That shits me that i’ve already posted the cap off and then come home to read this. Why are you so unkind ?
I dont feel so bad now about dropping it and leaving dents in it or letting me young bloke practice with the engraver on it either.

If its not to much trouble :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:Boony
Boonstar Jak has the muffler with your end cap, deal was I said he could have it but had to sent it to you which he said he would. Maybe PM him your address and remind him
If he gives you any trouble your on you own he is a HUGE man :laugh:TB
All good TB , the new two brothers exhaust is in the shop waiting for the cunnin kit to build up a bit and then sheez all mine,,sweet it is to.
So do you still want the cap Boony? Not a problem posting it to you.
And the only reason TB says i’m huge is he caught a glimpse of me walking out of the shower and its not me height he’s talking about :woohoo:

Don’t feel bad mate Ollie has been doing them for years and he would be happy to go as well as you did today :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: True :laugh:Keep practicing
TB
In my defence the the tyre i practiced on was on the old XR and i think the tube was the original one with not much life left in it. :laugh:
So i put in a newer tube and didnt have a problem. And for good measure i took the tyre of and put it on another two times. A lot easier now i’ve got a fair idea of what i’m doing.

Good stuff. So excited i’ve just practiced changing it again.
Arrived at the Pub in Eilden as organised but someone forgot to let me know all the Old Bulls had left and gone back to the caravan park.
Arrived at the park to find all enjoying a few quiet ales around a fire. Great setting but got bloody cold once the sun went down. Could not believe the old Choppa in shorts and t shirt until he went to bed. It was great to meet TB, Mal and Bubba who made the trip from NSW. And also Bubbas girl who fitted right in.
TB telling a story to anyone who would listen.
Even TB’s stories bored some.
A barbie was cooked although i had a bit of trouble keeping me eyes and mind on the job when a six foot Amazonian woman in tight leggings was hanging around. Unfortunately no photos of that.
Most were in bed about 11 ish but not before Menace channelled the Kato God.
Next morning we were up at 5.30 to hit the road arriving at the ride start at 6.30. Here bikes were unloaded at put through scrutineering before being put in the biovac area.
Aido announced to all he was running in the Kenda dash which is a 30 metre race in full riding gear in the hope of being the first person to grab a box containing a Nolan helmet. Several dribbles of wee were seen as he paced around trying to keep the nerves at bay. Alas when it come time to race to pulled the pin, something about being scared i heard him say.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaBFsNgwSFQBefore we knew it was time to start. The sound of 517 bike all starting was deafening and it was hard to tell whether your own bike was running. Because of the number we all didn’t start at the same time so we regrouped just up the road but this was the last time we were all to ride together. The first loop was fairly basic riding with a few slippery turns put in to keep you honest. Eventually we came to a fork where it was posted easy or hard way. No names will be mentioned as to who took the easy way but lets just say the two that did could talk about it on their way back to NSW.
This is a video of TB going over the erosion jumps lifting his legs of the pegs doing his best impersonation of a superman jump although its hard to see. And i don’t say idiot when im being roosted i say “f*#cking idiot”. I also said this a few other times throughout the ride at some out of control idiot overtook me at warp speed but in no control whatsoever. Funny thing was these punks were passed by me when it came to hill climbs. Suck on that.

Some of the riding was in areas that were burnt out in last years fires where 173 people died. This shows some of the devastation.

This one shows a snotty little climb where people stopped to watch the carnage.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWGEXOymZHMThis one shows some of the typical ambition outweighing ability.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36kwkw4GZ5IHow to pick up a DRZ when its facing the wrong way on a 30 degree rocky slippery hill.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3LKbP0gqLYHaving another go at the climb but stopping to help a poor prick on a GS. Poor prick had no traction.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXVM08hhycwThe order that you arrived back after the first loop dictated when you started the second loop with a 20 minute break.
The second loop was much harder and technical than the first but a lot of fun. By time i got back Mal and TB had already loaded the bikes and had had their meal that was supplied. All made it back safely and tales were swapped before the NSW boys and girl loaded up and headed off. The rest of us went to the presentations where XY cleaned up winning a rear Kenda tyre and a bike lock. All up about $350 worth. After that there was nothing left to do but load up the bikes and head of very tired and sore but with some great memories.Thanks to Menace for organising this and for also turning up even though he couldn’t ride. Full credit.
