AnonymousI will get to doing a report and loading some photo’s hopefully after the little D’s go to bed tonight. Excellent ride though. Only wish I could of stayed to do the rest of the ride but my coach probably would of turned into a PUMPKIN.

Sorry Jeffro, nice pics, Come on Dan Where the F are yours ??????????Just found this thread!
Old mate on the CRF is Ben. He “works” for a living so not as much computer time as me (and from the looks of it most of you blokes) but I’ve passed him on a link. He was saying that night that he felt bad that he didn’t offer moto his helmet but I think he was still trying to figure which way was up and whether the tree he landed on had given him a 2nd belly button or not.

I don’t know why but my body just wants to shut down after a little break and a feed and then once the cramps and fatigue set in I was all arms and legs bouncing up some of those hills. Ollie must have thought he was riding with bruce lee watching all the limbs swinging :laugh:
Pics look good and so’s the vid thanks. I’m dirty on myself not having fresh batteries in my camera :blush:
The day was a good laugh from the minute we got there and that old moll started into us about parking within 10m of her van then her husband got stuck into her and told her to pull her head in 😆
My first ‘oh shit what have I got myself into moment’ was as we flew down the hill and I lost sight of the young fella in front of me (KTM450?) and tried to catch up only to have a bloody tree lay down in front of me out of nowhere
I hit the skids about a split second after my undies did and managed to get the front over it ok but the back hit hard enough to send my arse flying into the air and I quickly followed the bike into the lantana for a soft landing I think it was P-dub that was sweeping at that stage and helped me remove all the bush from the back sprocket so I could make my way on again(that’s how deep I got 
) – thanks mate.Sitting at the bottom of Ollie’s “tester” was a little daunting as we queued up to be tried and watched the fellas in front of us hitting the deck over and again :unsure: Good on ya for helping out there Dan and I think Jeffro too.
I had 2 unsuccessful runs at that hill in the video and the first ended ok when I ran out of traction and rode across then back down but the second is just at the start of that video and you can see me sliding backwards to the amusement of all the boys watching on. Pride made me politely decline moto’s offer to ride my bike up but it was to spite my body! As I lined up at the base I let out a nervous laugh as benno came rolling down the hill then watched as meathead moto did it easy. Inspired that even a honda could make it up with a ktm rider at the helm I ripped in and picked the better line than previously at the first half then started to lose traction and apparently focus as I took off to the right and I precariously rode up along the ridge of a nice deep rut.
It felt great making it to the top. So good in fact that I forgot how buggered I was and started to help that other group get up until the adrenalin wore off and my ribs screamed for mercy.

Cheers boys.As I said in the other thread, I can’t imagine learning my way around that place as well as you guys know it so I’ll be investing in a GPS in the upcoming weeks and hopefully with some more time on the bike I can start to keep up for the full day because it was disappointing leaving the fun before it was done. Thanks for the helping hands through the day and for the great fun.
AnonymousNice report mate, very well worded. You boys were good value and as said before had a go at everything thrown at you, even if it was tricky at times. There are masses of other trails in the Wattie’s to explore and be ridden so I’m sure we’ll see you out again soon
AnonymousForgot to mention I’ll give you karma for your efforts AustBlue

AnonymousI have been a bit slack and haven’t done my ride report for the OBT Anzac ride 2009.
Another great ride up in the Watto’s. If you missed it suck poo, you missed a good one.
The day greeted us with perfect riding conditions, nice and cool but sunny.
The tracks were in top condition with minimal dust and a tiny bit of water lying around. The pace was good. The single trail was excellent.
Gili and Ollie managed to upset some cranky old bitch by parking the ute to close to her camp. But you get that I suppose.
Jeffro only put in a morning appearance and left at lunch time. With some car troubles on the way back (you should of stayed for the whole day)
I would like to thank our lead riders for the colossal job that they did. P-Dub, Ollie and Gili.
P-Dub also done the majority of the sweeping throughout the day.Trent and Ben what a top effort for blokes that have only been riding for a few months.
Moto I enjoyed our little sprint through the bush. I only wish I had 200 more cc’s and I might stand a chance against you. I was wringing the arse off the WR, you would let me get close enough to think I had a chance and you just rolled it on and gone again. I came home and told Kylie how good those 450’s go and I was told that’s nice but don’t even think about it. I will just have to deal with it I suppose.
All in all a good day. I enjoyed the riding and the company. Looking forward to the next one.
