    Well for those going I have just been down the Sutto’s and spoken with Mal as he has helped with the route change down the Putty to Colo Heights, thanks Mal

    I cant decide if I should fit my 17 or 30 litre fuel tank, I have never fitted the 30L before.

    Chicken has his 24L, Boulder his big tank which I think is over 25L and as I said Crash has his 30L all ready fitted ready to go so there will be enough fuel for the couple with standard tanks

    The ED 78 Bridgestone that has now done just under 800kms on the rear is still looking real good and will see the trip out..

    Its all coming together I think we will stay at Farmers Arms Hotel in Bathurst
    It has a nice snug bar complete with the old fridges behind the bar, roaring open fire etc.

    Try doing it in a semi with an air ride seat, I stuffed my neck when my head hit the roof going thru the dippa at only about 40 kph. Try explaining that to the boss for the compo forms.

    Yeah it will be a great ride but its full at 7 because of the distance we are traveling and because there are only 4 stops planned all day in the 450kms and it starts at 5.30am not everyone’s cuppa

    For the record TB I will need the start point address as I haven’t been there before.

    p.s. I will be ordering a rear tank this week to be sure fuel wont be a problem.

    Buy yourself a brass fuel tap and a brass T piece instead of the plastic ones that comes with the tank, if you have any dramas I have fitted two of those tanks on DR’s, the fuel line routing can be a little tight on a doctor.

    Will PM you the start address and my number if you have a question when fitting the tank.

    This ride is going to be bigger than Hitler’s gas bill !!

    This Pub bring back a few good memories/hangovers. Used to be owned by a good friend of the family till a few years back. Think they may even still own it but lease it out.

    Just a thought for all those going on the this massive ride, we in order to make the klms are leaving at 5.30ish in the morning and will be entering the Watagans in the dark, we will be doing some little used twin and single trails if the rain stays away and it will be very very dark

    Last years christmas Party I mounted some high intensity LED lights to each side of my helmet, they are quick release so in the event of a fall (not likely) they will come of and not impend the helmet. I will hand them over to the support vehicle at the first time we see them at the 180kms mark

    The camera is flat so here’s a picture I got the idea from, they are used in the Baja 1000

    Just an idea as it will be dark
