    I hope your still keen Sneaky :whistle:

    It will be a great ride for you to get into the ADV spirit, some great back roads, good flowing trails and a couple of water crossings I reckon with the recent wet weather.
    Not to mention some good banter and a cool beverage with some lunch at Laguna B)

    You will be the only Yamaha at this stage though, surrounded by a fleet of growling Katos ranging from a 625, 690, 990 and an 1190 :laugh:

    I promise you won`t cop any flack though 😆

    And really, no need to be nervous about the ride, you`ll be fine (even riding a Yamaha) :P ;)

    Yeah pressure is on Sneaky, lucky its a Yamaha as you will need to tow those 4 shitboxes back more than likely. Good luck ever KTM rider should have one or these

    Done & dusted (well stuffall dust really) :laugh:

    In short before I go out for a family dinner,,,

    Had a good run, great guys to ride with from 3 different forums.
    Got lost in Cessnock back streets :whistle:
    Found the loop I wanted to do in Cedar Creek is cut :S
    Listened to Gazza and got threatened wit a 12 gauge up the ass :ohmy: :dry: 😆
    Diverted to Finchley via Boree then a fantastic Lamb Bolognaise for lunch with a beer at Laguna ;)
    Then Watagan Creek Rd is closed due to bridge washout,,,
    Run around the long way via Murrays Run and back over the Wattos B) B)

    255klms covered in great riding weather with some cool dudes ,

    Sounds Like a “interesting” day, better than sleeping all day after nightshift.

    Did you happen to take a run out to Yellow Rock while out Cedar Creek way ??

    Thanks EAGLE and guys for the run, can’t understand why old mate in the cruiser was so cranky it’s not every day he would get to see the latest from KTM and a new Tenere

    It was an interesting run Mud :laugh:
    Nah, the Cedar Creek bit was a blurr and a non event really, but that was what I was looking for I think :whistle:
    The maps show a trail that heads over to Paynes crossing, but we turned in to early then came back to do Yango Creek & head to Boree & Finchley

    Absolutely Bone Dry on Trapyard Crossing too :blink:

    I enjoyed tagging along just out of your dust and checking out your roost marks after the Pines :woohoo:
    Those couple of fourbies slowed me up though on a few bends

    Cheers mate

    Hey Eagle, thanks for a great day. I had a blast, it’s not every ride your threatened with a shoty & I saw so much more of Cessnock that I never new existed :laugh: The Tenere went well but definitely know why everyone gets the suspension done!! Some knobby tyres will also be a welcome addition :woohoo: Thanks to all the other boys for making it a great day, seeing Cowboy rip his 990 like a 350 Enduro was awesome & also hi lighted that my ADV riding days are definitely in their infancy, Thanks again all & I’ll see ya’s on the nxt one :)
    Cheers

    All good Sneaky ;) ;)
    I`ve been flat out since getting home yesterday, out for dinner last night.
    Had to go to Wyong & back this arvo after work to get a new Sub Tank for the Landcruiser, then fitted it tonight :S

    The 690 is sitting in the shed dirty & sulking :laugh:

    Looking forward to catching up again then mate when I get back from QLD !!!
    We can do many more runs like that (with the good bits added back in) B)

    Cheers
