I’ll be running Bridgestones – ED77 front ED78 rear

Tryhard ran them on his 690 on the High Country ride and was happy with them, so I’ll see how they go

I an the ED78 last year on the Cameron ride and Marlow used the same tyre on the recent Northern Rivers Ride and I was happy with the wear

We did both crash a lot though !!!! :pinch: :laugh: :whistle:

Mick I can only imagine is worried about weights after he has just welded the arse of the kato back on :laugh: :pinch:

Sutto told me last week “The 690 is a good adventure bike but they cant carry the weight we do adventure riding”

I will weigh mine maybe this week if I can get time and Lefty is available

TB

After about 23k’s I dont think its too bad to have a stress crack in the rack. The mods were to the KTM rack to fit 2 struts up from the rear peg mounting brackets and an extra brace onto the top of the tank making it similar to the Touratech 690 rack.

I seem to remember a Tenere rack having pubside repairs not long ago :whistle:

As long as I dont have problems on the track

Yes a rack on Nicks bike broke whats that got to do with the back breaking on your KTM :laugh: It wasn’t the bike it was the rack

Details for the 1st Sat phone, Looks easy enough to use

The Isat Rental Phone is Connected and ready for use.

The details are:

SIM: 898709911416163812
Master MSISDN: 870776470424
PIN 1: 8888
PUK 1: 47435215

The Inmarsat ISatPhone Master MSISDN number provided above is your phone number, and includes within it an International Country Code equivalent. It is an International Satellite phone number, so you can be anywhere in the world and receive a call with the same dialling protocols as outlined below.

I am quite keen on receiving feedback on how the phone goes for you, so I have feedback from actual users!

CALLS OUT FROM THE ISATPHONE

Calls FROM the ISatPhone should be dialled using the following protocol:

LANDLINES
• + (or 00); then
• 61 (for calls into Australia); then
• A (where this is the Area Code, less the first zero … e.g. 2 for NSW/ACT, 3 for TAS/VIC, 7 for QLD or 8 for NT/SA/WA); then
• the phone number
• EXAMPLE: To call me, you dial +61262809447; or 0061262809447.
MOBILES
• + (or 00); then
• 61 (for calls into Australia); then
• the mobile phone number LESS the first zero
• EXAMPLE: To call the mobile number 0400123456 you dial +61400123456 or 00400123456.

The first method with a + is the one that I have tried and tested successfully.

CALLS IN TO THE ISATPHONE

Calls to the ISatPhone should be dialled using the following protocol

From Within Australia:
• 0011 (to get out of the Australian network and into the International network)
• The Inmarsat ISatPhone Master MSISDN number provided above.
• EXAMPLE: If a friend or family member from within Australia wants to call you, they dial 0011870776470424

SMS – You can send an SMS TO the phone for free by visiting http://www.inmarsat.com/Services/Land/IsatPhone/default.aspx?language=EN&textonly=False and clicking on the RIGHT side link to ‘Send a free SMS to an ISatphone PRO’ link. Plug in the phone number, and write the text! Easy! You can also send an SMS into an ISatphone Pro via email using the protocol: isatphone#@message.inmarsat.com.
This means that if your number 870776470424, your SMS address would be : 870776470424@message.inmarsat.com.
