Yeah and he was the only bike to do it in under the magic 2hrs which is the bench mark set by the top riders before leaving Alice.

TB, I agree that he will be very hard to beat now unless the KATO shats itself.

I have been on holidays in Yamba for the past few days and have come back early to ride with the Old Bulls. Been up early this morning to get bike ready for today and relised I had very little fuel so I shoot into Port Macquarie with jerry can, 50 minutes later and I arrive home and it is now pissing down with rain……..

Ahhh, “wise words grashopper”

I was at Finke when Wonka crashed and smashed his knee up a few years ago, whilst he was leading or very close to it.

Just checked last years results and Shane did win his class and by some distance also 15 minutes. He also finished 34th outright 58 minutes behind the winner Ben Grabham.

Shane Munoz started 82nd last year and will start 284th this year. Having an extra 200 bikes start in front of him this year will not help his cause to win his class again.

Man that track is tough!!!!!

White rocket,

Good luck mate and I look forward to hearing how you go.

[GlennMember]

White rocket,

At least your mate is there racing and having a go, he will do it tough starting from middle of the field.

2smoker, it was not that long ago that the cr500 dominated the race. What a weapon of a bike that was.

In the words of former winner Michael Vroom “The CR500 has still got wins in it, & its by far the fastest bike out there, its just that no one can hold onto it at those speeds for that long, its such a brute whereas the newer 4 strokes dont hurt you as much”

Chad Billett on his CRF450 could be one to watch also.

Chad lead last year until the 170 km mark before crashing. This resulted in a broken hand, foot and a dislocated shoulder that put an end to what promised to be a quick time. Many of the top ten, including Jason Hill, also crashed at the same point.

Also, sorry to here about your finger troubles!!!!!!

Cheers

Mick,

099.93 stamped on the top of your piston is the manufactures size of the piston.

Standard XR600 pistons are 97mm and the 630 big bore kit uses 100mm pistons. You can verify this by measuring the lower part of the piston skirt. Donot measure higher as most pistons are narrower at the top than the bottom. I agree with MOTO when he suggests forged pistons, whether you choose JE, ROSS, WISECO any forged is better than a cast piston. When choosing an aftermarket forged piston keep in mind the compression ratio. Standard Honda pistons give a 9.0 to 1 compression ratio. Looking at your existing piston in the earlier post you are probably running a 10 or 10.25 to 1 compression ratio. I suggest staying under 10.5 if you want to use standard pump fuel. DONOT use the Honda manufactures specifications to check the piston to bore clearance as this is for cast pistons. Forged pistons will require extra clearance as they will expand more when at operating temperature compared to a cast piston. I think from memory Honda recommend a piston to bore clearance of 0.01mm to 0.05mm. This is not enough clearance for forged pistons.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Glenn

Hello to all Old Bulls.

Glenn

[GlennMember]

They both look schmik…..

Probably the orange one if I had to choose.

[GlennMember]

Thanks to all who have left comments on their armour.

Boony I cannot wait to see you performing nak naks and backflips with your armour at KTM Bulls place. Then again, DRZs are a bit agricultural so I guess it will not look out of place on you.

MR Blue,

Troy Lee design I never thought of them. Where did you get yours and how much did you pay for it.

Thanks mate

[GlennMember]

So far we have…

ECKS-Man….. 661 and
STM ……… 661

Austblue….. alpinestars

Hey STM some great trails up your way. I use to live at Sandy Beach and ride out through Woolgoolga and Nanaglen top trails up that way.
