That is one Beautiful Shepherd there Steve;)
Sorry, I have a 12 yr old dog already that wouldn`t mix with Rani:( Otherwise I would have loved to help out mate,,, We had a male Shepherd some time back & he was an awsome dog too (although rather a handful at 78kg of muscle):lol:

Good Luck with it all

Krusty’s DR did the trailer of shame trip, he decieded not ride because his bike needed roll starting (closed valves again) and wasnt idling well. And the lone Kawasaki :S well lets say it held a DRs hand homeOh yeah the route

EAGLE`s Nabiac Run,

Well, after another 2 hour sleep after a week of Dogwatch, I woke to a message from TB! They wear an hour to an hour & a half from Laguna, so I kitted up & headed off to attempt a meet up at the Wine Bar. It was already quite warmish as I left & just got warmer & drier as I headed out thru Sugarloaf, Mulbring, Abernethy, Cessnock, Bellbird & finally arrived at Wollombi Tavern where they were nowhere to be seen, so I hiked it to Laguna & the guy at the bar assured me they had not been there as yet So I stripped down a bit with a cool drink & sat in the shade for only 10 mins before they rolled in.

The commuter waitin at Laguna

After a few greetings and a cool ale, we all headed off up Watagan Creek Rd into the dusty Wattos!!!
It was interesting how Chris had a little laydown on the Kato 690 on a seemingly nothing doing section, breaking a mirror & bending his bars!!! :blush: Apparently it wasn`t his first for the day either , but he seemed to peddle pretty damn well the remainder of the day.

On arrival at the Kitchener Pub we did the usual & hit the Bar with a vengeance before setting up camp in the Beer Garden that the publican kindly let us use for the night for a small fee (we even got to use the showers) . After we ordered dinner, Jeffro rolled in with beer in hand to check on the proceedings, and I think was not surprised to see us all fairly well on the way to a cheery night!!!
Camp was setup & thank god we did camp out as it was hot as 40 Arabian Summers upstairs where the rooms were :unsure:

Tb working on the Ten`s brake pedal

All had hit the sack by 9.30 to attempt some sleep in readiness for the hot blast to come the next day!!!

More of the story & more pics to come later;)

Cheers,
Rack is an Eagle Fabrications special home made job :laugh:
It is a temp setup tied to the standard KLX tiny rack (remember that thing???)

I used some ally I had around home & bought some C Section for $16 & two WR blinkers for $20!!!

Will see how it holds up,,,, hence the reason for lugging the bags & gear next weekend,, think of it as a test for the Kwaka

See here,, Rack has blinkers attached & I can simply disconnect wiring (bullet connectors), undo 4 bolts & off she comes all together,,,, Just wanted to keep bags well away from the pipe :blink:

This was a pic of mid way thru the build, it has been riveted & corners braced on completion!!!

[Dwayne OMember]

Ok,
Thought I`d give the campout ADV syle thing a go on friday night instead of softing it in a pub room :laugh:
Might as well seeing I have a set of bags on loan & possibly a pair coming secondhand soon

This will give me a basic setup ready for the next steed whenever it arrives :dry: :huh: soon I hope
Am still travelling light (no cooking gear or extra spares etc)
I do have a tent, fly, camp mat, sleeping bag, clothes, towel and some extra fuel

From “Super Commuter” to “Super Adventurer” :woohoo:

[Dwayne OMember]

To “BigHead” DiddleyDoo,
A very Happy Birthday to YOU :laugh:
