Murph always carries a couple of straps for hauing bikes up his obstacles,,,, just means you won`t be eligible for a prize for being “UNASSISTED” 👿

Ive got feeler gauges for cleaning out weeping fork seals and a Ballards mini chain breaker (its a good piece of gear). Spare gear lever………

TB has pretty well got it covered

I found the fender bags to be no good. I lost one with quite a few bucks worth of tools in it and another one came flying off but I saw it and stopped to pick it up, haven’t used one since.
No bumbag for me its all in a tool roll and put in my Camel Back

A couple of well placed Strong cable ties (thru metal loops on the Fender bag & aroung Fork Leg or similar point) will help in that situation LC:whistle: I did almost lose mine once but the cable ties tip I picked up elsewhere helped a lot;)
Also forgot to mention that I carry a torch too ,,,,,
And along the lines of an “ICE TAG” but El Cheapo, I have a laminated sheet with a copy of my licence, emergency contact details, Blood Type etc etc

Might try & do some pics tomorrow arvo if I can find all my gear (it`s downstairs somewhere in the Man Cave):laugh:

Yeah, good thread this one,,,,,

Mine is pretty much the same, but I also have a good quality pocket knife, a Multi tool knife & a ciggy lighter in there as well
Recently added a silver shock blanket, after we used one on the Caves to Caves ride with AidanK on his Beemer:whistle:
I do carry a smallish first aid kit in my backpack, but the blanket was an adition I thought of;)

Keep the ideas coming guys

Hey I would like to come on this 3rd bday ride, is it just show up on the day?

Yep, now that you are an OLD BULL mate, just show up at the start point.
Good idea to read the frist post carefully on this one, as you need to bring everything to be self sufficient (camp gear, food, fuel, grog etc etc) It will be carried by one of the 3 support cars, but you need to have it there for the start;)

I`m sure TB will chime in, as he is the main organiser as such :whistle:

Cheers

[Dwayne OMember]

There,,, You did the job I should have done when I did the valve shimming on the KLX:whistle:

Nice easy to follow instructions ,pic by pic, any mug can do it really (as I found out myself):laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

Stuff It,,,
I will just bring it,, It worked so well at the Poker Run.
Must remember Gas Bottle this time though :whistle: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

I have the four burner that I used last year on the Poker Run & Xmas BBQ mate, but would be good if someone closer has one to throw in a trailer:dry:

But If really needed I can throw it in with my gear & Jeffro`s and yours etc etc :whistle:

Let me know, no hurry, we have a few weeks yet don`t we ??????:laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

Got the racks for $370 delivered, which I reckon is a pretty good deal ($520 odd new)

Thanks fellas,

Clarky

Get onboard then Clarky;)
It will be a blast & probably the biggest turnout of OLD BULLS this year!!! Close to you too, which is a bonus:)

Welcome to the site anyway mate,,, Hope to see you there in a few weeks

[Dwayne OMember]

Remind me to grab a bottle when I come down TB,
I will give it a go instead of the Kero:whistle:

[Dwayne OMember]

No need for any apologoes I reckon Jimbo,
Some good point are raised in that thread by all I reckon;)

I too like TB, had visits from police one day as there was a complaint rung in about ilegals ripping back & forth down our residential street,,,, I happened to be washing my bike in the back yard (which opened to a back dirt access road where the bikes rode)
He quizzed me on where I ride & checked my rego etc etc etc, we got to chatting for a long time on the local issues & there was a fully enclosed trailer he was interested in catching parked there, as it was out of rego by 18 months:huh:
He never caught them, cause they spotted his car & took off for another 4 hrs into the scrub & waited for him to go (there were about 8 bikes he could have got too)

We seem to be fighting a never ending battle to keep our sport clear of idiots, maybe we never will, who knows???

Cheers mate

[Dwayne OMember]

Thanx Guys, I am pumped to say the least, it should be able to haul me round wherever I need ,or more importantly am game to go:whistle:
just need to be able to hang on tight!!!!

Secured the purchase of Touratech Stainless Pannier frames this morning (should hold the Andy Strapz real good)
The only other gear I am planning on is the Safari Tank & Touring screen, maybe Tecknik suspension upgrade if I don`t get one thats already done.

[attachment=2464]Touratechracks.jpg[/attachment]

Just waiting on some good news late next week to seal the deal on the purchase of the new weapon:woohoo:

[Dwayne OMember]

Hi Pete & welcome to OBT mate,

Mick is spot on with his advice I reckon, the new 300`s have the torgue to poke along or tractor up snotty hills if you wish or more importantly need to:whistle:

Just wait for OLLIE to jump in with the lowdown on the Gas Gas mate, he is a huge fan (you will make up your own mind):laugh:

Good Luck whichever way ou decide to go, whatever you choose will get you out there which is the most important step:woohoo:

Cheers
ps, whereabouts is Gellibrand ????
