in 1975 or ’76. Moving to Sydney, Bruce contested a rally near Bulahdelah, on the mid-north caost, when he was confronted by the Killer Mullet Rallye Team

Maybe he drove past Wauchope lol :laugh:

[Mick DMember]

Sorry TB, my facts were a little bit out.
He was infact a mechanic for the Garland team.
