    Sorry Guys I’m out :(

    My bike was surging a lot on the nabiac ride and when I pulled the carby out to check it, it has a slight tear in the diaphram. I’ve ordered the part but it won’t be here for two weeks.

    It was lucky I checked it because the trottle cable was only hanging together by one strand of wire.

    I’m now getting Big Birta ready for the High Country Ride. :)

    Have a great ride and I’ll look forward to hearing about all about the fun I’m missing out on.

    Perhaps you could continue with some of the other elements to good suspension.

    As I have already said WHAT A TOP WEEKEND :woohoo: :woohoo:

    I left home at about 6.50 for a quick 50 klm blast down the Pacific Highway to meet the rest of the Wauchope crew at 8.00am and that was the most tar I’d ride for the rest of the day. As soon as we left Wauchope Mick hooked up some great twin, singles and firetrails as he lead us all to Comboyne Lookout. A Lot of these trail you’d happily ride on your dirt weapon of choice on, but on Big Birta it was a whole new experience. Great trails Mick ;)

    The rest of the morning saw the crew settle into a nice rhythm covering some good Klms on some fun trails but then Mick decided to consulted Google Bloody Earth :ohmy: In truth this loop was fantastic. I didn’t think the NX6fiddy could go some of the places it did. In no time at all this beautiful leaf littered twin trail turned into the downhill from 👿 for me. Big Berta and me had our first parting of the ways as I tried keep her head going in the right direction :laugh: :laugh: With no breeze and the temperature in the high 40’s I was absolutely buggered by the time I joined the group at the bottom but happy to hear I wasn’t the only one to have an off :laugh: :laugh:

    With the heat really getting to us we headed into the unknown. There was no way we’d get back up the hill we came down and we didn’t know what was to come. We’d gone down so far we knew their had to be a hill climb to come :blink: The heat in the valley was really starting to get to us by this stage so when Puddles, Aero, Strucky and Me came across a beautiful little stream on the valley floor we were straight in. How good was that water :ohmy: I think that creek saved my life 😆

    The Hill climb out was a cracker, long and twisty with a couple of tougher sections. I think strucky was over the trail by this stage coz he shot up the hill like a man on a mission ;) At the top we all had one of those Thank-F$#k-that’s-over moments, laughing and swapping yarns about were we had trouble :woohoo: :woohoo: It put the A in adventure riding :woohoo: :wooho

    I don’t remember much of the rest of the weekend due to my overindulgence of intoxicating substances, but I do remember the Museum. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I didn’t expect to see so much bike history in the one place. There was heaps to see. Anyone who’s into bikes could happily spend quite a few hours meandering around. I have never seen so many and varied bike in the same place. And I can only remember half of them :blush:

    Thanks to all that came along it was a laugh a minute. Ya gotta love the way OBT brings us all together.

    Can’t wait for the High Country. It sounds like my kinda ride :woohoo:

    Well done Chris.

    I quite like the new look of the site and the work you do is very appreciated;)

    My only beef is the latest post window. Like others have said it is a little difficult to decifer. Don’t know if it’s the new colour or font??

    Perhaps an extra space between each topic might help.

    Just noticed that the face thingys no longer work for me too. Not sure if that’s my PC or the program
