Hey guys, first ride on my new TE449 and I meet up with a cool crew like you guys, thx for the great ride to Wauchope through some awesome trails, there is no dout the local community is so lucky to have such a bloody good place to play. This tells me the bike is a sign of some great time to be had.
The new bike was great and yeh a kick starter missing could be an issue but well on the old TE510 it wasn’t a joy to kick start it, or even clutch it, I found a set of small jumpers handy if you battery is cactus. I guess as long as you still have compression, fuel, a spark plug wrench to undrown the bike if the unthinkable happens, and the battery is good (dont leave the bike in the shed too long without riding it) , she should start first go.
Besides the tire problem, really tire pressure, the bike felt great, ‘had an interesting ride back to comboyne as I didn’t have Mick , or any sun for direction but eventually found the Rock and cruised on to my farm at Comboyne.
Followed on the next few days and found the trails dryer and a bit faster, soooo good is Bago and the hill climbs like no others
Thanks for introducing me to this forum and look forward to catching up again
Hey am check out the shot of the cape trip, the best ride/trip, love to go again soon especially with the new masterbuilt TE449
regards Lockie
