Kevdog I would agree with Aaron on the DRZ and you know why
and you’ll never keep up with Sam no matter what you buy 😆Decisions decisions what to do :huh:

I landed awkwardly on a rock on a ride near Booral, and I stalled the bike. I went to re-start it and heard a noise, looked down and noticed oil on the ground. The brake lever had been pushed thru the clutch cover and opened up a 1 – 2 inch hole (the noise was the clutch touching the pushed in cover)
Long storey short new clutch cover $150 and Thumpertalk case savers (both sides). I had noticed dings in both case savers recently and have since removed them both (a bitch to scratch off all the silicone) and hammered them back into shape and re-glued them back on.
Did the case savers save me from more holes in the cases? Who knows however with all the silicone holding the case savers on even if you did crack the covers they would be unlikely to leak

Ollie, Shirley St is not far away from me at all (about 500m in fact). Let me know when you have the urge for a ride up this way, and we’ll see what we can do.
Losta and I went for a spin thisarvo. It was pretty dam humid, we had stuff all rain today to settle the dust, but a bit of cloud cover to keep the temperature of us to just below boiling however the kato didn’t fare quite as well 😆 Losta showed me some singles that I didn’t know and visa versa, and found some neither of us knew about till today
someones been busy out there
It was good to work off the excesses of Christmas Day :blink: Losta was trying out his new crissy present camera so if he had any success he said he would post a couple of happy snaps of me sweating out too many beers and bottles of wine from yesterday
All in all a good afternoon :cheer:Adam.
Sam assembled his 16′ one recently. It buckled up and kinked the pipes
He ended up having to weld the kinked sections, however ended up putting it back together successfully Moral to this story? Assemble it on FLAT ground, follow the instructions and don’t attempt to move it without many hands. Had to tell him I TOLD YOU SO. We OLD bulls are much wiser than those YOUNG bulls Merry Christmas and good luck 😆

I’m interested as well.

I was speaking to Merv today and he is up for this ride too if there is still room (he’s only small so doesn’t take up much room)

I have used a Hewlett Packard organizer for years. Recently I bought a Nokia N8 and it does what Nickj’s Iphone does as does most if not all the new smart phones available on the market.
I find that now only having one item to carry around a bonus however make sure you backup your info elsewhere as well ie sync to your computer. Don’t want all your eggs in one basket

If no one hears you are you really there?
I know everyone want’s to get the most from their bike and so usually put on a performance muffler. Unfortunately most performance mufflers are also loud. If you ride near suburban areas or have neighbours that complain get a quiet muffler and save the performance one for when your out in the boondocks.
We live on 3 acres, all the neighbouring properties have no fences over the other side of our creek so we end up with about 7 acres to ride on. New neighbours moved in (fortunately with bikes) and I made removeable muffler tips for them so the noise is kept low. When they want to go bush they just remove the tip. Sam has two mufflers one for home and one for bush, however if we’re riding near suburbia then the quiet one stays on.
It can be done. Its called comprimise. If you really need extra power and ride in noise sensitive areas get a bike with a bigger motor (read more power) and keep it quiet.
Adam.
