    Coming along well so far:

    Tinted all windows, 5%,
    Dual Battery with Isolator and deep cycle battery,
    15″ DVD Roof Mount Player
    Carpeted entire Back,
    Redone centre section of roof with Ply and covered
    Plyed and covered all old vinyl panels
    New Pioneer stereo with new speakers and Bluetooth,
    Some Graphics on the outside by master signwriter reynolds.
    Removed unneeded seats, still have enough to carry 7 people
    Storage box in back that houses the electrics,
    1500wt Inverter to run 250v stuff
    Towbar and wiring fitted.
    Lots of 12v outlets, kids need to charge their I-Gadgets.
    Welded up a side step this weekend just need to find someone to bend the checkerplate nicely

    I’ve done 99% myself, all accessories are wired to the 2nd deep cycle battery, I have wired in a switch just in case main battery
    goes flat can press this and use 2nd battery to start.

    Still to do

    Chasing a nudge bar for front if anybody knows where to get cheap
    Add 2nd stero to back, off dual battery (probably use the old one or a cheapy new one)
    Speakers for DVD

    The white cupboard is not part of it, just in the way.

    Medogrocket and I have decided to do two different styles of rides.

    Mal5.1’s group will be a kind of introduction to grade 3. The terrain will be grade 3 with a fair bit of fire trail, a few hill challenges but will be aimed at the less experienced riders that want to try a bit more technical stuff. I’ll ask the more experienced riders in this group to help, encourage and offer advice to the less experienced riders so that they enjoy the ride as well. And my group will be riding off at a more respectable time of 9am ish. There is still frost at 10am around here.

    Medogrocket’s group will be the more experienced riders that don’t want to do Galey’s ‘hills of death’ ride. He will use some of the same tracks from my loop and Galey’s loop and throw some other good stuff in as well. As he said he will be winging it most of the way but he does know his way around. He also knows the snotty stuff that Galey will be using and avoid it like the plague (maybe).

    You can choose which rider you would like to follow on the day, pm me or you can ride on your own if that’s your thing.

    The first post will be updated as well.

    Mal have you organised sweeps, I’d be happy to sweep either of your rides and take some photos too.

    I’d be happy to sweep for you too Mal if you need another.

    Cheers,
    Lefty

    Thanks guys.

    I have a couple of top sweeps organised. But I will ask any of the experienced riders tohelp out through the pack.

    Chris you can be the photographer only if you wear a pink vest. :P

    Lefty you will be a great mid pack sweep, riders will think they are being coached by a 14 year old. :laugh: Good stuff mate, it will be good to have you on one of my rides. :)

    Pink is fine Mal and I’ll bring the high heels for lefty.

    Hi all, I have organised a semi-pro photographer and film maker for the weekend, we will be dropping him at different spots throughout the days, he will then edit and compose a DVD of the weekend dvd’s will be available 2 weeks after the ride, there will probably be a $10.00 charge for the dvd but this is TBA.

    Cheers
    Chris.

    WTF

    I must have a nack of starting some sort of crazy shit

    I thought we were going camping and riding motorbikes
    know it looks like we r going to someones f@#$%^&* wedding and we have to pay a covercharge to get in to the bloody thing
    do we have to wear a tie

    and the comedic entertainment has blown out to some ……… bloke in a spider kini

    it must be the adv rider input or something i don’t know

    I’ll start again

    I’m looking for a spit or 2 I’ll supply the lamb/s

    I’m going camping and riding

    and if someone wants to let me ride there new efi wr that would be good

    if all else fails Mal we will use yours get blind and watch these crazy people at the Bromance wedding apparently at the same spot (if i could be bothered to find that photo of a famous bromance i would ….but i can’t)

    ??? :huh: Chris and I thought it would be a good thing to have the main dinner catered for mate. The dinner cover charge would cover as listed below

    Chris’s thoughts were to free everybody up from cooking and rooting around. It helps us get the evenings auctions under way knowing everybodies eaten, beats stuffing around after a full days riding doesnt it :dry:

    TB

    Lamb anyone lets cook this puppy up.

    Hey Wolfie, TB is probably asleep, I would say yes if you can bring firewood… We were hunting for it last time so the more the better.
