    Tiny just dropped in home and had a bruise worth showing

    He said it doesnt hurt but the ribs do

    Hey Tiny. I have taken to wearing a Jock strap and it has all but eliminated bruising like that. It keeps the old fella from hitting my leg with so much force.:woohoo:

    Tell the truth Tiny, that bruise ends exactly where those fishnets and suspender clips join. You really should think twice about doing such a long ride with that kinky gear on!!!!!!!!

    Nice report boys,Tiny mate that is an awsome colour in your leg:blink: please explain how it came about:laugh:
    BTW I noticed your tyre was absolutley rooted,The MX retreads are guaranteed that that will not happen to their tyres.I fondly remember going on a big ride starting from wisemans ferry going to Kandos on a 88 Husky 430,wow what a great ride,probably similar conditions to what you guys were doing. Great stuff.
    Thats the beauty of this site,it brings like minded guys and girls together and gettting out there and doing it:laugh:

    cheers Ollie

    I took the retread of the rear of my bike Ollie, because after only 120kms in the wet at the Watagans it doesnt have enough to do that ride. Tiny had way to much air in it and it was spinning aver the surface all the time, Moto ran the same tyre was more aggressive then Tiny so it wasnt the tyres fault.

    Sweet, sounds awesome. Took my bandage and cast off last night out of curiosity and I have 12 stitches in my Frankenstein like thumb. I’ll take a pic before I see the doc on Tuesday in case he takes them out…

    Man,
    That may be a possibility, dependant on when you plan to run the trip. Tha handbrake will probably not be a fan, it might cost me 3 tickets to Brisbane to send her & the lids for a visit to her brothers HA HA, coinciding with the same dates :unsure: :unsure:
    Let me know more details closer to the date & I`ll consider it, but I can`t lock in just yet,,,
    Cheers
