Unfortunately something has come up that we can’t get out of and myself and Henno will have to withdraw from the Nav ride. Sorry for the muck around, I really appreciate all the effort that goes into organising these runs and we’ll definately try for the next one. Henno will post as well.
Cheers

No worries mate will adjust the list

Version1 of XC forks back from RJ Moto and fitted up tonight, a quick run up a local track in the dark but feels much better already. Triumph should be good to go pending a proper test tomorrow.
Looking forward to the ride, if a little suspicious of that forecast :unsure:
June 15, 2013 at 12:15 pm #239679mr sqiggle we had 7.5 inches of rain since the the 3rd all rds good so don’t worry 1 creek crossing that could of been a prob but it was all good today
June 15, 2013 at 12:28 pm #243766Sounds fun wolfie, I have a Metzler Karoo rear and kenda bigblock front here somewhere I will throw on this week, that and some throttle should take care of the mud 👿
hopefully some extra layers will keep the blood flowing, depends on what TB has in stall for us. A little bit of the unexpected makes life interesting so bring it on eh
June 15, 2013 at 12:31 pm #239680hope to see you sat nite in orange
June 16, 2013 at 8:11 am #239681Well well well who hates cold hands ???, :laugh: I have questioned his choice of alcoholic beveridge before and don’t start me on his after ride footwear :sick: :laugh: :laugh:
It seems as though he has the answer to keeping the cold air from his hands (and maybe any 5 bikes behind him :laugh: :laugh: ) Reckon there is 30 kilometres an hour loss of top speed as well :whistle:Not for Eagle to guess

I can keep quiet on the owner,,, should be an easy pick though ,, even for non ADVers :silly:June 16, 2013 at 8:35 am #243769Hi all I was talking to TB earlier today about the Nav ride next weekend and we were discussing the route of next weekends ride, amongst other things, and I have volunteered to take a few guys who have not done this type of thing before. I will be teaming up with James, Isambard and possibly Wigster (not sure if Wigster already has a ride partner) and their is also room for a couple of more starters in this group if anyone is interested. I know that it should all be fairly straight forward but if anyone is uncertain of how this all works, as you maybe a first timer at this or would like to join the group as you are just learning the Navigation skills and maybe a little unsure of your GPS/Map reading. I don’t pretend to be an expert either so we can all get lost together :whistle: , however some of the planned roads I have ridden previously and it should be fun as a group. Just remember that it is not a race and you don’t have to ride in the dust of your ride buddy and I will try to regroup along the way. It is just a thought if anyone is interested, however we will keep the group to around 6 riders.
If anyone would like to join please PM me so that I can let TB know as it was his idea. We will however need to meet at the pub at Lithgow and the departure time from the pub will be 8.00am sharp. Please ensure that you have spare tubes, pump and tools for any puncture repairs and I would suggest new or near new tyres as it could be a little damp and slippery in spots, a battery in good condition as starting a bike in freezing temps can sometimes be a little testing and warm/winter gloves, Jacket etc as it will be a little chilly in Lithgow and Orange. :blink:
I am the short 12yr old on a KTM 640 Adv :huh: :laugh: :laugh:
Anyway I look forward to seeing you all there. :woohoo:
Cheers,
