    Hey rat,
    Why not get the 465 or 490 IT???
    I owned both in my youth. 👿 :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
    After getting my mate to ride my first bike home from the shop. (a big brand new DT175) Because I had never riden a bike in my life thus far.
    Next bike was a big bore 2T
    I do believe the 465 was a nastier bike, but the 490 had the suspension sorted. Suspension/tyres makes an average rider look better every time. (at least thats what I go on)
    Looks like a good project, Rat. B)
    Cheers

    Hey Murph, that was my first ‘new’ bike too…DT175 with the ‘air induction’ system ;) Use to park in the teachers car park and double my mates home with no helmets just to piss em off 👿 . Lunch time ciggy and passion pop runs :laugh: B) ..ahhh the memories you just bought back :)

    Hi Cas, another BMW owner/rider. I think thats 2 in 2 days now :) Done much Adv on the Beema? If so what tyres you running. I’m just about to replace the Battle wing front but want something a little more dirt orientated with still a good black top feel.

    Enjoy the site and welcome.

    Can’t wait to see the finished product. :woohoo:

    Hi All,

    My Name is Amy (Flying Fish).

    I was recently recommended to check out this site and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and supportive everyone is, so I have joined up and look forward to meeting and riding with you all.

    I live in the Hunter Valley and am surrounded by great riding areas, which I have been exploring for the past few years. I am also keen to get to know other areas and gain more experience and meet other riders.

    My current rides are a BMW GS800 and a WR250R.

    I think I am free for the upcoming Birthday Weekend Ride, so I might be able to meet some of you there.

    Cheers,
    Amy

    Hi there Flying Fish, good to see another fellow GS800 rider :) . How do you like the ride? Have you done much off road stuff on it?

    Welcome to the site.

    Wow guys! Can’t say i’m surprised but i am impressed with the amount and quality of the gear going up for auction. I will be there for Friday night but will sadly miss the auction which i will assume is Saturday night :( . Might try the buy it now option ;)

    Good on Old Bull for supporting worthy charities!!!! It’s one of the things that sets the OldBulls apart.

    Eags, I’m in :laugh: :laugh: . Just let me get the all clear for the day off. Should be okay.

    Happy with the klms Eags…the beema was built for it(not sure about me though) ;) Might even have to fill the tank up with that loop ;) TB reckons there might be one spot that i will have to wimp out on cause i’m still running road tyres until they wear out – damn those Bridgestones wear well!

    I’ll keep you posted but for now, i’m in. Can meet anywhere at anytime on the Friday if required. :laugh:

    Yeah, Why not ??? ;)
    Thought the causeway over Wheeney Ck might be the go, or as I have all day, a run to Bilpin like I did with Dejay :)
    There`s plenty of time to plan ,,,,,

    Cheers

    As you say Eags, plenty of time to plan. Did the Wisemans/Sackville/Colo/Bilpin/Putty run 2 weeks ago. Nice fast flowing section from the causeway at Colo up Mt Lagoon Rd – perfect for the 800 :woohoo: .

    Looking forward to finally putting a face to some of the Old Bull names :cheer: .

    I’ll try to dig up the photo. It’s on disc somewhere ;) You guys will have a ball. I am seriously jealous! I did it on a Kato 525 and the bike handled it well. TB did most of the organising. Co-incidently i found myself curled up next to TB in ‘Lovers Lane’ (true story)after driving from the Central Coast to Bundy overnight :huh: :unsure: :laugh: .

    Great riding and memories forever.

    I’ll prepare myself now for TB’s onslaught in advance. :unsure:

    Go on, laugh it up! :angry:

    I am obviously getting old and letting my ambitions get in the way of my abilities…Years ago i would have eaten that hill up on one wheel on the kato and thrown roost all over you as you were picking the tractor up out of the mud:P ;) :P
