    Nickj I obviously have no idea about the comments you commented on (I crack myself up) because I have not been visiting the site. I think you make a valid point though, nothing like politics and money to spoil a good thing. In my humble opinion I believe the FB groups have been successful because they cost nothing to set up or run.

    Awesome isn’t it. Those CRF450 Rallies are horn. I stain my pants a little each time I see one. Fingers crossed he holds it together and pulls off a great result.

    One day Paddy, an Irishman, goes into a chemist shop – reaches into his pocket and
    takes out a small Irish whiskey bottle and a teaspoon.

    He pours some whiskey onto the teaspoon and offers it to the chemist.
    “Could you taste this for me, please?”

    The chemist takes the teaspoon, puts it in his mouth, swills the liquid
    around and swallows it.

    “Does that taste sweet to you?” says Paddy.
    “No, not at all,” says the chemist.

    “Oh that’s a relief,” says Paddy.
    “The doctor told me to come here and get my urine tested for sugar.”

    I wouldn’t buy a Sherco but I would by a Sherpa because I don’t like to carry heavy things up steep hills.

    A good mechanic because I buy everything online. I worked in bike shops for years, it is a shit industry, much better just riding for pleasure.

    Sounds good. I have used your services in a previous life when I used to manage Precision Honda in Darwin, so I know your work is quality. How much to get the forks done as well???

    They say the first sign of madness is talking to yourself. Well I guess replying to your own posts is equal to that. Looks like I am MAD :woohoo: :silly:

    Well sometimes you have just got to bite the bullet. After much trawling of the net I decided the Montana looked like a good thing and have purchased one from Johnny Appleseed. The price was so good I grabbed a Spot 2 as well. Fingers crossed it all arrives safe and sound and mid next week I am learning how to use my new toys. Now just to get the valving sorted on the DR. Spoke with Race-Tech yesterday and they offered some good solutions. Like the sound of adding a new shock shaft that gives rebound adjustment. Just need to let the wife get over the GPS purchase first.

    Home, showered, had a nanny nap and now waiting for the roast lamb my missus is cooking. I feel for you unfortunate buggers who are driving back to Sydney and other places far away.

    As usual, another fabulous ride. Well done to all those that helped make it happen. Thanks to the mysterious angel that loaned me a GPS for the weekend (I still have your mount, will PM you regarding return).

    Also thanks to my riding buddies Kram, Moose, Toes and Mick. It is always a pleasure to be amongst such fine company with dignified morals and gentlemanly virtues. Rough run for Puddles who did well to ride out, hope to hear you are on the mend soon.

    TB you were about 5km from my back gate today. I gotta get me one of those GPS gizmos thingys, reckon I could have me some fun with one.

    What is the best container for carrying extra fuel; Coke, Sprite or Fanta?

    Outrank Debreceny, he wears a suit now, I don’t think I can compete with that. Yes have a GPS, some really top bloke said he will loan me a Garmin CSX 60.
