    Good stuff mick. That’s pretty good riding an R1 in the dirt. I’d be scared just sitting on one in the shop. It was funny watching old mates open face helmet nearly rip his head off on the highway.

    That has absolutely nothing to do with bike riding….

    But if you like sailing have a look at this thing. I’d love to sit in the drivers seat or right up front.

    Do you approximate dates as I have to duck out to NZ for few days in the next couple of weeks too?

    Boony: I’m thinking of throwing it away, it’s real heavy and don’t think it will surf well…..

    Wednesday, Thursday, Friday next week mate. pm your number and give you a ring when I’m up there.

    We use UHFs with our DSMRA rides. We regularly have 15 to 20 riders and usally have around 10 radios spread out through he group. They work well for relaying messages to the lead rider but are really only good for a few kms in the bush.

    Get the 5W units as they will transmit the furthest.

    As far as channels go, use any channel with no one on it. 40 is the truckie truckie channel. I think 1 – 9 are duplex channels, which are for transmitting further via a repeater station.

    A cowboy had just got married and found a nice hotel for him and the new bride for their wedding night. He approached the front desk and said “ we’re on our honeymoon and we need a nice room with a good strong bed” The clerk winked and said “you want the Bridal?” The cowboy thought for a moment and then replied “Nope i reckon not. I’ll just hold onto her ears till she get used to it”

    The 300 with electric start will sell well. Certainly give KTM something to think about.

    Was there any mention of using foam for seating material instead of the plywood they current use.:P

    Great day out form the sweeps point of view. Everyone maintained a nice pace and there wasn’t a lot of dust until we hit the more open tracks.
    Thanks to DrD for organising the day with a BBQ lunch. Shane_VOR for coming up and cooking for us. Medogrocket for sweeping in the arvo and playing games on the tracks with me again.

    Special mention to Lipton. We helped him up the first hill which he got 90% up and hit the wall so to speak. Having a rest at the top he said to me that this is his second ride ever :ohmy: . riding a CRF450 on a grade 3 ride is a great effort. And with a few pointers here and there and lots of encouragement he inproved through out the day. Top effort Lipton thanks for coming along. The Old Bull spirit was in full swing all day.

    Here’s a couple of vids of a down hill section.

    No Mick it’s taken me to long to get it this way. Grass is very over rated in house yards.

    A shed, a bike and acres, why did you build the house??

    TB

    Council wont let you live in a shed forever. that’s what they told us anyway.

    welcome to the smoky side mate.

    TB has been teasing me for a week about your new steed, but wouldnt tell me what it was. the prick:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    it looks very pretty, how big is her tank mate?

    i was riding with a husky 510 yesterday, i couldnt believe such a big bike would have such a small tank. (8.5l but only holds 7.2l because of fuel pump) you shouldnt have that prob but i hope its bigger than 8.5l anyway.

    we need to race again now:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    pour a beer over her for me mate;)

    thanks for the welcome menace. I knew you would be happy for me. I have Donna working on a new avatar and user name.

    Tank holds 2.9 gal which converts to about 10.9 L

    we will race again mate, straight after a mixed grill for breaky at Louee :P
