Most police trail bikes are DRZ’s. Why would they be stupid enough to spend an extra $4000 on something else that does the same job. :laugh:

Only slower:laugh: :dry: :laugh:

So they keep telling me. Funny thing is I ride the same trails at the same pace and turn up at the same locations as everybody else. Must just be my riding talent, or everyone elses lack off. :ohmy: :laugh:

Ditto scotty:lol:

I forgot to mention in the Saturday report that the kind hearts of the old bulls on the nundle ride raised over $100.00 in the donation tin taken to the pub with us. Top effort everyone, this apparently will be sent with a letter from old bulls to the RFS at nundle in appreciation of the generosity of Kathy?? For assisting in us to enjoy our interests in riding our dirt bikes by opening up her property for us to ride on with no questions asked.
Sunday
Following a top night at the pub and around the fire it was finally time for the Bollocks tour company to unleash its fury.
All the OBT photo shoots out of the way, back packs loaded with thermoses and other stuff for morning tea and Dan telling me it was the day I was to be filled in (he was smiling when he said it too) we were off.
Tourist stop 1,
Working gold mine turn off.
We stopped at the turn off and Bollocks said for all the fast ones to go ahead so I thought I’d bugger em up and bolt out in front, I could hear the boys behind me and we were having a ball, the trail was a windy access road and we had to keep our eyes out for oncoming traffic. We stopped at an intersection and super unit took the lead role, he can pedal the DRZ quite well too either that or he needs to leave the red cordial alone , we finally found the gold mine and dismounted to fossick away, well the unit and Mick G did. Leaving this mine DanD got in front and I thought he we go I`m gone but he stalled in the puddle (so I hear) and I was safe, crickey that 450 is angry! We found the trail to be blocked out past the mine so it was off to tour destination 2
Tourists stop 2
Hanging rock lookout
What a view, there will be some sweet photos from this stop as some of the boys got adventurist and went out to the edge(not my cup of tea in dirt bike boots). I asked unit to show us his back flip form but he declined lol. The smokers had a chance to suck a few in and then we were off to destination 3.
Tourists stop 3
Sheba dam/picnic at hanging rock
Bollocks went over the top on this one hot coffee, lamingtons and Anzac biscuits, how sweet was this deal, we stood around and yakked for about an hour our bellies full and warm then it was off to destination 4.
Tourists stop 4
Kathy`s farm detour
I hit the turn off second last due to having a look out over the view at the boundary of the property. Didn’t take long to work my way up behind KylieD and that’s when things went just a tad pear shape, we rounded a muddy/boggy corner and KylieD lost the front end and ended up A over K, I hit the fronts and the wheel rode up over a fair size rock and then my front connected with the WRs rear shooting my front wheel right and me left. The landing was OK cause I landed on top of poor KylieD ( I am soooooooooo sorry Kylie) Yes I did think she was seriously hurt because of the crying but it turned out she was bloody laughing, what a legend. Thanks Demmis, to the rescue instantly as normal. We dusted the mud off had a laugh and headed off to find the rest. I found DanD on the angry blue one waiting In a mud hole to roost me, he barked up the fiddy but missed by that much. I shot up a cow track only to find myself racing with mickG and DanD, Mick worked out how to stop me,,(them trees are hard Mick).The group looked like a mob of stranded sheep ,, they where spread all over the hillside in some fallen timber. I thought time was getting tight so turned around and headed for option B, I had no idea what option b was but Moose Chris and I found this gnarly creek crossing followed by a rock strewn long grass covered steep hill, what a ball, when we reach the part of the hill that the stock could actually graze on it was fronts in the air and play time, we couldn’t get Chris off his bike.
It was then we realized we were alone except for Vman and his supermodel husky on the tree line having an intimate moment with the camera, quick whistle and he made his way up to us. We decided to head to the trout farm entrance and wait for the rest because we had no idea where they were.
I could not believe we could have so much havoc and fun in about 5 ks of farm riding, at least no-one went down a wombat hole.
10 minutes later the lost sheep found us at the entrance to tourist stop 5.
Tourists stop 4

Trout farm
Unfortunately the Ds had to leave the group and return to their tin lids . I did offer to escort them back to nundle but they said that they would be fine. And they were.
First impressions were your joking his got 4 ponds and calls it a trout farm, how wrong was I. The tour was brilliant and informative, did you know trout go better when the water is running counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere,(something to do with something?)
I have never seen so many fish. Old mate netted some fish from the ponds to show us and explain their growing process.
Tour over for the day.
The ride back to nundle was a tad chilly.
Back at camp gear was packed, farewells were exchanged and everyone set off in their own directions until next time.

