    Not a bad idea slug, I was thinking about one for myself, as I am being roped into being a support monkey for my brother-in-law who is riding the Aus Safari this year. I’ll be picking TB’s brain before much longer, I just need to work out what the BIL has in mind so I can start planning!

    Boys,
    I will come as a co- driver/ with Moto if there`s room in the car & to help with the numbers etc???
    Reckon I might be able to cope with the pom talking pumpkin all weekend :unsure: :unsure:

    Let me know TB if it helps, I am certainty for this if ya need it (no riding though :( )

    Eagle, WTF is this about, read Slugs post, we need numbers, Moto can bring your bike down and you wont ride why, Racey Tracey did most of this ride in one day and you want to ride in the car!
    Come on man, its not like that stuff we did in the watagans, no 1st gear single line, you’ll be sorry if you dont ride.

    If you want a driving job you can be the driver and drive my company car and Moto will ride its that easy a ride, come on man!

    Moto is coming down after work on friday with his empty trailer, that will be after 4 on friday. The ride is nothing like the christmas party ride, nothing at all. You need to bring a sleeping bag for the friday night with a pillow. Its a done deal Eagle

    20. Support crewRacey Tracy
    21. KTM RAT 576 maybe will know 20/01 PM

    Moto is driving the support vehicle with Chop’s 5″ x 8″ box trailer, the support vehicle is to carry our bags (Back pack size only please)and should we have a breakdown or injury.

    Please read the below and have your bike ready for you and everybody on the ride

    With the distance that this ride will cover all bikes that attend the ride will need to be mechanically sound.

    All riders will need to carry on them

    1 x new Chain joining link

    1 x Front tube, front tube can be used in the front or rear

    1x Spark plug

    Please check your bikes over and cover the basics as it affects everybody, we all know stuff happens and that’s trail riding but I just want avoid silly things cropping up.
    Basics include:
    Tyres, chain, sprockets, wheel brgs, spokes, cable ends, etc,

    There will plenty of guys there with tyre levers, pumps, nuts, bolts, wire, chain breakers, cable ties, plug spanners tape and bits and pieces so don’t stress if you don’t have those things, but bring them if you do and be self sufficient.

    If you can pack a spare air filter with your chain lube and pack it in your bag and let the service vehicle take it, then if its dusty you can change it rather than clean it. (supercheap auto sell pre oiled for most bikes for $14.99 or there abouts)
    One final thing can all bikes have heavy duty tubes fitted, ultra heavy duty are better but heavy duty will do.
    We are leaving the Zig Zag Railway car park at 8.00am saturday morning! Sorry but it has to be 8.00am because of the distance we have to cover, please don’t be late[/b]

    Everybody with standard size fuel tanks need to refuel twice from Jerry Cans carried by the support vehilce.

    If we can get 8, 20 litre Jerry cans and people can buddy up and share a Jerry can we only have to carry 8 Jerry cans.

    Those that we know will have big tanks fitted are.

    Chicken 24L
    Boulder 25L
    TB 16.5L

    Is there anyone else?, if so let TB or Moto know please, if you have a 20L Jerry can please bring it along and we will sort out the number we need and who can share them on the morning. Note leave Jerry can empty, you can fill them at Yetholme, that way Moto hasn’t got to cart them all day full for no reason.

    With a support vehilce to load and trailer etc to check ready on the morning can you please get to the starting point as early as possible.

    Still waiting to hear from Gilli, if transport is a problem please PM me before you say no in case I can help or know others that can with transport etc.

    Cheers and please keep checking this thread for updates :)
