I see they are back at Silverton now anyway. I am pretty sure they all trailered to that point anyway so no rescue trailer required I would think.

No recovery required Rocket, ADV riders are self recovering and still ride the night after a big nite on the piss :laugh:

I would guess the Owls and Deejay are towing Boulder down the highway and TB and Nick are off on their own adventure.

Nah Jeffro Fish towed Boulder down the slab for the last 400, Krusty and Gaz slabbed also.
Nick, DeeJay, Lotsa, Mickp and myself took the deep sand and 54 gate option dirt to the end ride and still beat them to the pub in Silverton

More later heaps more.

Am in the jump seat going through Bathurst at the minute looking forward to getting home. Deejay and I are going riding Monday on the single trail bikes who’s coming :woohoo:

The DR is here to stay, it is a great bike!! A few minor adjustments and I’ll be happy!
The first big ride was awsome, and the road to corner was the highlite of the trip, followed very close by the night at the corner!!! Including planking in 3 states :woohoo:

Krusty and Gaz chose to ride back with the brothers in case there were any other dramas as each time the group split we seemed to have one drama or another… It wasn’t all slab as 1/3 of the 340k still provided an opportunity for something to go wrong at 90-110 km h towing a bike… Making sure the boys got back to Silverton safely and had backup seemed to be the right thing to do than the deep sand and 54 gates option……..
