Well I have just had an amazing ride up here with Mick and Moose
We did it all today, honestly everything, we rode wet slippery clay single and twin trails, we rode some of the sweetest trails I have every ridden.
We did a section like where the pony express was going to be run, we crossed the hwy and did some great tracks it was here I had a ride on ol purple Moose’s old 600 and here rode my bike, mate its the softest seat and the plushest suspesion so much fun :laugh: We then rode into Port Mac, we fueled and took the ferry over and rode Plommer road, mate that has about 6kms of rolling whoops, there was a far bit of water around but I got up enough courage and speed and tried to double a couple much to Micks amusement as they are big distances apart. Mick reckoned the roost was incredible of the big fiddy through this section. We stopped and took in the view between Point Plommer and Little Delicate Nobby
We then proceeded to Crescent Head Tavern and we had a counter lunch and not bad I have to say, beers and salt and pepper squid, bangers and mash and flat head and chips
Moose and I both commented how much quicker Mick was on the 650
We then rode up the beach to about 10kms north of Crescent Head and had a play in the sand dunes :laugh: (permit required for th beach access)
We left and rode around and ended up in Kempsey, on the way I cracked a wheel stand from about 70kms/hr that finished in top gear at what speed I am not sure, Mick reckoned it was over a klm and it felt that way, we fueled the bikes in Kempsey and then rode a trail that varied from single trail, twin trail, rough rocky smooth fast slow, muddy, puddles, clay, dusty, wet again leaf covered windrows, ruts and slippery in sections like oil covered glass, 1st gear, and a laugh at Mick getting the s*#t scared out of him by the XPT :blink:
We ended up near Telegraph Point and looped around into Kundabung and some great forest tracks that went everywhere, it was here that I managed to fill Mick at least once while Moose was in the lead.
We stopped and saw X and returned to Micks some 209kms later 7 hrs riding, my bike is washed and tucked away in Micks shed.
Thanks guys so much

June 13, 2009 at 8:58 am #139322Like I said last night, today was always going to be epic. I posted “Log Jam” last week after the wind and rain had ruined my local loop but I went out today and as if by magic the trail fairies had cut logs, built detours and had cleaned up the mess.
I have never seen another rider out but the tyre tracks were clear and the trail work obvious. So thank you to however that was because I can honestly say that my ride today was the best I have had.
Tomorrow is Sunday and I plan to better today. &#*k I love this sport!
June 13, 2009 at 9:24 am #139323It would have to be one of the best and most varied rides I have ever been on. We encountered every type of terrain imaginable, from slick red clay hills to high tide on the beach. I got to see Moose have a slow motion sand nap…Funny as!!! I then saw one of the longest wheelies I have seen,TB cracked a beauty that had to go a good kilometer. We did some fire trails at speed, the service trail we did was great. I got to see that the Gods do actually look out for TB, when he rode head first into a water filled sink hole and ride out the other side like it hadn’t happened at all, a mere mortal would have eaten the perverbial sh*t, if it had happened to them. How he got out of that with out coming off still has me stuffed.
The new XR didn’t miss a beat and now I know why TB and Crash are so hard to stay with, I am very happy with my new XR!!
A GREAT DAY OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!June 13, 2009 at 9:28 am #139328And now a baked dinner to boot, thank you lord !!!!

Can you see what Hoffman was on about when he said to TB (as he picked his new XR650R), “Now your dancin’ with the big girls!”?
