I have been watching this build and the ride planning for a while,, the tanks and fairing are an interesting kit, especially with the cost of importing the RR gear from the UK lately :blink: There has already been at least one Old Bull making firm enquiries ….
I reckon they will have guys lining up to purchase as soon as they are tested and available

I think last weekends Latte Run had nearly as much single as one of your days out in the Hills of Gold and I can tell you that Jacobs Lader made Parachute Hill a walk in the park :silly: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Mount Bollocks might just come close or beat it by an inch 😆
G`Day Smally,
Great part of the world you live in there mate.
My parents reside in sunny Gulmarrad just over the hill from you, Spud, Rob400 & Jacko
I will be up there for a couple of days in late September .That is a funny bunch you hang out with too :laugh:
Day one Dinner to the End,,,
Saturday night dinner was great at the Nambucca Motel, smorgasboard Chinese dishes as well as Roast meat & veges followed up with Pav and Ice cream. Yum yum
Then we had the riders brief for Sunday as well as GPS loading. TB and Steve held a bit of a presentation with some prizes and T shirts being handed out for helping Puddles etcThe beers flowed and so did the jargon well into the night. I think the King put on a good show and his face and body told the tales Sunday morning :sick: 😆
Riders started to gather in groups near reception just after breakfast. TB had long gone and also absconded with our 3rd Amigo Lefty PTW had done a clutch cable sweeping the sat loop and then lost 3rd gear (and all those below it) and was brought in after dark by Steve, so a lead position had to be filled :whistle:
Ace & I had planned with Trailraider to tag along on the Sunday run, so the group remained the 3 Amigos afterall.Heading off into a brilliant sunny day and west into the mountains in search of the intimidating Jacobs Ladder. TB & King had painted the picture at the rider briefing and I reckon there were some nervous souls about to take it on with some added headaches (alcohol induced of course) :unsure:
The run through the hilltops was superb, every type of terrain was there, great views here & there through the trees also and the dust played havoc with our eyes a little more than the day before.
Then we found ourselves at 845m and the lookout with a view that is awesome, especially on such a clear day (I reckon there wouldn`t be too many day as clear as that in that country normally)Next was yep you guessed it,,,, what went up had to go down,,, and down vert rapidly we went.
It was first gear, stay well off the rear brake and ride the loose gravely slide from erosion mound to mound, thank god there were mounds to be able to compose oneself and poke over to continue the descent to the bottom.
It really wasn`t as bad as I had expected, would be something to be shit scared off in the wet though!!!We then wound out way through some more great trails and pristine forest to Taylors Arm and the well known Pub with No Beer. There is always beer at a pub, and this one is no different, although our group were content with a cool Coke or a Lemon Squash
After that was more fantastic riding through a trail the passed over causeways and followed a rocky river and waterholes and eventually we came out into farmland and headed into the back of Frederickton for a famous Freddo Pie. Well I had a great sausage roll and we had another encounter with a different kind of local looking for a car, then his phone, then trying to act as a Foreign Cash Exchange before MickP made a joke about his hat and it`s familiarity with our mate “Losta Lotsa” and he then took off south in another car :blink: Weird fellow he was :whistle: :silly: :silly: :silly:
The rest of the arvo was a blurr for me really, I was getting tired and the dust had made it`s way into the eyes making navigating a bastard with the sun over our shoulder and dust on the GPS screens.
This is where we sent Trailraider to the front for the remainder of the ride as he had a bigger screen and was setting a cracking pace, loving it he wasSome of the terrain became more familiar as we neared Wauchope and Bago Bluff was looming in the background. We then had a bit of a tar run which was great high speed twisty stuff bringing us home.
But there is always a twist on Nav Rides, and although I knew this one was coming, it was still a big zapper of my remaining energy as we lumbered up, over, around and through some real trailriding stuff through the Bago forest. There was even a snotty little hill climb that I thought I was going to bin it on, but all good and we ripped straight up.Finally we arrived back at Breckenridge to be gretted with a cold Cornetto Ice Cream thanx to Steve again. Yum yum once more…
Everyone stripped off the dust ridden riding gear, loaded up trailers quick smart and we had a hot shower before saying our farewells and heading back home.Best Nav Ride Ever was the unanimous call I think :woohoo:
Great work TB, Strucky and Crash on the route and pre running.
The guys that helped TB lead and also sweep each day (you know who you all are) Thankyou
High Fives to Steve from Adventure Moto for the support, assistance along the way for those that needed it, as well as his ongoing support of the rides and donated prizes.
And of course a huge thanx to Peter Payne and his team from Yamaha Australia for the assistance and backing he has provided to make sure these rides can continue. He is also a top bloke and can certainly peddle that 660 along whatever the terrain
And of course cheers to my ride buddies ACE, LEFTY and TRAILRAIDER. I was off my game a bit after binning it hard into a ditch blocked by a log on Sat mid mrning and struggled on the rest of the ride :laugh:
Cheers All, Hope the next one is half as good `cause it would still be a cracker !!!