Best parts of the weekend

For me the whole weekend.
I will ride wingman for all of the Old bulls that attended this ride as that is what made it such a success. What a top bunch of people
Thank you all

yeh goody can`t wait for that one..hard to do a report when your out front leading the ride,I recon. I`ll try better for sundays ride.

Friday lunch time had arrived, 3 months of continuously saying to myself, what have I got myself into has come to and end,,OBT nundle 09 is finally here.

FRIDAY/SATURDAY report
Trucks loaded, farewells said to the family and I`m off, hooked up with Billy at 2.30 at our normal meeting place and then were on the road. Nundle for us is 40 minute.
Arrived at the caravan park and confirmed that everyone’s accommodation was sweet and got direction to our camp site, once camp was established we set off to find any other old bulls in the park, this is where we met PoppyD, kylies dad, Dave, top bloke, we had some concerns for them as it was taking so long for them to get there, but hey all was good as we seen the suby pull in to the caravan park. Welcomes’ were exchanged and we then unloaded their bikes,(we just do that up here Dan).
The rest of the crew dribbled in throughout the arvo and we decided to wait for the stragglers, Eagle and Chris before heading to the local for a beer,(I didn’t need any more).
We sat around the fire pit after we got back from the pub and got to know everyone better, I did pack a reserved for menace sign for a bit of fun, and didn’t it get a workout.
Saturday morning seen me being woken by Eagle and his ruddy video camera. Brekky was cooked wounds were licked and everyone started to get ready for the long anticipated nundle ride.
I held the ride brief explaining the Dangers we may come across in the form of piggers in their 4x4s and the fact we would be riding through 2 active logging areas.
7 ks of tar (sorry about that Chris, but they built the van park in the wrong spot) then it was into the forest we went. I had a route planned to get us to the local fire towers so the riders could see and appreciate the area we would be riding in but every trail I picked had a darn tree down on it, Apparently Bolls had his swim on this section of the ride. When your lead you do not get to enjoy the shenanigans’ that go on in the pack. Anyway I gave up and just headed to the main road to keep the ride flowing wasn’t long and we were walking 200 metres up a small incline to the fire tower lookout, My name was mud by the 100 metre mark. I must have swallowed a bug or a fly during the climb because I felt a tad ill at the summit.
The troops took in the view and agreed that it was worth the walk and that I would live a little longer.
Back on the bikes and it was time to show them where the dog on lino saying was used, How much fun is that wet red hard packed clay on a slight incline covered in pine needles, Narny had ball trying to spit me into the bush. I steered the posy towards the direction of one of the many single trails available to ride. At the end of the first single I had thumps up everywhere and people patting my back saying that trail was awesome, they had just started the best was to come. We set of into the pine timber tight single and Steve and I chased 4 sows that thought it would be fun to cross the trail in front of us. Out of the pine and off along a nice flowing wide single on route to the infamous Parachute hill. The other reports explain this hill pretty accurately. We headed along the black soil track that crosses the creek 5 times and apparently some people thought, (heck were at the creek let’s have a swim) sometimes leading is boring when all the fun is going on behind you. The ride wound its way out of the dam valley and onto the ridges towards the berry patch, I decided to regroup the team at an intersection and it was here that it was discovered there was no Eagle or Demmis, Mick g went back to lend a hand and all ended up well, it was only a slight hiccup on a hill.
We headed to the lunch venue and this is where my fun started, Dan pulls up behind me at the gate and proceeds to tell me that I had roosted him, (Unintentional of course) and I just looked at the muddy puddle in front of me as we were waiting for the gate to be opened, bugger me if Dan didn’t read my mind, bang the 4 fiddy runs into the narny’s rear wheel, I`m off balance and Dans heading for the puddle, Instinct took over throttle open I`m off heading to a big muddy puddle in front of us, Dan and I rubbed elbows and held the bikes open to race to the mud. I can say that was fun; we played for about 2 ks then we hit the berry patch boundary and had to behave. All the above took about 4 hours to do.
Lunch was consumed; bikes fuelled and were off, more single on our way back to the creek using a different trail. We made it to the weirs and I reminded everyone about the hill we were about to ascend, as the other reports say this thing seems to be over and then it just keeps going, This was where moose flew past on the ONLY Honda on the ride and full on roosted me with rocks,(enjoy your slab) I will do a distance check on the climb next time I`m riding it. All got up and that was the end of the technical stuff. We belted along a twin for about 7 ks dodging the odd wallaby then I shot us back into the pines for some more singles, when we come out the other side I was doing a head count and the group had grown by 4, every one looses riders not me I find strangers, we picked up a couple of blokes that thought they would tag along for a while. Durries where had and I threw the choice at a very tired looking group, singles or mains on the way home,, there was no arguing and mains was selected.
Back at camp no breakages no injuries, 3 months of worrying over and a brilliant ride to boot.
The bench racing at the pub was good to listen to as I missed all of it being up front,(I did get to play with Dan, and Steve on that ruddy 310 that fair dinkum hammers)The gift of a stubby holder was given out a few brewskies and tea was had then it was back to camp we headed and off to the fire pit and sat down and listened to some of the most hilarious stories I’ve every heard, Thanks Vman and Unit, All I can say is thank god for public education(you had to be there).
Photos and sundy report to come.

