Nabiac Museum ADV Ride Weekend 5th/6th Feb 2011

[dennis da menaceMember]

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Not really an adventure
So we call it ADV, its tuffer

Yeah, darling
You can follow us
And tow the trailer in case im spent
Meet us at the cafe for a latt’e
And bring the Canesten cream

I like smoking Durries
With my heavy mocha Latt’e
When it starts a raining
Its a tree I’m hiding under

Yeah, darling
Please pick me up
My gloves are wet and my toes are cold
i spent all my money on pies
And im too fat to ride

Like a redheaded, mislead stepchild
When we ADV
We think we’re wild
On a caffeine high
Never want to die

Born to be Mild
Born to be Mild

you used to be cool boony. :dry:

youve changed man :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[GregMember]

Don’t worry Boony as funny as Menaces song is I remember him talking about wanting to go adventure riding up the Flinders :laugh: :laugh:

This is a soft ride but :laugh: Although the Sydney crew are doing 400kms Friday, camping and then doing nearly 300 Saturday camping Saturday night and riding home

booby don’t buy the bigger fuel tank, grip earners, racks,spotlights, colostomy bag or self flushing urinal . just put the banana on the trailer and tow it, same trip but no dust and just as challenging.

I`m fitting a flushing out house to the DRZ for the trip!!!!I went to lounges plus and got some suspension upgrades today..I`m all set to go.

[glennMember]

Ok,,the predator light is off the DRZ and a new more ADR looking and probably more practical light has been fitted,she looks like many other DRZs now :angry: Mirrors and rear guard bag are next, then the grip warmers will go on,,,NOT :ohmy:
new front sprocket will go on when it turns up, and the smaller rear sprocket will be going on soon..

I want me dirt bike back ahhh well its for a good cause, to catch up and have a beer with some mates

Boony the adventure virgin :cheer:

Don’t come then Boony :laugh: :laugh:

You didn’t need you change anything though really maybe a sprocket really only a front 15 will do it. You have chosen a soft cock main dirt road route :blink: I dont understand why, you reckon you had singles to Gingers, well then there would be fire trails over there as well. Why not get a good route rather than the dirt road?

Also what good cause???? It’s just a bike ride and a piss up

One last thing, you said you want you dirt bike back. I only saw the DR in the picture, where is the dirt bike you are missing :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

we never got to pre ride all the fire trails or single trails,, the softcock mains will do for this ride, and I really want to put the old girl back to looking adr compliant for this trip. I needed a decent light for some night rides in the forest i have in the wings???

[GregMember]

Night rides good fun if need a hand finding something al little more exciting re the ride to where you are meeting the mayor I can help

I dont know if the whole ADR thing is that important for the route you are going, it’s not a all bad idea I guess it can’t hurt

Don’t forget your stubbie holder

Righto, the northern guys route.

Leaving the Timbertown log at 8.30am, we will head through Bago SF on some fire trails and a couple of easy singles, then through the Lorne State forest to Comboyne Rock. (if it is a nice day, if not we will give the Rock a miss and head through Elkhorn Rock road.One of my most favourite trails.
We will bypass Comboyne township through a property that has a cracker view( I call it shaggers rest). From there it is 24kms of main gravel road to Elands and Elenborough Falls. (Approx 80km) Back to Elands Store for refreshments and fuel. (not sure about eftpos so bring cash). From there we go across the Bulga Plateau to Blue Knob Lookout and depending on time we may slip down into the Cells for a quick loop through Blue Mountain creek Road. Then it is onto Nowendoc road via Dingo Tops.WE will probably meet the Tamworth guys here. A quick run through 6kms of nice tight corners on the tar, we will be back onto the gravel headed for Bundook and Krambach Approx 80km, Krambach is the fuel stop and a beer at the Krambach Hotel before we do the last short section to Nabiac.

I haven’t worked out which way to come home yet and I am open to suggestions.

[Nick JacksonMember]

Good stuff , both options look great, I’m going to ride to Sydney as I need a bit of work done on the Tenere and my mate who bought Suttos 690 is coming and we havent ridden together for 12 years then I’ll ride to Nabiac with the Sydney crew. then ride back to wauchope with Micks crew.
