We passed 2 turn offs to nundle on the way home , had 2 bikes, petrol and thought we had some left in our own energy reserves …. but it was too late in the day and realistically only thought we wanted to ride and it started to rain :ohmy:

9hrs drive to ride in those conditions? Interesting. Too many leave passes me thinks.

History lesson
Many Moons ago there were three guys known as the three wise men

The first Man worked out that
” one should not be too judgemental off conditions until one has experienced conditions “

Confuscious was there and he said yeh but if conditions look dire then there is a possibility that this will be the case

The first man agreed but stated one won’t know unless he has a go

The second wise man worked out that
” women look good in skirts “
“Man look pretty suave in pants “

The third one was a bit slow on the uptake but got there
he worked out that
“the shorter the skirt the hotter a woman looked”

A little later in the scheme of things there was a guy named Albert Einstein
He was pretty good with problems he really knew his stuff , most people are familiar with some of his stuff

He found these quotes from these 3 wise Men and there was a light appear in his head

in such a short time he worked out that if woman look good in skirt and Man look good in Pants and that man looks hideous in skirt

Man must wear pants for the sake of society to function in a workable Manner :ohmy:

Bello 2012

Theres no excuse for another Bello ride to be called off again

Thanks to Ev for having the balls to persist
we did give u a chance to pull the pin but with doubts in everyones mind we persisted and came through and smashed the weekend with the trump card

I Was really excited to find someone who has a bike like mine Ev, yours is just a little younger than mine

Wr’s they make em tough (They could design a better stand though it was a race to the first tree there for a while, design fault i reckon, wouldn’t be maintenance)

yeh thursday was pissing down rain but we had a good day and the rest , well the only time u got wet was when u fell off in the lantana or rode through a creek(or over them slippery as all shit logs in my case )

some creeks were deeper than others 😆

(i was following our fearless leader , went a little to the right …………………and went a little under , thought i would push it to the edge and went a little further under oops )

Thanks too Stm for showing us some of his backyard and the boys on saturday for treating us too some of Macksville

I still reckon the right side of the Widowmaker is the go (in the dry)

Galey will write a novel and fill everyone in on the details

Once again thanks to those who participated , and special thanks to Ev and Stm for having a go

I didn’t buy my bike to look at it in the garage or as a posy photo on my phone

however i did get to see my bike from probably every aspect whilst on the trail wether on it or not and we all still got home in one piece

Except Galey , he has a black eye from bluing in the pub on Sat night :laugh:
Can’t take him anywhere

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Where r we off to next

[Bob DowsettMember]

Lets go

Galey get ur shit together , i’ll be there early so we can make a move this arvo if u want

we might even be able to get a room :ohmy:

as for all you locals who r pulling the pin harden up u can’t always have perfect conditions
(famous last words)

friday and saturday will be awsome, absolutely awseome

👿 👿 👿

[Bob DowsettMember]

You tamvegasians better get your bike gear ready as well we might stop off for a ride there as well

Have bike will travel

[Bob DowsettMember]

Well,

‘ve repacked my bag added snorkel and flippers ,paddle tyre ,and a spare ticker and a life jacket

How far is the nearest bike shop , i haven’t got any spare oil and i’ll need to change it on friday …………………..after i drown it on thurs avo

this could be called an adventure ride of the extreme kind
I have visions of long ,steep slippery as all f red clay hills with tree roots and carnage
and on the other side out of control slippery rocky downhills with raging rivers

Woo hoo Team extreme (Bit like exreme fishing with Good ole Robson

[Bob DowsettMember]

Cheers guys

See how we go

[Bob DowsettMember]

Come on
Who won
and what did they win

[Bob DowsettMember]

If hes riding in the pack ……………………………………….about 82 mins

If he has a go and trys to keep up with Aaron 12 mins

If he is Hungover 23 mins

If he isn’t in the mood or doesn’t want to get it dirty 120 mins

If its a true KTM it will break down before he falls off anyway

If hes acting a goat (or sees one on Heat) in the carpark 3 mins

[Bob DowsettMember]

Family and I did flinders ranges 15 months ago in a car and i reckon it would be excellent on a bike
