Boulder showed up Jeffro :laugh: Actually Boulder showed up everybody. Moose owns the Oxley HwyJeffro has a lovely bunch of coconuts :dry: And he is an ugly bitch
Bollocks is a legend. Mick again showed his lack of shed skillsYes I left the grip warmers on and had a flat battery :laugh: Mick’s tight arse jumper leads weren’t worth a knob of goat shit till Boulder, Jeffro and I fixed them while Mick, well Mick, Mick did, Mick walked around in circles :laugh: Mick got the NX going later in the day
Moose just giggled a lot, his knowledge of the tracks was invaluable cheers mate and cheers for the ride on Friday while sampled some bundies

June 12, 2010 at 11:39 am #181629What happened to the drz with the big fat tank?
June 12, 2010 at 11:41 am #181630One went belly up when a wheel bearing failed (have to go pick it up tommorrow) and the other went wee, wee, wee all the way home.
June 12, 2010 at 11:54 am #181633So wheel bearings are important? I should have a look at mine and maybe the cracks in the frame where the sidestand is attached it is nearly gone there is movement I need to get it welded up.So Jeffro what did you do to your big yellow banana?

It turns out that picture of the bridge you wanted to find, is the washed out one on Causeway road. You was the one wanting to cut the ride short if I remember right, you was the one not wanting to do the singles or any scary creek crossings where your feet might get wet. :laugh:
Of course Mick didnt fit the big tank to his XR because well he is Mick :laugh:
The T piece was the incorrect size, thus making fitting the tank futile.
I did go and get Mooses bike and fit the big tank to it though.
Boulder showed up Jeffro :laugh: Actually Boulder showed up everybody.
Couldn’t believe my eyes when Boulder rocked down my Driveway at 7am after riding from Berowra. Now that is hard core. Awesome effort.
Moose owns the Oxley Hwy
That he does
Jeffro has a lovely bunch of coconuts :dry: And he is an ugly bitch
Bloody coconuts :laugh:
Bollocks is a legend.
Also very brave, lucky his missus didn’t wake up in the car parked out the front of my shack on Friday night
Mick again showed his lack of shed skills
Whatever, at least I didn’t smoke any durries.
Yes I left the grip warmers on and had a flat battery :laugh:
Even after saying you need a little light to tell you when they are on.
BTW “Tenere” is an aboriginal word :laugh: Did anyone know that they are made in France???? WE do, TB told us 10 times on Friday night.
Mick’s tight arse jumper leads weren’t worth a knob of goat shit till Boulder, Jeffro and I fixed them while Mick, well Mick, Mick did, Mick walked around in circles :laugh:
It took 3 of you to fix them??? Big job that. They cost me $17, 20 years ago and have served me well untill you got hold of them.
Mick got the NX going later in the day
Yep I came to terms with the NX later in the day after I worked out all her idiosyncrasies and how to ride around the flat spot. I had a ball on the old girl.
Moose just giggled a lot, his knowledge of the tracks was invaluable cheers mate and cheers for the ride on Friday while sampled some bundies
Mooses knowledge?? Ummm I think I may have lead the ride through to Mt George. Moose had less idea where we were going than I did.
Sampled some Bundies??? Two long necks and 9 cans goes way beyond the definition of sampleIf you put enough clothes on you cane be warm and comfortable
More to come later, pictures etc and a full report maybe

Hopefully that clears a few things up.
Hey everybody, did you know Teneres are made in France???
June 12, 2010 at 9:07 pm #181645So in translation ! does tenere mean, frogs legs :laugh:
wee,wee!

June 12, 2010 at 11:17 pm #181646Wow what happened here I wrote my quick points about the weekend and it seems Mick has run with the hook, trace, bait, line , rod, boat and motor :laugh:
:laugh: :laugh: That wasn’t my intention but hey let me straighten it out

