If I can do it so can youMost 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

June 22, 2011 at 10:30 am #203830Cheers 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 ChickenWe 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 !!!!Time to load up for the official start to the ride to the Ridge !!
:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
June 22, 2011 at 12:19 pm #203732Looks like you are on a shed crawl here boys
when does the riding start?? Its a good job you have Chicken there to keep you all on the srtaight and narrow
Keep the RR coming Nick
June 22, 2011 at 12:24 pm #203836Getting ready on a frosty morning
Bollocks sporting his new Sidi crossfire in BMW colours of course !!
After a 1 km ride to maccas we rode another km to the bike shop for repairs !!
Tb is happy to be in a Honda shop getting the BMW fixed !!

June 22, 2011 at 11:58 pm #203850520kms 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

June 23, 2011 at 12:29 am #203871Gotta love the internet and iphone technology. Here we are getting live updates of an adventure ride……Ten years ago…….Who’d of thought. :huh:
Glad all is going well lads.
June 23, 2011 at 12:46 am #203734Have 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
Nickj’s tracker is set up well and shows the trip perfectly. Safe riding guys have fun.
