Welcome to OBT mate
See ya on the trails.Bol :woohoo:
Boll who are you trying to kid? Remember all that farting going on around the fire! Hey Boony I thought that photo below was you. Then I saw that it had an original headlight and I worked out I was wrong. The wild life must not be attracted to that Banana like it is yours :laugh: On a serious note welcome to Old bulls. Would be good to see you on the ride.

If anybody is interested this is the latest treatment for Suimin OD. This is not their biggest burger believe it or not!The ride started out with an epic road drip that included standing on the a frame of the bike trailer at 100kph.For the purpose of retaining your sanity we will not go int details here. Bollocks very politely drove so I could lighten the esky. It was dark when we found the camp ground and it was lucky we got there when we did. Boony,Dahmus and Snowy were sitting in the dark and stone cold sober. Somebody had forgot to bring the matches and they were under strict orders not to start the party till we got there. The fire was soon blazing and the smoke seemed to be constantly heading towards Boony. All we had to do was keep our distance and we were sweet. We all hit the sack early(early in the morning) as we had a big ride the next day. The next morning we were treated to the most magnificent sound that a rain forest has to offer….. An XR650 with the throttle frozen in the angry position! Mick covered the following events well so I won’t repeat. The singles we went on were fantastic! The only issue was that you kept wanting to turn around and hit them a bit faster.At one stage I was following Mick who had a very sideways moment on a slippery section. In the excitement of yelling encouraging words I almost repeated his close call. In an attempt to slow the big 650 down I tried for the old log in the crank case trick :laugh: Mick carried on as if it hadn’t happened. They grow them tough over here it seems. The view from the top of the look out was fantastic as you can see in the picture
The scenery was good too.
Pep did his usual trick of saturating somebody with the use of a puddle. It would have been really funny if it wasn’t me :silly: My usual nemesis of the creek crossing came back to bite me again. Once again at least it wasn’t done in vein. Bollocks was there to witness the uncoordinated attempt. He did you all proud and laughed himself silly as I dragged my sorry wet but out of the freezing water. :laugh:As the water was so cold Bollocks had little time to get the camera out to please all of you! To add insult to injury Bollocks then climbed the step up out of the creek like a pro…… Prick. :angry:
Boony and Snowy dragged us into the enchanted forest just so they could laugh at us getting dragged off the back of the bikes by vines. At one stage we were so far into the jungle that I noticed three red laser dots in the shape of a triangle on Snowy’s back. But luckily Boony knew his way out and the thumping DRZ lead us all to safety. Even though we had escaped the ‘Predator’ we later had to return to retrieve our skin anyway because the vines had ripped it all off :laugh: The last day was going really well as you all know until Bollocks had his slide. We limped the crew back to the camp so we could drive home and have the coffee we were originally going for. Bollocks sat back and pretended to be really hurt until we had totally packed up all the gear. It was only then that he resumed breathing without the use of an artificial respirator. We started the arduous journey along the rough road with the patient drifting in and out of consciousness in the passenger seat. He would only awake to inform me that it was not necessary to drive over all the bumps :laugh: I now wish we took the Hilux to Wauchoppy for the Teknic treatment.Bollocks has since fronted to the emergency department for an Xray. He was told that the procedure was not possible because blood tests revealed he had recently been exposed to high doses of gamma radiation later traced back to a antique gas lantern :laugh: As a result the rest of us are now in isolation. Gingers Creek shop turned on a feast for me to treat the symptoms of Suimin overdose. Once under way Bollocks came under the influence of Ibuprofen and smooth roads and we enjoyed the drive home. A big thanks goes out to Boony and Mick and all the Tamworth guys for such a Great weekend. Once again Bring on Nundle![img]http://www.obtrailriders.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/DSC09187.JPG[/img]
Got the Piston and Cylinder on. Putting the rings on is not as easy as they make out in the book. I bought a ring compressor tool and it was too long because the stroke is so short. So save your money there. It is possible to have the whole lot come out even when you are up to the oil control ring :angry: The cir-clips on the gudgeon pin I got are just bent pieces of wire. So they are not as nice to put in as a proper cir-clip and look a lot easier to drop into the crank case. And yes do as they say cover it with a rag because I would have lost one down there. At the moment I would say If you are thinking of doing this for the first time don’t. That is if you are not a mechanic of any sort. Sell your bike before it needs it
Just about to go out and torque the head down. Also read the manual on your new torque wrench. I played around with the bolt on the end just as I was reading ” Do not adjust the calibration bolt or it will no longer be right” Whaaaaaat!! The stupid thing was only finger tight.It was a Kinchrome.
