Next we offed into one of Snowys favourites, loosely called one of many valley of dooms. Luckily we took the easy direction , down hill, but believe it or not it was more overgrown than Kokoda. :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: Even the bullet pruff DRZ boiled ( promise of more surprises to come. One high point was Boonys Kato expiring . I went back uphill to rescue our stranded sweep.
Normal questions:-
Polly “whats wrong “
Boony “it wont go no power”
Polly ‘Where is the fuses”
Boony ” F Nose”
Polly ” Before I get the NRMA for u , have you checked the choke ?? “
Boony ” Yeah Polly go get Damos …. please”After finding Damos a bit down the steamy jungle, I managed to get him to help the luckless Boony.
Result Boony finally found where his Kato’s fuses were kept. with Damos assist.Other blokes have their “fuses” hidden in other places ???? ( in Joke 👿 👿 )
After all of us finally extricating our tired bodies / MCs out of the doom land we got onto some nice open singles and cooled down back to the beer camp..
Saturday a new day , more starters Bols ( now mounted on a red 450) , Nags ( making a guest appearance after a 4 year layoff ) Buzz & Aaron .
We all had a great blast from the camp out to the highway then started back into the singles. Unfortunately it was in the singles where I lost the plot and had a big falling out with the yellow bike.
It all happened so quick , one minute just cruisin without a care, next second lying under yer bike pondering is my body going to work??
After getting my breath back and realising my riding was done for the weekend it was a slow ride back to base camp.I must thank ALL of the guys for being so supportive and helpful during my little orf.
So there my ride report stops, but the fun continued ….
I have some pics , I will load them in a few days – my net con is severely restricted – overdrawn account.Polly

SATURDAY
This was to be our big ride day, snowy had planned a ripper of a route and we were as keen as kids in a lolly shop, Aaron arrived and we started to get ready. The day was going to be a warm one. :blink:
I lead the troops along some real nice overgrown fire trails then out to the highway. There is a guide post somewhere in NSW with OBT 18/2/12 on it, yell out of you find it. :whistle: :whistle:
I handed the vest to Snowy :pinch: and off we went on what has to be some of the best single trails in the country. The pace was good the ride was flowing ok, came over a crest only to find a few bikes stopped and the boys were looking at a downed rider, :ohmy: Turned out Polly had somehow binned it big time and landed back/kidneys first on a log in the grass and it hurt. :blush: The tuff bugger rode on but the pain got to him so we took him back to camp. We made sure he was fine and then in true Tamworthian fashion we went riding. :whistle: The next obstacle was a rather challenging hill, only 6 of the group made it and the others went around it to meet up with the group. Poor Bollocks left his goggles halve way up it and had to walk back up and get them, it near killed him. :woohoo: :woohoo:
After we had regrouped I had some of the best side by side high speed riding I have ever had, Steve the local KTM dealer.(Cycletune Tamworth) can ride like you would not believe and crikey his KTM 250 throws some stones. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Next on the Snowy tour of doom was the valley of doom 4, :ohmy: this is where things slowly started turning to poo for some. We finally got the entire crew up so it was down to the stamper for a break. House decided he didn’t want to die from heat exhaustion so in the freezing cold creek he went, about 3 seconds later after some of us looked at each other in we went too, boots and all, god it was cold but bloody nice, good call house. 
The next trail is one I will not forget in a hurry, the first steep hill was just pure carnage, Rick and I must have chose the right line because we rode around some really good riders, I stopped at the top to help the boys up. Bolls got up on the cranky one and then a rider went off his nut at me because he reckoned i was the cause of him not making up the hill so he threw abuse at me at the top of his voice. I put the strap around his fork , dragged him and his bike up and then i continued to wear and ear full. Handy hint to that rider, DO NOT ABUSE THE PEOPLE HELPING YOU, :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: Oh and when experienced rider like Aaron, Damus, Steve, House give you guidance on how to ride some obstacles, it would pay to listen. He may notice that I rode around him on the hills on the following days ride instead of assisting him like I would normally do. 👿
We then rode a main trail that led us to a track that would link us up to where we needed to be, I was scooting along following Aaron when I jumped over some small logs across the track, and I don’t know what made me do it but i turned around just in time to see Buzz bin it big time. :ohmy: I quickly turned around to give him a hand. He stood the yammy up only to discover he had mooshed a radiator.
That was that ride over for the day. Due to the time we spent helping a rider through some obstacles it was pretty late by the time the boys had the yammy doctored up, so we limped home to the esky’s. :dry:More later
