I imagine you wouldn’t be a very good back seat passenger.
Me and Crash will have to do the rock paper scissor thing from your house. Then one of us can be on the cans all the way up. :woohoo:
Happy birthday Mr TRAILHACK.
We will have to line up a dual sport ride with TB soon.

Yep TB, Penriths economy is sorted for a few months. :laugh:
I have to give Suttos (and especially Mal) a huge wrap here.
Last week I spent about 2 hours with TB in the shop replacing most of my riding gear and buying bits for the bike. Mal was very patient with me trying on everthing and has a lot of knowledge of the products he sells. Even Chris got involved with suggestions on gear.At the end of shopping Mal worked out a great price which was a pleasent surprise.
:woohoo:
Thanks Suttos for suportting the site and giving Old Bulls great deals.Welcome to the site F&F. Most of the blokes I’ve met on here are close to fat or forty. Some of them are both :woohoo: .
You’ll have a ball here mate.
Old WR400 hey. Had one myself back in the day.
Great report TB. As usual your accuracy for details is impeccable. :laugh:
Here is how I remember that rainy night in the shed.
TB and Salina arrived just as Donna was leaving for work. We all had a quick chat and Donna left. We tucked the NX in the shed for the night and hung up the wet weather gear to dry. Grabbed a few drinks from the fridge and over to the house for cheese and biscuits.
A quick intro to the animals and accommodation sorted, we got into the pre dinner snacks. Then I had to perform some domestic chores in the shed and TB and Salina come over for moral support.TB decides to start installing the dampner while I do the chores and Salina decides to go and read her book. TB’s photos shows how far he got with that job. :(As TB said I did make the comment of getting the suspension sorted before doing this A4DE thingy and as he also said he was “on fire”. I went to the fridge for refreshments and all of a sudden a hail storm hits the shed. FROM THE INSIDE!!!! :ohmy: TB has hold of this cheap little Y bar of mine and is spinning bolts of so fast that it sounded like a hail storm when they hit the ground. Before I knew it he handed me two front forks and then went to work on the rear. Seriously though, thanks TB for your help mate.
Ride time.
The morning looked promising and we left a bit later than expected after coffees and dicking about, and loading up the taxi so the Beemer could just sit on the road and look good.Straight to the servo for a splash and then off to start the dirt. I really like this bluetooth headset as Donna and I can just chat away and it’s really easy to point stuff out to look at.
When we get to the dirt TB stops for a photo shoot and to give a pillion briefing. Well that’s what it looks like.
One pillion had a question and this was TBs response. :laugh:
We swapped bluetooths here, as TB said, so I could chat to TB and get some track info on the rougher stuff. I don’t normally need this info on this track but with a new bike and having never had a pillion on the dirt I was a little nervous. TB is great to have in your ear and it helped me a lot through whole day.
We only swapped while on the dirt section and we could hear the girls chatting away happily.We went to the lost city for a bit of a look. It was a nice place but I told TB I think there is a better one somewhere else. Just have to find it again. The lizard I found on the track was a baby Eastern Water Dragon.
The run over to Clarence was good, with TB taking us on some power line tracks which were a little technical for us dual sport novices but not too hard to be scary. Getting the bike over the railway line was probably the most challenging part of the day for me. To say I was nervous was an understatement. But with TB and Donna’s words of encouragement and TB ready to play catch, I walked the bike over a lot easier than expected.
We met up with Mal and Natalie at the turnoff to Mt Wilson and we all headed for the best track of the day. It was very greasy on the mossy tar road going down into the valley and once on the dirt I was a little more confident. The bike was handling very well and Donna was loving the ride. TB and I were linked up again on the Bluetooth and TB was calling the track for me which made for a smooth ride.
We stopped at the bridge for a look and I nearly fell over the wood was that slippery. A few pics were taken and we were off on the climb out of the valley.
We stopped on what was to be the roughest section of the track and TB said watch where I go and then pick your own way. I didn’t get up enough speed to maintain balance and we had a moment that nearly had the beemer on the deck. I asked Donna if she would mind walking the section so I could ride with a bit more aggression. The bike and I did it easy and Donna jumped back on. We watched Mal crawl up in the 4WD.
We stopped at a few waterfalls on the way out and took some pics.
TB and Salina
We have the same feeling as TB about the Apple bar and will leave it at that.
We headed straight home from Bilpin and hit heavy rain about half way. Donna wasn’t fazed and we kept chatting away about how good the days was and how awesome the track from Mt Wilson to Bilpin was.
All up a great day with great company. The bike is awesome and is now due for its first service. Thanks heaps to TB for sorting a great track and thanks Mal and Natalie for coming along in the 4WD.Looking forward to the next one.
Day 3 pic and video. Didn’t get much as there was only three of us so the pace was up a bit.
