Thanks STM, just started a utube account so I can get the footage of Eagle’s XR lap onto OBT :whistle:

:laugh:
I`m looking forward to that !!!
That little beast was a hoot to ride, despite the lack of stopping power 😆

It helped me to win the Poker Run too ,,,, I reckon if I had to do that extra lap on the 690 I would have pulled the pin early

5 Laps on the 690 and 1 Lap on the Little Red Beast

I can vouch for that Wolfie,,,
He was PUMPING THEM OUT mate :laugh: :silly:

[Dwayne OMember]

Spent an hour washing etc,,
Had a Birdsnest of grass in the bashplate :laugh:

Then fitted a RallyRaid Billet rear brake pedal I got from MickP on the weekend
He had it on his 690 before selling it a while back
Only took another hour to do all that and grease a few things while at it

[Dwayne OMember]

I gave all under guard areas and bashplate a sprsy with Silicone friday morning before I left home
Even if it doesn`t fall off, it is damn easier to clean ,,,

Absolutely buggered this evening now after the riding, shenanigans and the cleanup and pack up this arvo :laugh:
Struggled thru work all day !!

Now sitting back enjoying a cold beer waiting for the crash vids :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Cheers All

Thanks TB & Chris for a great weekend and OBT ride was great meeting you all.and Eagle how do ride five laps of that sloppy mud / grass track and not get mud on the Kato cus mine like pile of sh#t now.

That my friend is why I keep it clean after every ride and use the products I do to assist in keeping it slick
Actually most of the mud & grass fell off in the shape under the guards while I drove out to the Freeway, then I just threw it out of the trailer while having a break and a cool drink :laugh:

Spent an hour this arvo with the bikewash & hose and she`s all clean ready to go again

Maybe you should have bid on my Bike Clean kit at the auction :silly:

[Dwayne OMember]

Oh Yeah !!!!

Who bought the BUG SUCKER THINGY at the auction ???
I found it this morning when cleaning up and noone left knew who ownes it :laugh:

I can post it if required

[Dwayne OMember]

What a cracker Birthday weekend it was!!! :woohoo:
Huge thanx to CHRIS & TB for the reason to celebrate, I know this has been mentioned so many times in the past, but it is the reason we all come together year after year (and in between too) :whistle:

The Hastings boys deserve a special mention also for helping to organise the weekend with the assistance of Protty & son, true champions and I hope we get to hang with you guys again one day

It was terrific to meet some new faces, put some faces to usernames, have some beers and tonnes of laughs.

The track was just superb, it really was (and I only got to sample the short loop) but I was told by RiderX “THE WALRUS” that the short grass loop was more tricky than the long loop , go figure !!!

I managed to put in 5 laps on the 690 and the required lap on the XR in the absence of Little Red Piglet, that STM kindly took out of action :laugh:
Big thanx to PTW & Trailraider for the loaners and the opportunity to assist the cause,,,,

There were plenty of laughs heard throughout the valley as we slipped, slid, roosted, ducked & rolled around in the grassy hills, Damn some of them were steep too with the odd obstacle hidden here & there to catch you out :blink:

The arvo for me was a good time to sneak a good hot shower before the crowd (the guys went out on a loop of trails with Protty) while the mod team set the gear up and prepared for the evening festivities.

Once all were back and settling in for a few brews, the new KING was announced. What a fine King we have chosen, KING STRUCKY !!! Well deserved mate
TB was also presented with a little surprise that rendered him speechless for the first time I have ever witnessed,, this was also well deserved and I know it will be displayed with immense pride for years to come

Then some of the kindly donated items were auctioned off. We have some really generous members, and fantastic supporting sponsors that threw in a tonne of great gear. Thanx also to the members that went hard at organising a swag of stuff from far & wide and some didn`t even get to attend the weekend, namely Plindz & Lefty.
Some good remote bidding went down too , well done Jeffro, Plindz & Puddles

We had a dinner break before regathering to bid on the remaining items and as usual Bollocks did a cracker of a job (even with the heckling from the crowd and interruptions from TB) :laugh: :laugh:
Can`t wait for some of the videos to come up !!!

Then it was well & truly game on around the fire and the ring of knowledge was strong and steadily growing (until the nanna naps took hold and the numbers slowly dropped)
For some mind numbing reason, I found myself down by the upper class waterfront hideout with some of the hardcore Wachopian’s (of which there were only Toes, Kram & Gassit, well Gassit was sort of awake ) till 1.30am !!!!

This morning brought some sore & sorry heads out into the morning sunshine, scrambling for a strong coffee and somewhere to hide from the ribbing they deserved, Ollie !!! You had a shocker :sick:

A few small groups ventured back out for a play, but most packed up and slowly dispersed, said their goodbyes and made for home.
My young bloke had a great time I reckon, finally got to see what all the fuss is about and hasn`t stopped talking about it once home to Mum & sis !!!

Thanx again to everyone involved in the weekend, there are too many to name individually and I would be sorry if I left any out :blush:

Cheers All, Can`t wait for ther next one now 😆 😆 😆

Spent 1 1/2 hours washing in the dark after getting back from the birthday ride…….. yes it was that dirty!!
Worst part is once I see it in the light I know I am gonna have to go again cause of the bits I missed

Still could be worse….. especially if I didn’t dirty it in the first place

Have you started on the XR yet TR ??? :whistle:
I recon we should have cleaned it for you this morning :laugh:
