He was moaning something about how good the trails are on the coast and how much he wishes he could ride an XR650R. :laugh:
Oi!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloody plagerism! :ohmy: :woohoo: :laugh: :kiss:
A dudes view
Reckons The vstrom dude(Toes) who was filming on the hard way hill on loop 1 must have got some unreal carnage footage.
1st time up I got stuck below someone and next time I messed up myself , and then the ‘Tractor horizontal feet dragging Superman hill start is demonstrated in front of the vid camera‘. :unsure:
Yer good job. :dry:
Made it up 3rd time in style how it was suppose to be.
Good hill enjoyed it as all the ride.
Enjoyed the downhills cause the soil was not as slippery as back home as it seemed to be a sandy clingy type of soil ’no wonder the trees grow so tall and straight up there’. :laugh:
The stand out on 2nd loop was that ‘Carnage hill‘ :ohmy: maybe some other name as it was a narrow road type of track which is fun at pegged in 3rd gear but when I approached it it was littered with the unfortunates soon to be me included :blush:
Tractor horizontal feet dragging Superman hill start was the go. 😆
challenges of the day.
Its not like you can go back down against the flow.At lunch I did see Boonys poker hand and he did have 2 aces at the time and with 5 decks of cards being used it was possible to get 5 aces. :laugh: Well done on your amazing luck Boony but save some for the trails. :huh: Well done.
The Breckenridge Farm stay was well above expectations ‘value’ thanks Barry and Shirley. :cheer:
Good to meet new Old bull trail riders and get reacquainted with Old bull trail riders dudes I have met before again.
Thanks to organisers T.B and Mick good job, and everyone else involved in the
‘Muc off Poker Run 2010’ :cheer:Enjoyed the weekend. :cheer: 😆 :laugh:
dude
My weekend started thursday morning, I had to meet Chris to pick up some stuff and then set sail for Wauchope. I had a quick catch up with a mate and then over to Mick’s shed.
Got the long necks in the fridge and started work on my bike, quick oil change, fitted a front tyre and Mousse (tyre was a 2nd had one Mick had thrown out a Bridgestone works great)
Mick turned up after work and we drank some, fiddled around etc. As the night wears on Mick informs me that his bike is stalling going down hills, I suggest we lift the float level to which he gives the standard its to hard blah blah blah :laugh: :laugh: So I send him up the house to google the float level and we get the carby out. Once out I bend the tab and Mick measures the level we chuck the carby back in, one kick, two, three, four and he starts :laugh: It should have started, we shouldn’t have touched it blah, cry, blah. So we go and have dinner and come back same again, so I drained the carby bowl and check its got fuel, yeah plenty. Mick then drinks the fuel :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: see here :laugh: :laugh:
After that clams down and we find the plug spanner Mick carries doesnt fit his spark plug :laugh: I pulled the spark plug out and its dry, that means valve clearances to tight as fuel is at the carby. So I checked no top dead centre no compression. Quick valve adjustment and its starts first kick I look at his air filter and find all the oil in the filter as drained down through the filter and is in the bottom of the air box. (more on this later in another thread) I gave Mick some Motul filter oil and he does a new filter he had up, we fit it and happy days all ready Next morning we pre ran the tracks and put up all the arrows and bunting and did some riding. The tracks Mick had worked out I thought and still do were a credit to him well done mate
I spent the day following Mick convinced his setup was way out, when I did pass him he accidentally got in the kill zone and Mick copped a tennis ball size rock to the head (well he said it was that big :laugh: )
We caught up with the guys at the farm stay, washed the bikes and went back to the shed and then they started rolling in.
I changed my brake pads (mistake that more later
) I made Mick get the gear to measure his ride sag and found it was over 120mm :ohmy: Had to pukl half the bike apart to lift the subframe to get access to the spring preload. Mick started adjusting it and I finished, once done I put it all back together while Mick struggled with the carby boot add a brain spit he had and we got the sag to 105mm Adjusted the rebound and compression dampening with rider x’s help. We slid the forks through the triple clamp (thanks Jeffro :laugh: ) and the shed was done.More to come later

Great reports guys. Keep them coming.
I think Krustys is the best blow by blow report so far.
Good job mate.Just about to start watching STMs videos.
Jeffro – Chat to Medogrocket about the Berg starting/stalling issues. It may have something to do with the accelerator pump and tuning.
