To all the boys who fronted up to play tour guide for us . :woohoo:
I had an absolute ball. Best ride in a long time. The tracks were almost graded compared to what i normally play on. :pinch:
DICKIE that step out was in one of the down hill sections. :blink: It felt big .. :S . You almost got the stack of the year cause i wasn’t going slow…. 👿 but there again none of us were :woohoo:

To everyone who missed out better luck next year. 😆

Cheers

Murph,
thanks for the ride .
A bloodly good day.

It was my first ride back since i torn a calf three weeks early, but what the hell.

It was just a Murph ride how hard can it be… look back at the picutres…

BIG day good fun looped it a few times … Murph told me more than once , yeah, I do that in two bites .

so did I after I picked myself up.

Amazon was better than it looked, happy to completed

as for the rest I followed murph’s rear bumper.

great day quick action. :laugh:

Absolutely shagged.

I was laying on the lounge sunday totally RS :sick: I asked the Missus to pass me the remote. No problem she said , where is it? at my feet at the end of the lounge…. :whistle:

Big day, good fun need more time bike…… 😆

cheers Gordo

Now about the ride..
Gents ,

This ride started like all others , where to go , where to start from and went to go.

Easy . Its was billed as an unknown quantity as Adam hadn’t been this way in a while. but new stuff is always fun …. right?

We gathered up who we could Ian and Sam.
Ian’s keen and ready to put his refined skills to play ( thanks to a Chris Birch 1 day course) :whistle: so a quick I’m in, and all done . Sam was an unknown as all these young blokes, these always something, drinking with the mates or someone to do. :S So a nice surprise he turned up Sunday morning… late and Adam all but dressing him..

At this stage I clearly remember saying to Ian that we haven’t been this way for a long while and we didn’t know what we were in for…. well I might have said some of it. :whistle: ( disclaimer) .
Still the team assembled off we go.

No real drama in, up to Sam dropping his chain, that where Ian was volunteered :whistle: to run the rock ramp first . He got up well 85%, stopped , slid down 75% and fell 10% with Adam as a cushion. Looked spectacular . :pinch: Ian nailed it the second time, :woohoo: tens all round. :laugh:
After we were all up out on to the main trail and we’re off!!!!! duck in and out of a few left handers and an other looking for the “enduro loop”. Just a small issue “loop” infers a return to the same point. Because that’s not what happened. :sick:
Steep country in and steep country out 6 ks 3 odd hours. and thats only part of it. Good day at the office.
A few of the bikes were looped around, more than a few us made touch downs.
My bike punched the ground a bit hard and snapped one of my bark buster off
the internal mount. My rear brake pads called it on this ride. :unsure: just added to the pleasure .
Prick hill came and when. All back to the cars and off home by 2pm.
As usual this ride one didn’t disappoint. Sam and Ian enjoyed the company as always.

Adam thanks for the memories
:laugh: :laugh:
Cheers Gordo

PS I wish some big and important person would fix my account and clear the block from my IP account so I can log in from home…

I go the same places with the motoz as the other boys 👿
the only time i had trouble was on LC’s ride in the beginning. I Suspect it was the loose shalely ground and I had to come to grips with the riding style changes. Who knew i had any riding style.. :whistle:
Adam the tour guide knows too well that the tyre works otherwise he would have to push more… :pinch:

[Gordon McMillanMember]

How does it corner?
Great! :woohoo:
It’s size appears to be a bigger bag that the 140 it replaced.
I was told by the motoz rep that the tyre was designed to run at 6psi that what i use.
I have had 1200 km plus so far.
The edge of the block now appear rounded so its a good time to check the cords and rotate.
The major difference i found was the fact i had to ease up on the back brake and have a less aggresive throttle.
The tyre will grip down seriously shitty hills and up when you allow it to bite.
that was the hardest thing.
At 6psi not loose on the road at 100kph
You know the stuff we do down here, no marks on the side walls and has good rubber rim coverage.

All in all, loving it. If it fails the cord inspection, i’m not too worried as i’m in front . But if its ok the story will continue…

Hi murph

Hi Murph,
I’m looking for a ride. :woohoo: Between tearing my calf muscle :whistle: and my normal tour guide Adam still being away, :blink: I haven’t be out for 4-5 weeks . :pinch: I’d be happy to come up and play.

Looking forward to the next big weekend run Murph . When the stars align… with your shifts.

Hi BelligenEv,

my 300 exc had the 120 standard and I found the 120 hard to get , but torpedo 7 had them.

I liked them. But I’ve gone on to the Moto Z hybird. It’s got about 850+ k’s, I run it at 6psi not going back.

Cheers Gordo
