    Again it’s a fantastic write up I also checked through some results last night and I am sure it is the highest finish by an Old Bull at Finke. Next best about 100 spots behind in 2010 was Sb-250y, without detracting from sb’s result at all because a finish there in the first 50% is a great effort but given his race experience (safaris, condos, yellow mountains etc) it puts into perspective just how well you did mate one bike same tyres with your Dad cheering you on AWESOME!

    Any one who finishes this race is a bloody legend very well done Gibbit. Chris Thomas from Moree(OBT revthemobkey) placed 5th in his class and 50th outright. apparently had a big off over the bars but pulled through.

    Chris was supposed to ride a YZ250 2 banger but was having engine issues before he went out. So he used a bike they had traded in. So to get that result with a bike with no suspension work or previous history is bloody awsome.

    OH YEAH it has!!!!
    But the finances aren’t with me. I’ve had the Air Con crap itself twice this year at $700 each time (bloody green frogs), so there goes any chance of Finke this year.

    Pretty keen for Yellow Mountain though, if I’m still on the eastern side of Aust. I am currently applying for mining jobs in WA at Newman and Tom Price.

    I have a new steed too!!
