Please add me to the list mate.
Good stuff mate. Yeah I have to say I like my helmet more and more every time I ride. Mind you, I still have distortion in the lense. You might be right, I might need to replace it but I am getting use to it.
Apart from that, it’s faultless.
Enjoy mate. I look forward to hitting the trails with you upon your return.
Good to hear your out mate.
Sorry to hear about the long recovery but it could have been worse mate- much worse! :pinch:
The old bull spirit is truly alive and kicking and this is a fine example.
Ace
No good at all Fish. Speedy recovery mate then back on the horse!

August 21, 2013 at 10:48 am in reply to: August Naivgation Ride 2013 Wauchope to Bacca and Back #248426Well what can i say, you nailed it again TB!
This was the best Nav ride ever in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed the technical sections and had a blast scooting down some of the open trails :woohoo: I did need to do a couple of three point turns in the single after Kempsey…what a blast!!!
I huge thank you to TB, King Strucky, Crash and everyone else that helped to plot this route across some amazing country and of course the sweeps, support crew, Adventure Moto and Yamaha.
Accommodation was great on both nights and the company was great as always.
Highlights for me were firstly riding with my mate Eagle…thanks mate, you are a true gentlemen and a pleasure to ride with.
Thanks Lefty for the company on day one…you had me with my pucker hanging out trying to keep up with you through some of those sections :S :blink: :woohoo:
Gav and Jo for the fun through the last section of day one and Trailraider for having an awesome battle (almost banging saddlebags) on day 2…that was awesome with the big bike mate!
I wont go to much into the details of the ride because most of its been covered already, but here are some photos i took along the way.

…and then getting her dirty again…(warning,warning Will Robertson)
[attachment=4136]WP_20130817_026.jpg[/attachment]
Long open sections…
[attachment=4137]WP_20130817_032.jpg[/attachment]
…and some tighter rainforest sections just to balance it out. This was one of the best sections of the ride in my opinion
:woohoo:[attachment=4138]WP_20130817_039.jpg[/attachment]
GavB just before he got air! :silly:

Any other canoeist’s out there?At the fuel stop we met an interesting local who’s morbid fear of dehydration was clearly evident.
Wigster
Great read Wigster! You are a dead set riot. Hope the foot heals quickly mate. See you on the next one and watch out for those mad car drivers in the big smoke eh :S

Not good mate. Like I said when you were down the ravine…we should have just buried you and flogged the bike.August 18, 2013 at 8:19 pm in reply to: August Naivgation Ride 2013 Wauchope to Bacca and Back #248290OUCH! Have woken up a bit sore today.
My arms and legs are aching, my neck is stiff, my right eye is half closed from the bug I hit , a have a servere case of monkey butt, have had minimal sleep and the sweat from my riding gear has stunk the house out!!!!
What a weekend :woohoo:
Full report to come later but a massive thanks to TB, the crew and the sponsors for another brilliant (non-organized) nav ride.
As they say at the Olympics – that was the best ride ever!
Bring on the next one already.

Speedy recovery mate.
If only we had a video camera, I know I will be getting good value out of that story at work tomorrow :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Too right there mate. Its not the dragging that bothers me though – its the trying to pick the big bastard back up again!!! :pinch:
Look forward to catching up Wigster. See you up there

Ace I will add you name to the list for pods there will be a wait and the pods (K300’s) we have quoted are the cheaper plastic version of Scottys I am pretty sure.
TB
Cheers mate. Yep I have looked at some online reviews. The k300’s are injection moulded plastic. The independent reviews read okay for mine. I suppose there are pros and cons to most products.
My plan is to put the balance towards a neck brace.
Thanks for your help TB. I’ll get my size and give Suttos a call.
