ladies and gentlemen,

i have just got off the phone to Brian, the bloke from bush experiences. he sounds like a character and a good bloke too.
he really knows his sh!t about the high country and is very accomodating.

he tells me the place is free for the last 2 weekends in august. actually all of august for that matter.
we would need at least 8 takers to secure his lodge with a 50% deposit paid by the end of june.
(deposit only required for first 8, then evryone else pays once they arrive. i will be asking all partakers for a $20 deposit to keep people committed though).
also once we get over 8 the price drops to $150 each for the stay…for all of us…BONUS!!
anyone wanting to stay extra nights before or after (XY), will be at $75 a night and will be no problem. too easy!

the fors-
+) a comfortable number of bodies would be around the 20 mark but up to 40 people can stay (as he has done this before), it gets a bit cramped but its do-able, so everyone interested will be a goer.

+) typical food is…breakky-bbq bacon eggs beans tomato toast cereals juice etc.
lunch…bbq etc if at lodge, salad rolls chockky bar drink etc if on the trails.
dinner…steak snags steamed veggies mash etc or spagetti bol or the likes.
…in a nutshell, noone goes hungry:woohoo:
+) if we do a big ride saturday, he will take fuel lunch drinks etc for us and meet us on the trails.
+) brian will provide maps, guidance if we need it, or anything else we may need.

the againsts…
-) a lot of trails will be closed for winter from mid june till early november…this includes the mt.stirling craigs hut etc. loop that TB is talking about:( , however brian says there are plenty of other loops between 60km to 180km that will will still be able to do. there are heaps of variations. they are still wicked rides but wont cover the famous huts etc.

-) thats about the only downer that i can think of…

now, i ask yous all, especially TB, would we all still like to go in august, with the track closures and all….(it is still guaranteed good riding) or would yous like to put it off till november to do the mt.stirling, howqua, kings valley, craigs hut loop.?????

we have a couple of weeks to ponder this as i will need to get us “pencilled in” if we’re gonna go in august…

(im still keen for august, and if its good, we could organise to do the mt.stirling etc. ride next year in early june or november)

whats the consensus dudes:laugh:

my 300 came with a metzeler “6 day extreme” tyre. it was down to about 5-6mm of tread, so with its first service i got them to slap on a michy M12.

i will pick it up from the dealer on monday. (service, re-jet, new tyre, dyno for $290.40)……then its goin straight to Krooztune to get my rear shocker set, for my generous size;)
(another $680…..f**ken)

then ill see how fast it will shred the M12. 👿

ummmm, so yeah,

1 tyre x 385kms(including run-in) = rooted….

no power in that equasion, hey boono:P

i bet ya a bottle of green ginger boony(ya drunk) that my KTM…
A) puts out more BHP…
would out-go/handle/brake/roost
……your 2 wheeled, doily covered, retro styled, yellow velour lounge suite.:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[dennis da menaceMember]

well boys and girls,
it looks like this ride is gaining momentum by the minute. its a bit overwhelming, as i was worried noone would be interested……not the first time ive been wrong.
definately wont be the last either:laugh:

ive never organised something like this and would love to hear any input from any of you in regards to anything to do with the ride!!

ok, so we are going sometime in august! thats settled:)
is there any weekend that people who are interested in coming CANT make it.

the weekends in august are..(including the friday)
july31-1-2nd aug.
7-8-9th
14-15-16th
21-22-23rd

so if your keen, let me know when you CANT make it and we’ll see if we can pick the time to suit everyone.

i told my boss about the weekend and that ill be taking a couple of days off. he said to me..”no worries, only if i can come too”!!! he rides a wr450. so there is another starter!!

XY is doin a great job of spruiking, i owe him a beer or ten!!:laugh:
