An Australian tour guide was showing a group of American tourists the
Pilbara

On their way to Karajini he was describing the abilities of the
Australian
Aborigine to track man or beast over land, through the air, under the
sea.

The Americans were incredulous.

Later in the day, the tour rounded a bend on the highway and discovered,
lying in the
middle of the road, an Aborigine..
He had one ear pressed to the white line whilst his left leg was held
high in the air

The tour stopped and the guide and the tourists gathered around the
prostrate Aborigine.

“Jacky,” said the tour guide,”what are you tracking and what are you
listening for?”
The aborigine replied,

“Down the road about twenny pive miles is a 1971 Baliant Ute. It’s a
red one.. The left pront tyre is bald.

The pront end

is out of whack, and him got bloody dents in every panel..

There are 9 black fellas in the back, all drinking warm sherry.

There are tree kangaroos on the roof rack and 6 dogs on the pront seat.”

The American tourists moved forward, astounded by this precise and
detailed knowledge.

“God man, how do you know all that?,” asked one.

The Aborigine replied……… I pell out off the pucken thing about
half an hour ago!”.

I have had the same battery in my DRZ since I bought it new (the bike not the battery) in March 2008 and haven’t had any problems with it other than when I was working overseas and it spent months just sitting there. The battery went flat during that time but once I charged it up again it has been fine ever since.

A woman goes to the Doctor, with bruises on her face.
The Doctor asks: “What happened?”
The woman says: “Doctor, I don’t know what to do. Every time my husband comes home drunk, he slaps me around.”
The Doctor says: “I have a real good cure for that. When your husband comes home drunk, just take a glass of water and start swishing it in your mouth. Just swish and swish but don’t swallow it until he goes to bed and is asleep.”

Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn.

The woman says: “Doctor that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband came home drunk, I swished with water. I swished and swished, and he didn’t touch me!
How does the water do that?”
The Doctor says: “The water does fuck all…it’s keeping your mouth shut that does the trick….”

It’s money well spent Snowy, the bike goes where I point it most of the time now and the back doesn’t bounce all over the place on the rough stuff. I actually like riding the DRZ more than the Berg because I haven’t had the suspension done on it (the Berg that is yet). I miss the power of the Berg but the DRZ is much easier to ride.

I think from memory Boulder told me he only had to adjust his clickers a couple of clicks when going from standard to large tank and back again.
The other thing to consider is that most of us rode our bikes with standard suspension for a while before the upgrades so the small changes from the weight are probably still better than when we ran our stock setup.

I’m in, that will probably be my first real ride back after the shoulder injury. Friday and Saturday rides for me.

He could always go for that other mighty Suzuki, the great DRZ

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

I will have to get a couple myself, I have one of Murph’s spare standard tubes in the Berg after the last Murphsberg ride.

I have a bit of experience with excel so might be able to helpdepending on what yu want to do.

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

By the sounds of it she only said not to ride that bike, sell it, buy another one and your free to ride. It’s working on a bit of a technicality but still within the rule she set down.

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

Is it Adriank?

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

You may just need the space between the last letter and the smilie

[Jeffrey SmithMember]

Looks like there has been some kind of problem on the ride, there has been some back tracking and a custom message sent out (what ever that means), hope all is well.

You can see where the soft ones nad to have their bikes under cover

I went for a bit of a test ride this afternoon with the thought of joining them tomorrow for part of the trip but as soon as I got into the rough stuff I new the shoulder wouldn’t hold up so decided just to ride out on the tar and have a couple of beers with them
and so have the recon mission to see what our intrepid explorers are up to and surprise surprise, they’re :ohmy: up to their eyeballs in beer and rum :laugh: :laugh:

Krusty’s bike was still across the road with the seat off, he had gotten a bit shall we say pissed early and had given up I think. He stayed off the beer for a while and recovered to finish the repair job. The bike had been surging badly at higher speeds and TB correctly diagnosed a build up of gunge around the mesh filter on the fuel tap. Boulder and Krusty were cleaning it up and TB has a great pic to post of some sucking and blowing going on :huh:

I didn’t eat with them but the food was said to be delicious afetr which they started setting up camp on the grass outside the pub. By all accounts it was very dusty out there today and boulders Tshirt was testament to that. There were differing accounts of the heat of the day, Krusty thougt it was really hot but others didn’t think it was that bad, it may have depended on what people were wearing.
