Sorry to hear about that mate :huh: it has happened to me too. Now that’s probably an hour or 2 that you won’t get back
Glad to know that you got back home safe champ! Sorry about the mix up on Saturday too. :blush: I was looking forward to riding with you mate and I hope we might be able to do that in future.

Well I got home all good albeit a little damp :huh: (must ring Steve from Adv Moto and order a new Jacket)
Thanks to TB, PTW, Amy, Crash and Strucky for the organising and sweeping of the ride. Dejay and the other support/recovery crews. I am sorry if I have left anyone out. Thanks to Eags and Wolfie for their efforts on communications and liason from home while we are all out riding and enjoying ourselves. Thanks to Steve from Adventure Moto, Peter Payne from Yamaha and Clubby from Trailzone Magazine for their continued support of these rides and others similar. I am sorry if I have left anyone out but TB will be able to cover this.
Sorry to come across Lotsa laying on the ground after his incident , it is never good to see a fellow rider down, I have been their myself, not pleasant. Rest up and get well soon mate Well done to all involved in getting Lotsa the urgent attention that he required Great Job!
Thanks to the crew that came along our Navigation Learners group and my biggest apologies to James and Usi. It was a missed communication from the start on Saturday and I hope that I can redeem myself on future rides with you guys. I will have more discussions with TB on revising the format with the 1st timers, should I be given this opportunity again, it was great to be involved.Thanks again everyone, report to come later as I have heaps of photos.
Cheers,
LeftNice one Puddles, It will be good to see what you think when you have done a trip or 2.

Trailboss wrote:Sorry to hear your upset, I don’t know where you went (and don’t want to know) It’s a touchy subject eh and while I feel your pain I think it’s fair to look at this with an open mind or even from the bike shop owners shoes. Firstly without knowing the brand of tube it’s hard to say if you have been robbed IMO. The price of the tubes first, the tubes from Ballards for example what is it, a cheap heavy duty or an ultra heavy duty Bridgestone or Michelin like, Axel said. The price difference between the two can be more than $20. Besides Ballards for example don’t have a guy to fit it for you that convience that saves you doing it or trying to get a mate to do it. Oh yeah and if he pinches it the mate that is, you will be buying another where the shop would replace it (or you would think they would)If you buy a tyre at a store I think they should fit it free (if you have the wheel there not on the bike) If you buy a tube well, I reckon there should be a fee to fit it, I mean they have to pay a bloke to do it don’t they, if you were running a business you wouldnt have blokes doing labour for free would you?
As for your title, good lucking buying that tube overseas for the weekend and getting the overseas shop to fit it :laugh: :laugh: Oh yeah and if we did buy everything overseas and didnt support our local shops who would bail us out at the last minute thrusday or friday arvo for our weekend fix.
As for the labour cost, most mechanics are charged at around $100/hr so 15mins for the tyre (I would think using a tyre machine they would take it of, inspect the rim band and tyre as to its condition and if its a flat why it went flat) is fair enough IMO

+1 TB
After just coming back from an OS trip, for work, and seeing how other nations live, we in Aus have a very high standard of living and high wages etc and it needs to be paid for.
Where I just came from OS there is no such thing as trail bikes and or leisure type vehicles other than for the very, very wealthy so IMO we are very lucky in Aus to be able to do what we do. Where I came from OS the only thing that the normal population can afford is a Soccer ball for there entertainment…..Just my opinion.

Started a new page tonite, will add links to it as they are posted up or sent to TB before friday
I will post up the Flytrace page link friday night ,,,No Eags, I removed that page, but it is as easy as to start another
It looks like you are onto it.

Thanks
TB
You could always link everyone on flytrace.com TB…. Just a thought, it keeps everyone on the one page instead of changing between spot addresses. I found it useful when you guys did the last ADV ride.
Just a thoughtCheers,
