    BTW, They are a piece of piss to install,,,,
    If I can do it so can you :)

    Most important bit is to attach the ceramic resistor somewhere solidly to avoid vibration if possible & protect the fine little wires coming out of it (somewhere that gets plenty of air flow also, it gets damn hot too) :whistle:

    Good Luck

    Cheers for the shed party Mick !!

    We had a great time at Micks and left feeling very dusty as expected !

    The ride out of wauchope and over the range was stunning , we started by riding the dirt from beechwood  up to Comboyne then through Elands for a look at Ellenborough falls

    We then headed for Nowenduc through a food varity of fire trails and logging tracks , it started by winding through farms until we were up on top of the range

    TB and Chicken

    We stayed up high in the hills for some time before dropping down into some dense forest. The recent storms left a fair bit of debris on the tracks so it was steady going with a few moments the hair pins 

    Nowenduc store was our next stop for one of the best burgers I’ve ever had ;)

    We came out of the store and it felt like  the temperature had dropped a good 10 degrees. It was bloody freezing and only got colder as we approached Nundle. It started to sleet in the pine forest so we made a beeline to Tamworth ASAP. Then it was straight in for fuel and bottle shop and over to Bollock place. He has a lovely propety just out of tamworth and holds a good shed party himself. 
    First Boony arrived , then snowy, house and buzz. We all stood around laughing at Bol trying to load Heidi and keep boony away from bols gps. Our only hope of making this trip !! It still mysteriously ended up in Arabic !!!! :D 

    Time to load up for the official start to the ride to the Ridge !! 

    :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

    520kms today great country counter lunch. Arrived here on the qld border just on dusk. Camp set up, Razor has a fire going that I am sure can be seen from space

    Bollocks has kept us all roaring with laughter when he has to get on and off, including a 40 sec series off kung foo kicks to the seat and even the foot pegs trying to get his leg over it ended in tears when finally he got on it fell over the other side

    Cartoon of xxxx is being consumed and dinner eaten. I was given a bottle of port today by a traveling wine salesman for being silly enough to be on a bike in the cold

    Off QLD tomorrow at back to lighting Ridge for a 3 hr mine tour

    Have been checking out your progress on the spot tracker. :) Looks like you took some interesting ways to Mungindi. I assume you were behind that Boll well done B) Nickj’s tracker is set up well and shows the trip perfectly. Safe riding guys have fun.
