PTW
No doubt you will know Mick’s NX blew a shock seal
Kram ripped in at my place and changed his rear tyre as I had grabbed one for him and Mick from ADV moto
Mick decided he wouldn’t do his, he was lucky there wasn’t any rain ad he saw half an inch of rain on the clay down there and :laugh: the Midas completed the whole trip in the end, here it is at the start
A few refreshments were had
The piglet loaded with Bundies pre abuse :laugh:
I would like to thank the following on behalf of OBT as we (OBT) were asked to help with this event. We lead, swept and provided support vehicles and trailers. The guys and gals below were asked along to help, some got to ride but they knew they had a lot to do
Clare for driving Boulders 4×4 towing a trailer, being on the radio and always smiling
Boulder for sweeping and helping with bikes etc evening after the days riding was well and truly over and carrying a radio
Deejay was always helpful, towed a trailer behind his 4×4 picked stuff up for peeps and was always super helpful very helpful on the radio when we were leaving a stop and when I was left on my own stopped on long plain rd :cheer:
Lauren Deejays better half for coming along, helping Deejay was great having her along
Pete the postman wolf carried a UHF radio which was super helpful and was always lending a hand when required and had a sweep to give Kram a break
Kram carried a radio, swept and carried tyre levers and displayed patience all ride as the sweeps sometimes travelled very very slowly
I had a great time, being asked to lead this ride was special the 3 days driving around down there pre running and checking the route was fun. Watching guys like Andy get out of his wheel chair and ride all day was amazing how he made it through sections he did not to mention how FAST he was :ohmy: Pezz on the big 460/4 getting along (well until Pete broke it
) was awesome.
It was a very busy weekend even when the riding was done fixing bikes, getting stuff setup and doing bits and bobs but so worth while and again thanks to everyone that pitched in and helped.
I fixed a postie (twice :laugh: ) BMWs, SR, XR, Steve’s 4×4 , exhaust on the super Ten, racks on a GT. Rode Pezz’s 460/4 pre Pete breaking the mascot bike we traveled some beautiful trails and tracks and some very awesome fast tracks on the way home including Long Plain Rd which is always a fav
I kept running out of rear brakes on the Tenere because the fluid is ten plus years old :laugh: and boiled as soon as you looked at the brake twice :laugh: I had to cool it a few times but it added to the adventure like Micks shockI enjoyed the big Tenere, thanks to Steve for lending it to me

TB
Well I had a cracker of a ride.
Made it home at about 6.45 pm after another awsome day on the bike. And while I’m really glad to be home and missed my family heaps, I’d love to keep going for another day or two :whistle:
A big thanks to all the good folk at Down Syndrome NSW and Pezz for all your work to make this a top event. I felt privileged to be apart and contribute in a small way to the event.
Top work TB and Steve from Adventure Moto for working out the route etc. Steve also went above and beyond in his support by donating heaps of fantastic prizes for the raffle draw.
Thanks heaps to Salina and TB for putting us up and feeding us all.
I had a great time sweeping with Boulder. It’s always tops riding with you and it was great to meet your better half. That’s not Fish by the way :laugh:
Loved the ride with team OBT back to Sydney. We punched out some big hours along some fantastic tracks and it’s always a pleasure to ride with you blokes
More to come later when I can get thoughts together.

Day 1
Posty Pete at Sackville ferry
Some of the crew waiting for the ferry
Thought Bollocks would like this pic as he calls everyone roota.
On the ferry
Oberon
Just one of the great roads we travelled
A regroup stop
A refreshing Schooner was required
Day 2
Pete’s posty required some surgery, so TB and him got in and gave her a carbyectemy
That may have caused his problem. A bowl full of crap.
TB taking her for a test ride.
The NX doesn’t mind a smoke first thing in the morning
Gunning main street
Mick, Pete and Kram……the three Amigos
Some where on the trail. Just before I saw Pete jump a postie further than they are supposed to jump.
A lake at Tumut.
Tumut power Station
Arrived at McPhersons Plains, time for a beer.
More later…..
Day 3
Gotta give it to TB, if he cant fix it, it is stuffed. Here he is doing his best to fix Pete’s back wheel after it broke 11 spokes from continued abuse.
There was plenty of postie bikes on the ride. Check out the pimpin’ pipe on this one!
The three Amigos’, palatial lodging.
Scrappers in a line on Saturdays ride.
Kram on corner man duties at Tumbarumba
Day 4
Yep, pretty sure that’s frost there TB. :laugh:
Stopped to take in the views.
Just to prove that the NX made it.
Milking fuel from Kram’s Pasha Bulka for the NX
The Big Tenere ran out of fuel on the freeway in Canberra, so TB had to milk the other Tanker that Pete was riding.
TB always has 2 GPS units, just in case one fails. After that you break out the trusty old poor mans GPS. A Map.
At 10pm we rolled into what appears to be somewhere in Bangkok. I was pretty glad to see the Penrith Pizza shop!
Looks like it was one big rolling party. Would be interested in a report on the Big Ten TB. They do look like a nice beast.

Neither GPS failed, sometimes you just need to get a map out to get your own bearings if that makes sense. Its like the GPS is telling you one thing and you internal compass is telling you another :laugh:

I did fix it :laugh: it is straight and true its just that Pete was offered Pezz’s bike for the saturday loop. It was a mission relacing it short 13 spokes but :laugh: (two broke as I was working on it
) the idea was to get it mobile and it is if it was all he hadTB
Elle!! :laugh:
GOLD. That sums her up nicely TB.
I didn’t suggest you didn’t fix the postie…… I was amazed with what you achieved with what you had to work with!
