After a lenghty discussion with the great Boony,we have agreed that there will we adventure riding on this ride aswell :cheer:
It is the Old Bulls Christmas ride,and there are plenty of Old Bulls out there who Adventure ride and the mixing of both riding categories will make this on hell of a weekend :woohoo:
I personaly will be taking both bikes to Nundle.Dirt squirting Friday arvo,and adventure riding Saturday and Sunday morning.
you can either adventure ride to Nundle,or bring your bike on a trailer,your call
I will need confirmation from members and what you want to do.
If the expressions of interest from members is positive the ADV ride will be Saturday and Sunday.
PM me so i can add you to the list below.

ADV riders
Bollocks Sat & Sun

Unsure just yet Boll, But if I can`t organise a trailer to get the bike there I will probably go for your idea.
Maybe MickP, Lotsa, Gav, Joe etc will be interested in riding up, if that is the case I might tag along cause it is a ripper run up thru that way to Nundle by all reports

Bol :woohoo:

Nundle is an awsome place to ride, and the Berry Patch lunch is always a pearler :woohoo:

Will be away for a couple of weeks prior to the party so will be hanging for a ride by then :whistle:

Hey Beagle, why dont you run the ADV ride from newy up and then the ADV ride to the berry patch and around the area?

Boony

I don`t think so at this stage mate :whistle:
Unless there is a big interest in a run like that with decent numbers, then it could be possible.
I`d rather the usual trail on the sat though, its always good riding (even with the old trails gone) :S

Yeah mate,
I bought the 100 gm tube which is a fair whack of putty and plan to keep half of it in my bumbag from now on
You know, I had thought of getting some for abut a year now & never needed it till Sunday :whistle: :pinch:

[Dwayne OMember]

Cool bananas
Give us a report after camerons (they should be grouse)

[Dwayne OMember]

I spotted Scala Headsets at SCA the other day on clearance for $155
or have you already got them Mick ?

[Dwayne OMember]

Talk to this bloke Boll http://www.dmme.com.au/
He is an ADV member & Steve from ADV Moto would know him anyway….
Apparently he is good with this stuff, it is his business

[Dwayne OMember]

ALL SORTED
Pulled the switchblock totally apart, good cleanout with Contact Cleaner , bit of inspection and presto she fired into life
Back together with a good hit of Electrical Silicone and she is perfect,,, Also consumed a couple of cold beers in the process

Test ride to work tomorrow to check the radiator repair :whistle:

[Dwayne OMember]

I try to remember to open the Bleed Screws after each full days ride and store the bike up on a liftstand when not riding (if it is sitting for mare than two days anyway)

Think it helps with reducung pressure & wear on the seals etc, could be wrong but it can`t hurt I reckon :whistle:

[Dwayne OMember]

Good read so far guys,,,

Where`s the rest of the pics/vids ?????

[Dwayne OMember]

:laugh: Thanx for the tuition Boony,
It was one of those stupid ohh F%#* moments really,,,
Still shaking head after running hot & wide into first corner after lunch, then seeing offending vehicle through the trees coming at Kat in the middle of the track , watching, watching, still watching as Kat squeezed by but not watching what or where I was going :dry:

Doh!!! Too Late :whistle: :laugh:
There was also a ratehr deep hole/drain just another metre oast where I stopped which I had no intention of ploughing into head first (would have looked like Mick on the Hill End ride in his famous ditch shot) :silly:

[Dwayne OMember]

Glad you all find it amusing :blink: :whistle: :laugh:

Anyway, this arvo I completed the repair to the radiator guard mount.
Had cleaned out the putty from yesterday, sanded the area, thoroughly degreased it etc

Then applied the “Knead It” Auto Epoxy Putty in a nice bead, before tapping the lug back into place before applying some more then smoothing off

After an hour cure I whacked on some paint, near as good as new

Gonna let it set another 24 hours before a test run to double & triple check for any leak. I reckon it should be apples, it was a rather small leak anyway & the lug popped back in rather firmly with a light tap.
Will be watching it very closely for a few weeks just in case
