Well, it has begun kind of
Pete the Wulf made it to Destination OLD BULL HQ jst before 6pm to find Mick & Kram already there into it :laugh:
By Pete`s admission, he very nearly came unstuck on the Piglet where Mt Laggon Road meets the Putty :dry:
There is a spot where the dirt ends, the tar begins then right around a tight bend the Putty Rd is in your path :whistle:
Apparently, he was just hooking into it, enjoying the ride and Whamo, there was the Putty and he very nearly speared straight ahead across it !!!!! So the Piglet`s Emaergency Brake Test proved a successThe boys sounded in good spirits this arvo understandably, some last minute preparaions were going on I think, they were a bit busy to chat at length.
I wished them all the best once again and will be keeping tabs on the Spot Trackers from my phone at Nundle the coming 5 days :woohoo:For those that are interested in their progress, here are the Spot links I have,,,

April 5, 2012 at 2:53 am #219337:blink: Dam… What a start,,,
Would have been a Honda that broke down for sure… NX maybe,,, Pete made it looking at the spot …April 5, 2012 at 9:10 pm #219429Sorry Eags , Petes bike ended up on a trailer and wouldn’t pull over 45 kmh on a straight. Boulder also ended up on a trailer with electrical issues with the Drz

April 8, 2012 at 10:50 am #219340good to hear you all scrapped your way back …
April 8, 2012 at 12:05 pm #219341What a great weekend!! Lots of laughs and some much needed money raised for a good cause.
There where some interesting bikes and sidecars and some inspirational people riding in some stunning countryside.The DRZ went on the trailer at the end of day one for the last run into Gunning. :angry: We bypassed the ingnition switch and it didnt miss a beat for the rest of the trip.
I really enjoyed the whole event and had a great time sweeping with Kram and Pete the Wulf. Will try and get some pics up later today. Good to hear that the boys made it home safe and cant wait to read about there big day!! Boulder.
