    Also looks like Ace & Strucky lost some time with the lost phone dramas :whistle:
    I don`t think they will push to Narrabri tonite now,, not quite in Barraba yet and light is fading fast!!!! :pinch:

    Mt Kaputar would be near suicide in the dark :blink: not to mention the waste of a good view,,,
    That`s why it`s called “ADVENTURE RIDING”,,, Stop wherever you like (or get too) :laugh:

    I have just gotten off the phone from TB. He has ran out of fuel about 3km out of Cunamulla :whistle: after the place that they wer going to get fuel had a broken pump :dry: ( Eulo I think), but all is good and they are going fine. They will probably stay a Cunamulla tonight as the roos are hopping around. :huh: :huh:

    Crash and PTW have headed in to fill the bladders to get TB some fuel but all is good at this stage. ;)

    NOPE,,,
    They have made a late dash for Narrabri !!! GO BOYS :laugh:
    I watch the link on TERRAIN MODE not satellite or map… Gives a much better view of offraod trails they are taking as well as the Topo elevation ;)

    TB out of fuel ??? Now there`s a turn up for the books,,, I think that would be a first and he would have been pissed :pinch: Obviously he has been harder on the Go Stick :laugh:

    All good B)

    So much has happened already and it’s only day 1. I’ll be exhausted by the end of the ride. :laugh:

    I also didn’t know that watching 3 Spots throughout the day would be so involved (in a good way that is), there is a good chance that my work productivity over this ride may suffer a little. :whistle:

    For anybody that has just joined us, here is a quick recap of the rides adventures so far.

    Team one – Crash, TB and PTW

    Three (possibly smelly) guys hit the road in a dubious truck and headed west. Two of them were very drunk before getting through the Hunter.

    A strip tease (of sorts) was performed for all at a service station by a bare-chested Crash, complete with a face full of what appears to be Pizza. (Sorry ladies, I think he’s taken!).

    PTW was the first of the flock to hit trouble with a flat tire. Word on the street is that this was a staged event so he could have a road side break and build the drama for the views at home.

    TB’s Spot tracker had a small hiccup and took a while to catch up (much like his normal mental state). No real drama’s there.

    The planned fuel stop had no fuel, so the three guys (almost definitely smelly by this stage :sick: ) pushed on and as a consequence TB ran outta fuel. Or was it that he was a little heavy handed on the throttle?? Will we ever know the truth?? B)

    Team Two – Ace and Strucky

    Great progress made early, until an AWAL mobile phone caused a longish stopover in Tamworth. But thankfully they got outta there before the locals made their move. Actually I’m surprise the King didn’t come to their rescue, he mustn’t have known they were there. :ohmy:

    Ace has been asked to put his bike over truck weigh bridges several times which probably slowed progress. :P :huh:

    A final push has seen them get to Narrabri, hopefully safe n sound for a well deserved beer. :woohoo:

    In the next episode…..
    Will TB continue to run out of fuel and make excuses for it?
    Can PTW’s comedic styling’s keep him from being eaten?
    Can Crash keep his shirt on?
    Will Ace’s lift raft inflate when needed?
    Is Strucky back in the world of technology?
    Will the two teams meet up at the required time?
    Can I keep the bullshit up for the whole ride? 😆 :blink:

    Stay tuned for more adventures tomorrow…….or make comment on it all tonight……the choice is yours.
    None of the information expressed here has any truth to it or bares the endorsement of the riders. In fact most of it is made-up and fact less for your enjoyment.

    OK, The woodduck, the Wulf and Hoppy have arrived safe in some small town…Eulo or something :blink:

    Apparently the wildlife on the road was intense, but they are all safe and either at the pub or heading there.
    They went to Cunnamulla for fuel and back to Eulo??

    Tomorrow they are off to Quilpi and beyond…..??
