    Bugger me that was a big off!!!!! I did notice that he didn’t have a neck brace on. Either he took it off or was not wearing one. :ohmy: I did notice in the regulations that it is not mandatory “only recommended” to wear a neck brace. :unsure:
    He is one lucky guy!

    I was going to say you had a future Einstein on your hands but then he came out with ‘KTM’ , I suppose he’ll still need to be smart though to diagnose all the breakdowns on the trail :D

    ‘ Honda like ‘ Nick :P

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Well done little Jesse keep it up champ! All he needs to know Nick is to disconnect the kill switch for a KTM and it’s happy days. :whistle: :laugh: :laugh:

    Maybe Santa will bring him a KTM for Christmas! :ohmy: :cheer:

    On that note I wish a Merry Christmas to all OBT members and their families. Thanks for some Awesome rides and Great times in 2011 and more of the same in 2012. :woohoo:

    It went something like this, We met at Windsor and then headed off to Blinman , after about 18k’s we stopped and Lefty had to take a piss. So off we go again and then the Dr had fuel probs so we stopped to fix it and Lefty had to take a piss, TB came back to see what was going on and after slagging the Dr off, said that I should take it home give it a good wash and sell it on trading post and then buy a Tenere, he then said did I mention Tenere’s have fuel injection.
    So off we go again heading for Blinman and the DR has more fuel probs, Lefty takes another piss and then gave me a hand to get the pig going again, here comes TB who said not again boulder and by the way did I tell you that Tenere’s have fuel injection.
    So off we go again Lefty and I riding in clouds of dust stopping every now and again to fix the pig and Lefty finding a tree to water! The Dr finally cleared and we covered some ground trying to link up tracks but to no avail as there was locked gates everywhere and I think TB might have to go with plan B.
    No I wont be buying a Tenere anytime soon as you can fix a carb on the trail as Lefty and I proved and the fuel injection might be a bit harder to sort out in the bush. If we all had fuel injection bikes that never broke down then when would Lefty be able to take a piss! :blush: :)

    That’s it Boulder except Blinman is Bilpin :laugh: Blinman is in SA Bilpin the blue mountains :P Lefty had 15 pisses in 485kms that’s a piss every 32.2kms true ask him 15 :ohmy: :ohmy: Also you failed to mention you ran tyres that Noah had on his DR (cause the DRs technology is the same as when Noah was a boy :laugh: ) Never seen tyres so cracked and perished :ohmy: when we stopped people threw money in his helmet :huh: :laugh:
    Pictures later only have a few

    TB

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Yeah I dunno WTF was going on there! :huh: I need to get the plumbing sorted. :ohmy: I do have a fair idea actually, besides the chinese bladder, and a revision will be required. :blush:

    Lefty. ;)

    Yeah Eags, I did make it albeit a little dusty from home to Windsor to meet up with Boulder. In bed at 12.30am, then up at 5.15am. :ohmy:
    It was a great ride. Only the 3 of us (TB, Boulder and myself) we did around 450km according to my trip meter.
    We started from Windsor then headed up through Bilpin, then on towards Mt Wilson through some great tracks. Boulder had a little fuel starvation issue with the DR which we had sorted after a couple of attemps. On towards Clarence through to Lithgow for Breakfast. After breakfast we headed out towards Portland I think through some of the birthday ride tracks through Sunny corner on to Yetholme for a refuel. Then we headed out to find a crossing around the Cowmung River near Oberon. We eventually came out at Hampton for a cleansing Ale. We left Hampton then headed towards the Cox’s river and came out at Hartley. By this time the afternoon was getting on so we decided to slab it back home. 450km in total. Top day! Thanks to TB and Boulder for a great ride. ;)

    Cheers,
    Lefty
