Nice one Eags. Thanks. Sounds good. Will check which weekend i am free TB – you know what i’m like :unsure: …Is the bike going to get dirty? :laugh: :S

Guys, what grade of ride is this one goin’ to be? I just got the Beemer and to be honest i want to ease into the dirt stuff and see how the big girl goes :unsure: That is the bike..but also the big girl behind the bars! :lol:. I’ve still got the ‘road’ tyres on it. Did a small dirt run(St Albans to Peats Ridge 35 klms) and it was a bit dicey. Still keen on an overnighter though :cheer: . Also have the dates been confirmed because i am only free every second weekend?

Looks the goods :woohoo:

Yeah all planned…it reduces the scratches if you land under the bike :laugh:

Thanks guys,

Thats a good start.

TB knows how particular i am with some things (sock folding for 1 eh TB):silly: so i will be making sure that there aren’t any scratches on the swing arm etc…

Can’t wait to get out on the trails, but will spend a bit of time getting it prepping it first.

I rode an ’02 a few years ago and just felt it was a great user friendly bike, unlike that 525 i got talked into:angry:

Thanks for your help. I’ll let you know how i get on

Hey ekips, welcome to the site.

I do a bit of driving out that way and thought there might be some good trails around that area.

I had an ’04 525 and ran Motorex from new and then switched to the Motul after about 6 months. Couldn’t notice any difference between the two and rode in all types of terrain and speeds. I did change the oil and filters every second ride regardless of klms travelled(as well as rear tyre:S ).

Final thought…When you buy a performance machine, spend the extra bucks and buy a performance oil.

9 months ago they said ‘When a black president gets elected, pigs would fly’…9 months later swine flu!:laugh:

Thanks Guys,

Yeah it was hard to keep the bub quiet when TB came around. We had to hide in the lounge room for 40 minutes. TB’s a persistent bugga. Probably just after a free feed.:laugh:

Glad to be part of the club. I look forward to meeting you all on a trail ride soon.

I’m sorry mate but i would say the next bike will also be orange:) Why don’t you just give in and go with the orange…you know you want to!

[AndrewMember]

Tidy lookin’ bike Mick. It must be tough only having 5 or 6 bikes in the shed!:lol: Isn’t it a shame that work has to get in the way of trail riding…oh well nearly the weekend.:woohoo:
