Bugger,,,

Anyway I remember that Kamakazi Rocket was paired up with Me & Ace for the weekend, poor him :laugh:
Welcome aboard KR, should be a hoot of a weekend, just bring your sense of adventure, your best navigation eyes and a cast iron gut :laugh:

Also saw that Steve (Wolfy) chimed in and has a couple of special guests coming along, Mr Payne from Yamaha Aus and Jason Barrett from Barrett Exhausts Awsome

I also posted the link for the maybe proposed route I might take on the friday arvo to Mittagong,

Any other Hunter based riders have any other ideas or keen to hook up for the group ride down maybe.
Will probably change my departure time to 3pm (Newy area) to accommodate PTW if he is keen to ride rather than drive to Wisemans ,,, No real adventure in that and cuts the ride time way too short

This will be a crackerjack run as TB sure knows how to peice together a terrific ADV route and thanks to him, we get to share it and follow along at our own pace

Bring it on, I can`t wait !!!!

I’ll be doing a similar route down eagle. Not sure what time though due to work. Would be good for the coasties to group down together

[Dwayne OMember]

No wuckers Lotsa,,,
Let us know closer to Thurs and if we can hook up we will

Bit of a boring run to get there, but some decent back roads just the same, and the weekend will be well worth it

Cheers

Yee Haa,,,
Time for prep to get underway (I have a busy week ahead so best get it done before Monday)

* Oil change done
* Rewired the LED spots for justin (that is guessing on a late return home on the Sunday) 1600 lumens outta help :whistle:
* Got the GPS mounted and hard wired (that`ll be better than batteries all weekend and enable the backlight to stay on if needed too)
* Air filter cleaned and Motul applied (filter skin and a spare as well)
* A quick Nuts and bolt check over tonite

Tomorrow
* Whack on the Touratech racks and panniers (check through and lighten the gear, camp gear not required)
* Throw some gear (clothes and charge leads for the phone & tech shit) into the dry bags and that`s about it

[Mick PilgrimMember]

I’ll be heading off about midday from the Central Coast and taking a bit of a scenic route down to Mittagong with another old mate if anyone can get away at that time.

Got a bit of maint. to do on the bike as well – back tyres dont last very long on the 990.

Looking forward to the ride as I haven’t been on a bike since the Coffs ride.

Mick

[Dwayne OMember]

Will see you there then Mick , for a few brews no doubt

I`m pretty much done with the prep now after tea ,, couldn`t help myself !!!
Adjusted the clickers allround, threw the racks and panniers on, just need to throw in a few clothes and that`s it :whistle: :laugh:

It`s gonna be a long week wait now :pinch:

[Dave WigginMember]

Hey Amy, presume you have a spot tracker because I don’t!

Challenging nav. Zooming in, zooming out, what’s all this? I might bring my sextant and almanac. That’ll make me even slower (if that were possible).

Sounds like I should be shitting bricks as well as sweating bullets.

Bloody lunatics the lot of ye.

Hey !!!

We resemble that remark :laugh:
You`ll be fine Wiggy, the Tiger ate it up last trip

See you at Mittagong friday

[Dwayne OMember]

All prepped, packed ready to ride (except fuel)

Hey TB will you still be Tiger mounted , or will the Ten be back on the job ???
As soon as Pete commits to departure (bike or car) I will be setting my time for lift off.
Will either be 2 or 3pm friday :woohoo:

I spoke to a Mittagong local today at the Newy Camping Expo, he reckons we are staying at what they call the “TOP PUB”, and it is a very popular location for bike riders of all types. Pretty common start point for dirtbikes and ADV groups he reckons ,,,, Just thought if there happens to be any Harley dudes there , TB will be able to wave at them madly again :whistle: :dry: :unsure:

See you all there in the other “Gong” :laugh:

[GregMember]

The Tenere is home and a goer but not going on this trip. Being part of the ADV X team means I am involved in the development of “Project Tiger” We have with help of course from Teknik’s done a part one suspension setup that I will be testing on the weekend. Looking forward to seeing the difference of the suspension now we have completed the budget setup.

TB

[Dwayne OMember]

That will be cool to see , and hear about the progress / plans

Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]

C`Mon guys,

Sign up No good sitting back thinking abut it, get onboad for an allround entertaining weekend.
I`m sure there`s room for a few more and even possible to swag it on the floor in Pub rooms if you dan`t want to camp,,,,

Catch ya`s all on friday evening (those luck enough to be going that is) :woohoo:

[Dave O’RourkeMember]

Oil and Filters Changed, Filter cleaned, Coolant changed, New Pirelli tyres, New brake pads. The 690 is feeling very pampered and ready to take on her first OBT ride. Ironically I’m in Mittagong tonight for work and it’s raining and freezing, hopefully better for Friday.
