I hope all you guys are OK up in the Hunter and Blue Mountains. Must have been majorly scary for a while (though you sounded pretty relaxed when I spoke to you yesterday TB).

Conditions easing a bit today but still no RAIN.

If we are not riding this week end due to the fires I’ve got the week end off any way, so if any one needs a hand ferrying stuff about I’ve got a couple of utes available (though I can only drive one at a time!)

Give me a shout.

Good onya Wigster
Hopefuly will see you Sat arvo somewhere

Its quite cool up in Newy at the moment, but the Southerly is ripping trees, twigs, leaves & crap everywhere again,,,,
So no doubt the smoke is with it from the fires still burning :whistle:

No wonder the fire fighters are still on edge a bit despite the cooler change!!!

:laugh:
On further investigation all Wolfman Bags are to come with the Universal Strap kit standard from mid October…
This gives users the option I guess of mount abilities

As I orderd mine early the same week I may have missed out on that :whistle: Mine were on back order waiting for a Black set so hey,,,, you never know until they arrive I guess

Fingers crossed for tomorrow now :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

CORRECT CAPTAIN

That`s why I like the look of the universal kit as I have Touratech racks and they will work just fine

It`s no surprise that Jason is producing some great rack setups, he is a perfectionist!
Oh Yeah, great work by the Wolfman too

[Dwayne OMember]

No worries mate.
I will shout you a few brews to help the de-stressing mate

Hopefully something changes in our favour and it all goes ahead hey

Yeah gateshead Newcastle. The fire is only 3 ks away from where I am

So the guy on the gate was asleep again when you slipped thru then I take it ??? :pinch: :laugh:

I have been watching that Gateshead – Dudley smoke from my front verandah the past hour actually. It is pushing back across with the wind change we had a few hrs ago

I big chopper headed right over my house most likely from the Minmi fire to Gateshead checking out the situation.

[Dwayne OMember]

Any updated thoughts on this going ahead ???

As much as I am hanging for a ride it is rather daunting to think about the conditions in the scrub atm :unsure:

[Dwayne OMember]

Damn conditions are again causing problems in many areas according to the latest update.
Bilpin – Mount Wilson area again under threat,
Minmi fire again gaining momentum,
A large fire burning uncontained and inaccessable near the Putty Rd…

And R.I.P the Helo Pilot that tragically lost his life west of Ulladulla this morning

Not looking good at this stage for any riding again this weekend :blink: :S

[Dwayne OMember]

I trust things are a tad easier going today ???

Things got a bit wild up on a couple of spots in Newy yesterday , the smoke was thick all night :whistle:
Kind of glad I moved from Minmi 3 yrs ago, as it was one of the suburbs under threat. I went tru that same threat in `94 and was on the roof of the local shop and houses close by for hours in that one,,,

It makes you realise how vulnerable we really are when you are faced with that situation :S

[Dwayne OMember]

I think they will have access from the back street Murph, the shed runs right thru.
I have been walking around the blocks there on Monday nights while the young bloke is at Tennis squad, and the guys have been busy setting up the workshop and renovating the insides in readiness for opening.
Still gets busy in the back street, but I think might just be better than the old location (parking there was bad too)

Or just park in the Maccas carpark and walk over :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

You of all people surely didn`t need any more power Al !!!

Keeping those young blokes up there on their toes hey? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Dwayne OMember]

Yeah mate,
I heard the updated forecast on the news and am not surprised all in the Blue Mountains area and surrounding region are concerned :S

Great work by those offering assistance and moral support, sorry I am not involved or able to help actually :whistle:

Our thoughts are with you all ,,,

[Dwayne OMember]

Keep safe and out of trouble tomorrow if you are anywhere near the fire affected areas guys & gals ,,,
Sounds like a real horor of a day on the way :dry:

[Dwayne OMember]

Ben is in this clip a couple of times #18

[Dwayne OMember]

All the Best to the Hobbit :laugh:
Happy Birthday mate

With friends like that bunch you have up there,, WHO NEED ENEMIES 😆

[Dwayne OMember]

Yep he was in Morocco training with Marc Coma prior to the event and it has obviously paid dividends :woohoo:

No sign of the Frog (Despres) on the Yamaha ????

Dakar 2014 has taken on a new air of excitement for sure now
GO GRABBO GO !!!
