We rode around the boot hill area yesterday and there is going to be carnage on one down hill section on day 2 or 3. :ohmy:

Moto, you are welcome to here if you come down. Just me know.

Next question on heat exchange

why doesn’t the coolant flow go from combustion area to lower jacket areas?

Pros & Cons!

BC

My guess Blue is that the ‘cold’ coolant may quench the combustion area and cause theraml stress to the metals which may then prematurely fail. Having the coolant absort some heat from the lower part of the engine reduces the thermal shock and allows better temperature control.

Just my thoughts on how heat exchangers operate in my industry.

Thanks for the update 1inarow. I had heard that rumour today and squashed it and my source also rang his source and told him that was not the case.

My heart goes out to the family as they have been in this bad place for a long time. They are one of the nicest families you will meet (apart from yours 1inarow).

It’ll be Cock malt milkshakes, banana bread, rum, white rocky road and picnics for you my friend. And all the “special triple distilled, carbon filtered, custom decantered, individually bottled by a Virgin (hard to find West of Lithgow!) Specialized 4 DAY WATER” you can handle. :laugh:

On the rum and dancing like this I will be on the sunday night

There’s a pub in Lithgow with the nickname “the Star Wars Bar” where you look and dance like that. :laugh:

Thanks guys. I’m sure TB will keep you all updated. I’ll probably spend a couple of hours in the spa after each day and then off to bed.

It’s raining here again.

Medogrocket and I are heading out early in the morning for one last training run in the rocky stuff. Then it’s clean up time and new chain,sprockets, wheel bearing and tyres.

Don’t wear out the Pit Bitch too much Crash. I need him all the next week.

Maybe we can hire him out at other events. “Pit Bitches r us” :laugh:

Seriously you’re a champion TB for helping Crash and I for the next couple of weeks.

Thanks mate.

Yep looks like a big day. But I think we are well prepared. There’s nothing in the trail sections that we haven’t ridden before. Some of the hills might give us the shits if it’s wet, but everybody will be in the same boat.

I’m looking forward to it now after all the preparation I’ve done. :woohoo:

[MalMember]

Great report Bol :woohoo:

Nice pics too.

Good onya for having a crack a Pork Chop. I pussied out last year cause sooooo intimadating :ohmy:

Can’t wait for the vids.

I find it incredible that in 2010 you can go out into the bush and shoot animals whether feral or not. Some may die, some may run away injured and slowly die but surely we have evolved beyond this. If the kill is to feed your tribe and the skin is to wear then I get it but if it for recreation it is fucking sick! If there was a form of catch and release or laser simulation then fine but there is not. It is bloody and it is cruel.
The hunters out there will say that I grew up in the city and do not understand the damage feral animals cause but I feel as strongly about this as I do beacuse as a kid my dad took me hunting. I competed in rifle ranges and was a good shot and as much as I enjoyed everything me and my Dad did together I wish I could erase the memory of watching animals drop through my sights.
If it is feral it is beacuse we introduced it and it is up to us to find an effective and humane way to solve the problem we started in the first place. The animals did not ask to come here and they sure as hell do not deserve to be mortaly injured and die slowly.

Fes makes a really good point. It may be some trail debris or an unseen branch but either way I hope buddy makes it ok and recovers quickly.

STM

Some good points there STM. I used to do a bit feral eradication and now can’t stand the sight of a dieing animal. But I do have to put animals down every so often and I still shoot the odd rabbit around the house.

X-rays shows that it is a bullet. They don’t what size unless it comes out but that’s not happening.

Just found out it’s a guy I know and have ridden with. He is ok and back at Bathurst now. He was out riding with his young bloke who is in the A4DE. He was hit in a shoulder and the Doctors are leaving the projectile in there as it’s to hard to get out at this stage.

Mal are hunters allowed to hunt there with a permit like at Clarence?

TB

Yes hunters are allowed in Sunny Corner forest.

Bloody scary stuff. I’ll see what i can find out.

It does read like a bullet. Don’t know what else would penatrate the chest.
