Fish and I will be on our way tomorrow heading for Mildura to meet up with some old mates!!
The plan is to ride up to the Flinders ranges with them and have a day ride, then to ride over to the Gammon ranges to let TK’s ashes go in one of his favorite places. We will then ride back via Camerons cnr and then down to Broken Hill and home.
I am looking forward to meeting up with the old Sidetrack team and I am sure a few drinks will be had along the way!! :dry:
If we get a chance to find a computer we will post up some pics.
I have some OB stickers to post along our route.
Good onyas Boulder
Looks like there is a good turnout of guys attending TK`s memorial too (and rightly so)Keep the tyres on the ground hey
CheersHave great ride mate
Nice way to pay your respects to a biking legend.
Just arrived home, what a trip met up with some old mates from the Sidetrack days and met some really good blokes on a very memorable ride.
We arrived at Rusty’s place in Mildura and it was great to see so many old faces, after unloading the bikes we had a few beers and a great BBQ feed while we all caught up!!
After a good nights sleep our journey began and we headed for Blinman via Yunta and some great private farm tracks and really good roads with spectacular scenery.
Four hours in and we had a rider down and three and a half hours later he was taken out by the paramedics and we could continue. He punctured both lungs and tore his Aorta valve, he is in a stable condition in Adelaide Hospital.
We were late getting in to Yunta and had to ride in the dark dodging Roo’s and Emus.
After a good feed and a sleep we headed for Blinman.
It was a big night in Blinman with so many riders making the trip and a good night was had by all.Phil introduced us to MAD beer and its a top drop!!
Next morning and the Doc led us on a ride that had everything, we rode up some never ending creek beds and some great station tracks Awesome!!
Wednesday morning arrived and it was time to head for Arkarula and do what we had come for and put a mate to rest.
The view from TK’S resting place.
Thursday and time to head for the corner and home via Broken hill
We stopped for a swim at a bore.
Met an Old Bull along the way.
Great ride, in very good company. Tony would have been proud.Good stuff Boulder, Good As Gold mate
Looks like you blokes had a ripper of a time, put TK to rest where he will be able to look out over the country he loved so much, and had some dramas with old mate & his accident too :unsure:Thanx for sharing your trip mate
No flats TB. The dr’s were awesome and did the trip with little trouble.
I blew a battery and had to push start the big girl on the last day.
Both Fish and I broke the chain guides on the swing arms :huh:
I also broke the main frame and had to get it welded along the way :S but that was my bad too hard into the big boulders in the creek beds :dry:
We rode the bikes in terrain that they were not made for and considering this point they did it all very well.
I am really looking forward to getting her ready for the next adventure!!
Craig Hartley nearly talked us into a couple of KTM 990 while we were at the Corner, but alas we cant afford them at this point in time
Those Queensland boys punted those bikes fully loaded in the deep sand creek beds etc bloody awesome to see :woohoo:
It was a trip to remember and I cant wait to get out to the Corner country again soon.990s ha and you reckon a Tenere is heavy :laugh: lots of power but
destroy chains, sprockets and tyres :huh: lots of power but you are smarter than that but Broken frame ? WTF and pics, was it in the swing arm pivot area? Seen them crack there before

Deadset if you were from Tamworth and rode a DR (not you Boony) and were the sort that would look you would see better heads in a trough :laugh: :laugh:
