    Jeffro,

    Judging by those cables of yours those rats that were nesting in Boony’s airbox ventured over to your bike whilst you were in them there hills of gold :laugh: :laugh: :P

    Adam.

    Nick,

    I’m running Dunlops at the moment, D742FA front and D952 rear.

    Looking at Pirelli’s at the moment as the front has 1990 k’s and is in need of replacement. The rear has 1080 k’s. I’ll definately change the front before the Bday ride and will depend on how many rides I get in before the Bday ride for the rear.

    Adam.

    I did another 140k’s Friday and Saturday at Wingello SF.

    Travelled all over the place still running 10psi front and 11psi rear. Ripped a couple of knobs off the front on some of the rocky hills but other than that no problems. :)

    I carry tyre plugs and the needle to insert them and still carry patches incase of a side wall problem that a plug won’t fix. I also still carry a tube at the moment as I want to see how the system goes for a while yet.

    I recently purchased a pair for the DRZ as the last two big Old Bulls rides I went on I got flats :S

    I have been on one 140km ride (6.5hrs) with Merv in the Woomargarma NP and SF last weekend as we were working on the Woomargama bypass. It rained all Saturday night for our Sunday ride :cheer: No dust :cheer:

    I ran 11 psi rear and 10psi front in greasy red clay and got the best traction i’ve ever had on a wet ride :) Parts of the ride had some rocky sections which sprung up on you and I just ploughed over them with a bang and a crash and no flats :) There were also the usual logs across tracks which I attacked without fear (of a flat anyway) :P

    I have also riden round our back paddock over logs and the few rocks that are in the gravel road. I wasn’t going to post about the tubliss system until I had put a few more k’s on them, but I’ll let you all know if I have any problems ;)

    Also when fitting the front when I pumped up the tyre it had a hole :huh: Put a tyre plug in it and away I went with no leaks since B)

    i use the zac speed and all though it has not got great protection compaired to these ugly suits i love the fact that i could fill the hydropack it comes with (3L) and tools in the back pack that is connected to it and you just don’t feel the weight at all.

    Ditto.

    Plus I wear a jacket. It has some elbow padding and it lessens the scrub bitch slapping you in the tight stuff ;)

    Traffic is bloody crazy you need insurance just in case but once in the remote areas near the Chinese border its much safer.

    The Boss and I did Vietnam in February and took this video whilst having a couple of Hanoi beers.

    It’s an intersection near a lake in the middle of Hanoi.

    Maddness prevails :ohmy: yet no roadrage :huh:

    I was Johnny on the spot there, the front guard of my bike is just in the right of the screen.

    A very funny trail moment!! The rider and the photographer got all up close and personal directly after that shot. Not often you see a trail rider with his face in the lap of another. :laugh:

    As I have said earlier Mick that was something personal between Murph and myself :P

    What happens on the trail stays on the trail :unsure:

    I don’t want my wife to find out :laugh: :laugh:

    Nice one ER
    With such worthy contributions you will not get banned around here, even if you are into corn holes.

    I thought that was a prerequisite for joining Old Bulls :blink: :blush: :whistle: :kiss:
