Piston clips put one in on the bench, piece of cake, the other sorta “wind” it in using fingers, or get a real short bit of pipe around the same id as the od of the wrist pin and using a bolt with a good fit push it in using bolt and thumb pressure, You’ve got a god set of hands on you you’ll piss it in.
Maybe next time it’ll get150 hrs

i reckon 150 easy mate, maybe 200 even!!

That was one of the best rides I have been on it had everything and with any luck the more I ride in that area it may cure the fear I have of step downhills, I was starting to handle them well by the end of the day…thanks Menace for your help and encouragement :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Only one small off for the day and I got very wet 😆

It was a pitty you missed the race back around the lake and for 6 buggered riders we were flying through the sand, it was a hoot :woohoo:

Also Menace great vid’s, do you have any more? Can you burn me a copy?

next time we’ll go to some STEEPER ones to walhalla for lunch :laugh:

yes, i missed the un-official race back to camp. it happens every ride and always is wicked. :laugh:

of course you can have copies mate, i still have the raw footage too. but it isnt much more than that…

i was to busy being excited and trying to stay upright to take any more footage :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

There is steeeeeeper!!!!…..I was getting nose bleeds where we were and I think I filled my pants a couple of times when I was stupid enough to stop and look down. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I would love a copy just to show the good lady what we actually do when out riding….she has no idea

I new I should have given you a hand to put your bike together now after looking at the photo’s 😆 …Maybe next time you will take me up on the offer, at least I know how to do my bolts up and I also use loctite.

Hey Menance got the bike all back together last night I put the new rear solid disc on and I hope that will give me better feel on the rear brake. I was just putting the bash plate back on and the Berg feel on top of me, lucky I was able to hold it or I would have got a damaged car again :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: , the bike stand snapped, F*#k*ng that’s all I needed :angry: .

Berg is in the bike shop now getting a steering damper installed I have been up to the College and the stand is now repaired :laugh:

See you in the morning around 8:00am if I don’t get lost.

What’s this thing called snow???? I will be stealing your grip warmers, you got to remember that you have to look after your elders

[BillMember]

I only started to ride when I turned fifty, I turn 54 next month and I tell you I will not stop trail riding until I can not physically do it, then I will switch to adventure riding and when I can’t do that just road riding.
My mate who got me into trail riding just turned 69 this year and I still have trouble keeping up with him when he decides to turn his right wrist. So I figure I still have alot more riding years in me and when that sad day comes that I can not do it; who knows I will work it out when I have to.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Aido, happy birthday to you, hipp hipp Hurray!!!

All the best.

PS: I had a fantastic ride yesterday Mt Disappointment just past Wallan. I was invited by a mate, it was slippery, muddy, rutted with heaps of great hill climbs and 20K of freshly cut single trail, it was an awsome day.
