I reckon Nickj might back you up on that one Scott:D

Hey Jeffro from what everyone tells me the might FE550E are not to bad at throwing the odd rock or two.

Also I had the 16LT tank on for this ride, it sure makes a difference on the front end.

Yeh Bill, heard that too . Almost bought myself a 16L tank the other week but decided I didn’t really need it. Good time to buy one though with the dollar the way it is.

You are not wrong!!!!….What sh!ts me is I don’t need anything at the moment

Bill why dont you sell your big tank and get some viagra,you definately need that :laugh:

All I can say to you is you missed a fantastic ride!!!!

alright…

yes Drew, camp thursday night if you like as we (TB, Bill and I) will be there mid friday morning.

we will be doing the imfamous Avon river track. it will be a good warm up for saturday :laugh: get ready to get your feet wet in the Avon, we will cross it some 8-10 times…. and i should add, it is fed mainly from snow melt and it is f**king f**king cold :laugh: :laugh:
but it is an awesome ride

friday night will involve some drinking and BBQing and drinking and burning wood and some more drinking, :laugh: :laugh: and talking shit in general…

…maybe a visit from the Lord Kato himself :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

so drew, fill your tank and jerry before arriving… :laugh:
you will need a full tank for friday (you can get fuel after the ride, on friday night for sat if need be.)

saturday will be an 8AM start
please

i have lengthened the ride considerably as Sammy (and maybe JAKs wife and son) will be meeting us at the pub in Walhalla for lunch…..and with fuel for us too!!

its looking like a 160km plusser now :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

we will sleep well saturday night :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

sunday morning we might do a local trail thrash.

just dont roll up expecting a walk in the park/firetrail ride.
it will be tough

there may be sections where we are dragging ALL the bikes up out of creeks, depending on the weather.

lets just say, its all about time. we must get to the pub by 1pm. thats 4 hours riding.

it is do-able if it goes smooth….its only 70km.

but compared to a normal OBTV ride there is a higher than normal chance of…
punctures, drowned bikes, broken bikes, physical exhaustion and injuries. it is rugged country.

if a couple of the abovementioned problems arise, we will miss the pub.

it will have parts like wombat last ride Smurf.

if you guys arent feeling up to it, you can ride dirt roads and bitumin to the pub. its a lovely scenic trip to a beautiful town.

it is my favourite ride.

sorry its so poorly planned but im so flat out with work and shit im all over the shop :S
and i didnt know it was cup weekend :blush:

I was only pulling your leg!!!!

You know I will be there, it’s just I will have to ask my misses if I can have my balls for the day, she keeps them in her handbag and only gives them to me when she thinks I need them :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
