Good luck with the new steed Wigster
At least the stress of setup is relieved with all the knowledge and groundwork already done tried, tested & proven

Will be a pity to see the Tiger gone though ,,,,,, :whistle:
Hope to get a ride in with you again soon mate to check out the new ride

[Dwayne OMember]

Well I have to get myself to the Blackbutt next week to buy Troy a few beers and shake his hand
Second attempt and he has done it, and in 37th place.
Shane Deiner 38th and Allan Roberts 39th,,,
All 3 remaining Aussies got to finish across the finish podium as a team :woohoo:

Aussies on the finish line together as a team

I reckon Troy & Shane look happy with their results

Rider is Riaan Van Niekerk of South Africa and it is a legit pic apparently :laugh:
I have seen it in larger size and they are boots he is wearing not sneakers,
hTink I saw it on the highlight vids as well come to think of it a few days ago

Hope his lid was on the bottle :silly:

What`s the odds that this bloke got a time penalty after ROOSTING Mr. Etienne (Dakar Director) :laugh:

Message from Stephen “The Bear” Tunley on TZ Facebook,
Makes mention of Suttos backed Troy O`Connor and Mark Davidson and how well Troy is going in the final days of the event,,,
Troy is going well and holding 37th place just ahead of Allan Roberts and Shane Deiner a bit back down the field…

THE BEAR DOES DAKAR: GO TROY!
I just finished a long chat with Aussie rider Troy O’Connor and he’s in good shape. He hit his ribs hard in a dune today and had light strapping and some very good pills from the Polish team!
He has a great team from Suttos and there is a great sense of camaraderie. Mark Davidson is assisting him and his experience adds some additional value, along with ace tuner Max Sullivan.
Troy’s riding a KTM and it’s performing well – there’s no question the 450 RR is a great bike.
It just such a great shame that these blokes don’t get more coverage and sponsorship – their skills, focus and determination shows that real Aussie spirit and with a few more $$$ we could have two or three blokes in the top 20 and from there it’s not too far to being a genuine contender! – Stephen ‘The Bear’ Tunley

I think a lot of sites must have been hacked in some way by these turds….

EBAY was shit and is still not right, PAYPAL is still offline and some other sites are still not back to normal :angry:

February has 28 days , which actual days are you considering Shane ?

I’ll be at Frying pan CK on the Sat of the 2nd weekend , pissed by 4 pm I’d reckon , provided the rains don’t make it a wash out , Frying Pan in Summer can be a total water fest if huey sends her in to batter the BMW crowd with copious amounts of rain .

Looking at my roster I only have one other weekend off work in Feb , so my chances are slim :angry:
Fuggin work gets in the way of havin fun toooooo often .

Hey Al,

First weekend of Feb mate, just to miss the BMW crowd, im sure they are a top bunch of blokes they just take up a lot of room, probably the high concentration of beer related girth :laugh:

Hope you can make it

That clashes with the Adv ride up at Wauchope then , I can’t do that because of work , so I miss both

I might just be there for the KRR as well AL,,,
Just waiting on the work delivery schedule, I am already out for the nav ride so hoping to make the KR for a gander.

Cheers

I smell another bike build project coming up real quick :laugh: :laugh:

Good onya Wigster , sounds like a good plan

[Dwayne OMember]

Great offer there guys ,,,

Thanx for the support,, now I am extra bummed I`m unable to attend that :unsure:

[Dwayne OMember]

Nice work King & Fuchsy, good report to for a pre run

Sure beats my weekend of working in the yard and under the house getting stuff out the front for council pickup (at least I saved a couple of onions not having to visit the local tip)

Even helped the neighbour fell a couple of trees :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

Damn,
He did a job on himself then mate :unsure:

Shame when it comes to this and looking like not getting back onto a bike, let alone the other issues he is having,,,
Please pass on that I was only just wondering on Friday where he was up to with the recovery,,

Thanx for the update too mate

[Dwayne OMember]

Looks like Deiner & Roberts have paired up & Troy was 20 odd positions ahead of them both in 32nd after CP1

Click on the boxes next to the riders and see what waypoint they have cleared, click on the waypoints on the map and it shows positions and times of all thru that point,,,

There was an additional fee the competitors could pay to have there entire track covered for family and associates to follow. Like our Spot trackers I guess :laugh:

ASO organisers can see every competitors position from the GPS for , safety reasons.

Heres an example from the sup regs that has an hour penalty..

2) The GPS – Sentinel must be in operation throughout the running of each Stage and must be
connected directly to the battery of the Machine.
The operation of the GPS-Sentinel is the responsibility of the Rider.
If it is noted that the system is not in operation, through the fault of the Rider, the following
penalties will apply:
 1 hour for Riders classified among the first 15 overall, and A.S.O. Elite Riders
