I did notice the OBT stickers Guys,,,,
A set of OBT Guard Stickers would really set them off now:) Sure TB could organise some sets for you guys to purchase, what about some Stubbie Holders too while you are at it ??? And I don`t see any fork savers strapped in on those front wheels (We have them too)

The more we sell the more OBT can grow:)
Cheers & Enjoy tomorrow

Eagle..Your crackin me up!! Fair dinkum…I’ve been waitin , waitin , waitin..each day I check the site, it keeps telling me that one day, the OB store will kick into liffe… Yeah..like an ole Triumph…it just may….But like a leakless Triumph..I aint holdin my breath anymore. Honestl..I have spent my free $’s trying to buy a house….so my spare cash is no longer spare…Which sorta sucks ’cause i had a rather nifty ” to get” list building for the bike..Too bad it turned into HOUSE DEPOSIT..

G’Day fellas
Looks like its all happening. Can we confirm the meet place and what time on Sunday. Cafe at Amamoor was mentioned. Look like a good ride, and great opportunity to meet you all. Maybe have lunch at the Kandanga pub which isnt too far away.

Gotowo

I believe you have the longest trip don’t you gotowo? So what would be a suitable meet time for you?. I am guessing 2 hr drive from my place but happy for early start. I better have shaken this flu by then:angry: its really giving me the shites. Pub lunch sounds good here.

mate..seeing as how I’m the floater here..I’ll go with the flow. How early does everyone want to be? how long a day do we wish to ride? So long as I get home before Monday 6am..It’s all good for me..

[Nick AgainMember]

Mate..I looked at the terrain and near on started to dribbe. That looks the goods..If they’re semi decent tracks the riding will be good.If they’re hard n tight..Guess it’s Gooder?!!

[Nick AgainMember]

” Sirdrop alot”..Any Idea of how many K’s it is?? Around the park..:huh:

[Nick AgainMember]

You want to leave trailer here O/N. or at your place? We can slip them in the shed if you want. DOGS will keep them warm.

My bike came with Metz. Mc karroo’s on board. I had ALL kinds of pushing drama at the front. This thing would Washout on a toothpick rut. Just before it was time to replace the rear, i was playing with suspension a bit, not much, just a tiny bit of click here and back off spring there etc. And found the front tyre actually had more to offer than i thought.I replaced the rear with a Dun.952. I got some “serious” hook up from it, again I had to re-adjust susp. again to stop the karroo front washing. Replaced the Karroo front with Dun.952. Awesome grip compared to the stock. New rear is Now a MOTOZ Tractionator. It’s Softer than i thought it would be. Tracks up something ridiculous, in hard rocky, crumbly ground. Is a slip n slide machine on hardpack/ fine sandy stuff. And on holidays in slippery muddy stuff. This tyre has some serious side of tyre grip and gets out of a corner well. Good tyre but not going back for another. I’m considering a Mich. desert safari next..maybe, for the distances i do on bitumen. I guess its a trade off to reach the compromise of the “Best for what I do”.
menace, I used to use trials tyres on an old XL500 s. They lasted ok. for the amount of Road/dirt I was riding at the time. 65/35. I haven’t been able to find one Wide enough for the 610 rear…have been giving it some thought though. Ones I have seen have been dear too.

Have you tried a Mitas E-09, I had one on my 625, for adventure rides.
quite alot of the adventure guys like them, plenty of info on the net about them especially on http://www.advrider.com/forums/

I got mine from here

Yeah Thanks Mudrat. I’ve been thinking of their 50 – 50 tyre. It’s a 130/80/18. looks like it will fill the role I want a tyre to do. Although I’ll have to go a touch slower in the loose stuff.
http://www.motorcycletyres.net.au/shop/product.php?productid=16218&cat=256&page=1 This one in Particular. Have you/do you know much about it? Thnxs I.A.
