We couldn’t meet back up because I hadn’t written your number down sorry Axel :blush:

We did singles behind the olds and over the back into the bush and the pines.

I would have shown you a heap more over there on the northern side if you know where to access it, maybe next year after my shoulder is back to new and I can throw the bike around a little better as I am to nervous about damaging it more at the minute

Thanks to the dubbo boys for what was a great days riding

Axel or Grant?,
Thats a mad trailer with the flip up lids you got there.

With a couple of bars like on a ute you could whack a tarp on it for camping.

[AlexMember]

That’s Grant’s trailer. Took some brain work and effort to get it to that state.
RHS chassis, aluminium sheet over steel skeleton. Checker plate nose. Not as heavy as it looks. That IS a Volvo towing it you see.
There is a cover that slides into aluminium rails in the edge of each lid so when it is opened up there is a cover across the top.
A little more to do to waterproof the nose and it’s nearly finished.

I will post some pics I took shortly.

Yeah two banger all the PPE wont as it should, pays to have it for sure

I checked the bash plate out today as I thought thats got to be bent in someway because it was a hard hit. Well I have to give Whipps bash plates a huge rap because I hit that tree bloody hard and it isnt bent as all.

TB

Those photos of the tree and the bash plate where enough for me,I rang Whipps and ordered a bash plate for my Fiddy. They are personally delivering it to me on Friday.
$199.00 is cheap ongoing insurance I think. TB,do you have to take yours off to do an oil change?

No dont need to, just be careful when doing the filter

I am assuming so,I told him I wanted the same one that was on your bike. He said he had one in stock and would polish it up and drop by my office on Friday.
