The country we rode through changed so much from green grass and full dams, to being two hours west where the grass was brown and the dams empty!!.
In answer to James report mate it was a pleasure riding with you and they were packets of 25 and we still had plenty when we pulled up at the end of the day,you rode really well for your first big adventure ride mate hope to see you on the next one.
In the words from the great man Tony Kirby, “We do this stuff searching for adventure because it makes us feel truly alive”.
Cheers FishThankyou Fish for the kind words of encouragement.
Alive indeed,and yes you will see me on the next one

Riding at your own pace with a couple of mates at you side, knowing that strung out in front and behind are “cluster-f@cks”… oops I mean… Clusters or small groups of riders managing their own ride.TB, the NAV ride’s are the future old mate. I don’t care if I never do another corner man ride again after this weekend. Well done mate and hats off to everyone elase who came along. Jim for taking on such a ride for his first big Adventure Ride, Aaron for being Jim’s wingman. Peter Payne and Jason barrett for being part of an Industry that supports this sort of thing and actually “being there”… Amy who is the best Adventure Gal since Annie Oakley. And lastly Chicken for being support as you never know when you are going to need the truck and trailer and I know what it is like to be driving when I could be riding
Can’t wait for the next one and looking forward to catching some of you guys on the Scrapheap.
Wolfy
Too true Steve,couldnt have done it without him.I am certain he must have been stinging to charge a bit harder on the journey,still I know he thoroughly enjoyed the ride and company of some new mates in the OBT ranks.
By the way his name is Erin,I know red hair and a girls name poor buggar :laugh:
A lot of people were calling him that on the trip he usually just goes by the name Ez.
See you soon for tyres.
Cheers James

February 23, 2013 at 8:17 am #237174Great footage TB. It’s a pity you weren’t looking over your right shoulder a bit more when PTW had his lie down. We missed the finer details. Oil on the road indeed!
When’s the next one?
