Our trip started on Thursday in sunny Victoria where shorts, thongs and tshirt were worn. I picked Rohan43 up on the way and off we headed.

Made it as far as Wagga before deciding to call it a night. Next day it was off again nice and early. We stopped off at Bathurst to do a couple of laps of the race track.
Arriving at a place called Sunny Corner, I looked at the locals and thought “how soft are these peeps, standing around a fire, rugged right up” Well it took me about 2 minutes to realise me shorts and thongs weren’t going to cut it up here.

Sorry about the pics but me camera kept fogging up. Took plenty of others but there all foggy. Worse than these.

A bloke called PEP tried the level 5 walk in the carpark. This is him just after picking himself up off the ground

After setting up our camp the others who happened to be camping in the same area as us got pissed off. Something about there ride being cancelled. Poor pricks. Anyway Saturday morning I headed off for a ride, meeting up with some other blokes and women. I asked if I could join them as I didn’t know the area.

The hill that did a lot of damage.

3 and a half hours later I was back at camp freezing me bollocks off. Unfortunately that was the only riding I did for the weekend as the rain came down.

The excavations trying to keep the tents dry.

Sunday morning we packed up and off we went saying our good byes to our new found friends. A total of over 2200 k’s travelled but well worth it.
Highlights-
Putting faces to names
The crowning of the king
Auction
Seeing MC Chronic in action
Riding some awesome tracks
Bathurst race track
The infectious laugh of Alyssa

More video of MC Chronic and riding to come

Sunny Corner Island
Friday June 1st
1712 A.D.
Diary entry;

It was a wild, cold and wet night when my schooner beached on the shores of the unforgivable Island which is known by many a traveler as Sunny Corner.
I noted that there was a large gathering of tribes from distant lands communicating in their local tongue. The natives seemed to be restless and I wondered why this was so. Cautiously, I approached a warrior elder dressed in his battle dress of red and white polka dots to seek some explanation to why these nomadic people were looking for war .With the translation assistance of another elder, who went by the strange name of “Chris”, I discovered that there was to be a large gathering of the tribes for the annual hunt of the elusive beasts, “adrenaline” and “euphoria”. These animals are much prized by the tribal people and they travel far distances to join in on the hunt. It seemed that the Forrest Gods were angry and would not allow the tribal people to hunt as a group. The tribal people were forlorn and were seen shaking their fists at the Gods and casting what seemed to be spells in a language that I do not understand. Over a period of time the people seemed to resign to the fact that they would have to hunt on their own. Their spears were unloaded, sharpened and placed in waiting beside their bush camps, ready for the next day’s hunt.
I moved towards the fire to interact with some of these savages. The mood of the people changed gradually as the local drink made them forget about the angry Gods. It seems some of these tribal people had travelled many days. I was wary of a particular savage looking group of natives from a land called “Victoria’, especially their leader who spoke in forked tongue about his God “Kato”. Soon the mood was one of celebration as a native group, known as the ‘Tamworthians” began to dance and make offerings to their God who look very much like a goat. The elders began to tell stories of other elders and tribesmen and tribeswomen who had done great feats, this pleased the people and their stories will be told for many years to come.
Celebrations were well and truly underway by now and it was decided that goods were to be traded. An amazing array of goods and hunting equipment were available. The tribal people were very generous in their buying of these strange looking items .I look back now and smile as obviously too much drink was taking its toll with the tribal people, as they made me a “King” and placed a rather large crown on my head made from objects that I have never seen before. I was also placed on an elaborate throne made from the bones of slain enemies. I was asked by the elders to address the people and I expressed my thanks with some embarrassment but with heartfelt gratitude. After consuming what was described to me as” The Blood of Lord Kato” I began to feel light headed and the night became an orgy of song and dance. A previous King of another tribe preformed a rhythmic song to the tune of a wooden type of instrument, much to the delight of the tribal people. I have been told he was a good and kind King
The tribe known as the “Tamworthians” were odd people but they were good people. They let me sleep on the floor of their bush hut for the night. It was quite an experience as the thatched hut smelt distinctly of flatulence and goat urine. Eventually I drifted off to sleep with the sound of native drums banging in my head……

To be continued…..

That`s what I said Mick :laugh: Get your own advice

Yeah Jak, It can be shattered, but damn you need to be careful !!!!
What size easy out is it ??? I`m guessing 6mm or less :whistle:

Don`t want to do any more damage in the attempt of getting it out :pinch:

I’ll tell him not to hit to hard and if in doubt, stop.

Far out what a bummer!! Scary stuff! TB showed me that you can shatter a snapped off easy out, with a centre punch if you are careful. Once shattered, they come out and you can have another go. That was with a 6mm bolt. In an alloy case be real careful.

Thanks Mick, as Eags mentioned also I’ll let him know to give this a try. He’s shitting himself.

:S
Damn, That doesn`t sound too good Jak,,,
Easyouts are hardened like spiral taps and a bastard to try & drill out I think
Normally you can shater a broken tap with a hammer & punch, but risky at best in an engine case like that :pinch:

So I am really no help at all , sorry

Yea hardened steel. He has tried to drill it bit has basically made a mark and thats all.

[JohnMember]

Bit late getting back to this one. Done all the above and still had problems. Cleaned carby, replaced the needle and throttle valve and the bike hasnt looked back. For a 25 year old bike it runs like a gem.