Cheers
Boony

Hey spidy even after all this taunting and people spending a katrillion dollars to roost me at nundle, I`m still blowing you the worlds biggest rasberry coz you wont be on this eppic ride:P this ride will be brilliant,shame you wont be up here with all of us, and I recon I will be enjoying some of the beer and rum that the punters will be winning off you for the best roost on boony, coz I recon they will all be in for a shot as I`m the judge of the winner, not a bad prize boys slab of beer and rum for throwing a bit of mud at me,,

Lets just say that the roost spidy prize, donated by Boony at louee will be a humdinger…Iv`e started saving for it..

yeah, yeah, like….whatever girlfriend:laugh: :laugh:

the rules of the “boonwit, roost him in sh!t” competition are as follows…

1)the judging will be a mutual decision of all nundle ride representitives, thats all of you…except boony, he is too corrupt and will try bribing everyone:laugh: :laugh:

2)my final decision is FINAL!!! and only i will make the final decision!!

3)photo proof must be provided, preferably an action shot, which will be unlikely, but a shot of boony and his bike covered in aftermath will suffice.

4)the deemed winner must notify me of their preferred beverage and tell me what a slab of it costs them at their local bottle-o. they must provide me with their banking details via PM so i can send them the funds to buy it…or if they like, i will bring it to Louee, gift wrapped!!!

5)if i am led to believe the winner has conversed with boony and agreed to give him even a sniff of an empty can out of the slab….the deal will be null and void!! the winner will then be shamed, publically and will be the target of the next roosting comp at louee…:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: and the slab will go to the second place getter, upon my approval.

6)the winner must agree that the menace is a f**ken cool bloke for giving them the slab, and post, in full detail, how much fun it was roosting the sh!t out of the boonster!!!

7)these rules and regulations may change without notice…within reason of course.

8)the said “roost” must be a better effort than BOLLOCKs, as that was a cohersive set up for sure…(i might be dim, but im not stupid!!!)

9)any “loopholes” found herein, or bending of these set rules will not be tolorated. anyone found to be trying to do this will have to buy me a slab!!!

now, go get him crew:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

i may not be able to be there, but i will be smiling all weekend knowing……

👿 👿 👿

i hope you all have a safe and awesome ride……

godspeed, and roost hard!!!!!!

love, menace:kiss:

Oh you will be thought of at nundle,trust me, and if the roost is good enough i`ll go halves in buying the slab with you, but theres conditions to that..
