Yeah,, lucky boy he is for sure :dry:

Thanx,

Nice bag there mate
I will be after something similar but a tad smaller after I get the rear rack setup. The 690 has no rear subframe (that`s the reason for the double braces down the side to the peg area)
So I don`t want to load it up too much :whistle:

So this is the aftermath of poor old mates run in with a car on day ONE of the APC :dry:

I got a bit bored this weekend at home inbetween work & family duties, so I snuck downstairs into the cave at every opportunity !
Came up with this idea to store some tubes, levers, spare parts etc when I finally get out for a weekend trip on the 690.

Had some 90mm tube laying around & guess what? Cut it in half & it made two tubes just under 400mm each

Ducked over to Bunnings to get some end caps (grand total of around $11), stuck them on using the PVC adhesive I had at home

And Presto, Two storage Tubes ready for paint (you could leave them white also I suppose, but I had time to burn)

Made some lanyards for the lids (I had some hardware laying around that I had acquired on past boat build jobs)

All attached, just need to grab a couple of slightly longer worm drive clamps (mine were 20 mm too short)

Left some space between tubes & the Pannier frames for straps to secure the Andyz Bags

Best bit is,, It takes me all of 15mins to undo 8 bolts & the whole rack assembly is off
Easy as !!!

Well Done Boys :woohoo:
Can`t believe how dry the trails look for the amount of moisture we have been flogged with the past week around here :huh: :dry: :ohmy: :unsure: :blink: :laugh:

You have pulled it off again Murph !!!
Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]

Yep,
They did a tonne of planning & pre running / exploring to set the route hey ???
A massive adventure in itself I reckon,,,,
but it would kill me to set it up then have to sit in the office on the pc watching over the crew out on the course :whistle:

[Dwayne OMember]

Yeah mate,,,
Sounds like a great challenge actually

Well organised & looks like they have good coverage throughout the event (although they are pretty much on their own as far as everything goes out there , True ADV Style) :whistle:

Maybe one year in the future I will be up for something like this

[Dwayne OMember]

Onya Scotty,
Some great trails you covered there for a day out on your own

But, yeah,,,, Snow & Ice is getting a bit extreme there mate :blink: :whistle:

`Spose you guys have to expect it from time to time living where you do

Thanx for the report mate,,,, It brightened the end of my shitty day

Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]