Fact one we didnt do the track thats all I said wasn’t it, you after talking with Moose changed it before the first turn. Feet wasn’t an issue I only reminded you that 3 of us had a lot of riding on a cold day to do after you left us (I got home at 8.30pm). And yes I wasn’t keen with the incorrect way i had loaded my bike to do any singles (and I mean 1st 2nd gear) as were you from memory
Of course Mick didnt fit the big tank to his XR because well he is Mick :laugh:
The T piece was the incorrect size, thus making fitting the tank futile.
I did go and get Moose’s bike and fit the big tank to it though.
The T piece was the wrong size because the ex mechanic under instruction was told to buy some fuel line but was to tight kept saying he had some about a foot being the quote. Hose was wrong tee piece was wrong :laugh: The guards stopped it as i said they had to come of better on the NX anyway
And Moose helped then finished his bike of I can remember watching him struggle with the side covers :laugh:
Boulder showed up Jeffro :laugh: Actually Boulder showed up everybody.
Couldn’t believe my eyes when Boulder rocked down my Driveway at 7am after riding from Berowra. Now that is hard core. Awesome effort.
Yeah one of the most hard core efforts I have ever seen, Mick and I were dumb founded when he said he was doing it go Boulder
Moose owns the Oxley Hwy
That he does
Without excuses
Jeffro has a lovely bunch of coconuts :dry: And he is an ugly bitch
Bloody coconuts :laugh:
Bloody coconuts :laugh:
Mick again showed his lack of shed skills
Whatever, at least I didn’t smoke any durries.
No no durries very well done and told you i thought a top effort, no no durries but you spent to night cleaning air filters over cleaning air filters :blink:
Yes I left the grip warmers on and had a flat battery :laugh:
Even after saying you need a little light to tell you when they are on.
Yeah got to get a light for that :blush:
BTW “Tenere” is an aboriginal word :laugh: Did anyone know that they are made in France???? WE do, TB told us 10 times on Friday night.
I told you, then Moose when he turned up and whenever someone turned up I told them when they asked about my bike. You would be better served to stop eavesdropping sir :laugh: :laugh:
Mick’s tight arse jumper leads weren’t worth a knob of goat shit till Boulder, Jeffro and I fixed them while Mick, well Mick, Mick did, Mick walked around in circles :laugh:
It took 3 of you to fix them??? Big job that. They cost me $17, 20 years ago and have served me well untill you got hold of them.
Bullshit thats bullshit, the leads came from a toy set Conner had as a kid, you wouldn’t pay 17 bucks for them today let alone 20 years ago you tight bastard :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
The earth clamp was broken you told us when you handed them over, when hooked to a battery and ends touched together NO SPARK CAUSE LEADS ROOTED until Jeffro Boulder and I fixed them the cheap lead had the ends crimped and had corroded it the clamps once fixed just did the job. Because they all are rooted the resistance is through the roof and the voltage loss is real high but we just got it started
Mick got the NX going later in the day
Yep I came to terms with the NX later in the day after I worked out all her idiosyncrasies and how to ride around the flat spot. I had a ball on the old girl.
Great old bus that bike
Moose just giggled a lot, his knowledge of the tracks was invaluable cheers mate and cheers for the ride on Friday while sampled some bundies
Mooses knowledge?? Ummm I think I may have lead the ride through to Mt George. Moose had less idea where we were going than I did.
You lead yes cause at every turn you made and many times you stopped at an intersection to get advice from Moose didnt you :huh: was that just to stare into his eyes :laugh: :laugh: relax you cant know it all I am sure you knew a lot of the areas but I was thanking Moose as well. I thanked you last night for the hospitality and the ride didnt I sleepy :laugh: :laugh:
Sampled some Bundies??? Two long necks and 9 cans goes way beyond the definition of sample
Yeah thats a sample by definition :laugh: :laugh:

June 12, 2010 at 11:47 pm #181615Friday arvo and I was in a bad frame of mind had a s#@t day and was thinking about a mate of mine who has ridden more k’s around this country than anyone I know and is now fighting a horrible disease. I went on OB’s and saw that the boys were doing a ride from Wauchope to Gloucester, so I sent TB a text and finished my glass of red and went to the shed to swap tanks on the Banana.
Saturday morning up at 230 and on my away by 250 forgot how cold it is at that time of day!! Met the boys at micks at 7.00 and had the best coffee thanks Mick.
We jump started the Tenere because TB would’nt accept a tow from a Banana even though the Yamaha has a hitch at the front made for the job and off we went on our wauchope to Gloucester adventure!!
Mick and Moose showed us around there back yard and we rode some really good dirt roads and saw some great countryside with a few water crossings thrown in to test our boots.
Brunch at Gingers creek and then off to ride some more good roads before we parted company with the Wauchope boys in a small town outside the pub with no beer!! cant remember the name of the place but thanks guys for a great day.
Our adventure continued on our way home with Jeffro’s Banana spitting the dummy and having to be left at a property for collection at a later date.
Jeffro kept TB nice and warm on the trip home from here as he tested the tenere’s rear shock!
A great days riding with some great company as always with Old Bulls.
891 K’s on the clock for the day and the Banana didnt complain once!!June 13, 2010 at 12:03 am #181648Good Job Boulder, keep me in the loop regarding TK please mate.
TB
June 13, 2010 at 12:47 am #181616891ks :blink:
That`s a big day mate, especially on a Banana seat :dry: :unsure: Those things are like a fence paling :laugh:
At least the weather was kind to you all, 891ks in the rain would have been real poo,,,June 13, 2010 at 2:22 am #181617There was a theme song for the ride apparently ??? Whats the go Jeffro ??? :laugh: :blink:
I`m sure Good Old Bollocks will be able to sing this one for ya at Wauchope in a few weeks
