Have had the AndyStrapz gear for a while, firstly with a tankbag on the strom and now a bumbag for the DR – all have been excellent quality and never failed no matter how hard I try to make it fail

Seriously I would recommend it without a problem and their service is superb

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, “Everyone who thinks they’re stupid, stand up!”

After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, “Do you think you’re stupid, Little Johnny?”

“No, miss, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!”

Have been in ADVRider for a few years and yep, if you want to read some bloody good stories, with sensational pics etc – that is the place.

I have spent hours trolling through some of those reports.

If it is just the Aus reports you want there is a like ineth Regional – Australia section to posted ride reports as well

I picked up a 12 months old second hand VHoldr (not the ContourHD) a few weeks back and so far so good. I did need to get new cards and a new battery but the quality of the video is very good from my perspective.

The Camera mounted on the helmet.

Some of the videos are at the links below (they are on Youtube as well but YT always stuff quality)

The VHoldr is not cheap by any means though and I believet he HD is around $500+

Interesting given that KTM were the spomsors of the recent Road Race Formula XTreme round at Wakefield Park and rumours associating them with a new Road Race team and series in 2010.

Apologies for the video quality as the cards in teh camera seem a bit iffy so have needed heaps of editing, thus the stop/start.

Recently a man had to go to the hospital to have his wedding ring cut off from his penis after his girlfriend found the ring in his pants pocket and got so mad at him she stuck it on him while he was asleep.

Which is worse?
a) having your girlfriend find out you’re married, or
b) explaining to your wife how your wedding ring got on your penis, or
c) finding out your penis fits through your wedding ring

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles.

The sales girl notices him and asks if she can help him.

He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.

She directs him down the correct aisle.

A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.

She says, confused, “Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?”

He answers, “You see, it’s like this. Yesterday I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; because it’s soooooooooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own, so does she!”

Dear Mr Bill Gates,
We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.
1. There is a button ‘Start’ but there is no ‘Stop’ button. We request you to check this.
2. One doubt is whether any ‘Re-scooter’ is available in system? I find only ‘Re-cycle,’ but I own a scooter at my home.
3. There is ‘Find’ button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ‘find’ button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.
4. My child learnt ‘Microsoft Word’ now he wants to learn ‘Microsoft sentence’, so when you will provide that?
5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows ‘My Computer’: when you will provide the remaining items?
6. It is surprising that windows says ‘MY PICTURES’ but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.
7. There is ‘MICROSOFT OFFICE’ what about ‘MICROSOFT HOME’ since I use the PC at home only.
8. You provided ‘My Recent Documents.’ When you will provide ‘My Past Documents’?
9. You provide ‘My Network Places.’ For God sake please do not provide ‘My Secret Places.’ I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.
Regards
Udu Rawana
P.S.
Last one to Mr. Bill Gates: Sir, how is it that your name is GATES but you are selling WINDOWS?

Thanks Eagle,

Yeah it has been a while and not to sure why apart from laziness and cold, although the need to find owrk has probably played a part as well, then the bloody bike started to play up so one thing, then another and before I knew it months had passed.

But this was a damn nice little area that I don’t get to enough and thet rack out was heaps fun with some large erosion mounds and after a wrong turn we emerged into the middle of a road construction zone in a closed area (closed as in publicly accessible under escort). The looks on their faces were priceless as we walked the bikes down a 5 foot near vertical bank to get to teh road (the works has cut the track off).

But now will be getting out there again hopefully as the weather warms up, the bike works and I have a new helmet cam to play with

Kylie do you know the correct way to pick up your bike? Might make a difference? I can pick up my mates BMW 1150GS Adventure with a full camping load on it if I lift it right. You need to squat down with your back against the bike, with one hand on the lower hand grip and one hand around the tail (even better if it has a grab handle which I think the WRR does??) and just stand up with your knees and then lean back so your butt goes against the seat where it meets the tank and then just take a step backward and it will be up! I amnot trying to be a smart ass if you already know this, but thought it may help if you dont!

And to show what Rhino means – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4MPyX0QCYw

Got the reply.

The way we went was from Nelligen head towards Braidwood for around 5 k’s, LHT Old Bolero mountain rd and follow the main track, keep going and stay RHS of radio tower and follow for a while till T intersection which should be Misty Mountain rd turn left and follow till creek and cross(can be deep, rocky), continue 300mtrs LHT onto No Name fire trail and follow for around 10 k’s keeping to the left, I think there is a LHT but if you stick to the main track you should be ok. Follow another 3 to 5 k’s and turn right and follow for arouind 3ks till RHT Gollorborie road and follow for about 20k’s till Knowles rd, turn right and follow about 5k’s till T intersection which is Araluen rd, turn right and follow about 40k’s.

Below is the link to the ride report which has some pics and vids of a few sections. The tracks themselves were those before we left Dave’s house after lunch.
