We had a great pre ride today. Worked out a few tracks and finished most of the dual sport run. There is a few curly bits in the dual sport track but they will get through ok.

Coastal guys might want to bring a riding jacket as TB did nothing but whinge about how cold he was and it’s not even winter yet….

It looks like it might rain here soon too. :woohoo:

[MalMember]

Yep should be good TB.

Tomorrow will be the third day on the bike in the last four and then riding Friday before the Sofala ride too. :woohoo: :woohoo:

[MalMember]

Nice work sb. Why the piston change? Is it just to be sure or did something happen to make you want to change it.

That bearing sure looks shagged. Lucky you found that before the Finke. :ohmy:

Keep the updates coming mate. Is badbowie changing a piston too?

That is a nice setup Dan for sure, those Andy Strapz bags are great mate but aren’t water proof

The KLR is very cheap and will do the job they have a loyal following that they deserve. I looked but decided I wanted something with a little more zing no offence to anyone please. Something I could wheel with a bit more pace when on my own, a little more suspension travel etc I know with NX at time I feel I wiould like something a little more capable if youknow what I mean. Although may not be has comfortable as the KLR, V Strom and BMW.

That said I would buy a KTM 640 Adventure if they still made them, maybe a low mileage 2007 would sway me :huh:
