G’Day Mick,
I don’t want to seem to eager.
You are going to send us some details aren’t you?:unsure:

Or should i expect the usual:

Private room,
Cocktails on arrival
Commemorative bathrobe.

:laugh:

Sorry mate the late notice and lack of info has been directly caused by Greeny opposition to the event. The organisers only really got the full on OK from council last week, so you can only imagine how busy they are now. The application was lodged last November. :angry:

I have emailed the organiser today asking for more details. Rest assured you will have a roof and all you will need is a swag in a worse case scenario. Food should be available onsite. Will confirm that soon.

Cheers and thanks for your patience.

Mick

As a scientist , I think of the situation this way Rebore450, our Rhodesian Ridgback is your typical predator, he’s been watching the bikes around the place for a while now just waiting for his moment. And there it was! Now as we all know, the predators seek out the sick and the weak, so a brand spanking new KTM would have been exactly what he was looking for, and judging by Snowies detailed description of the havoc wreaked on the poor KTM he knew what he was doing!
See Rebore450, it’s just a case of Natural Selection at work.

Golden post. Good one, Darwin !!!!:laugh:

Gday Maso, Thanks for the intro and welcome to OBT. You certainly live in a top part of the coast for bike riding!! If I didn’t love living two hours further south, I would consider moving up that way. Hopefully we’ll catch up for a ride some day. Keep an eye out for STM’s big Coffs ride in November!

Cheers
Mick

Congratulations Chris!! We watched your progress right throughout the 4 Day. Well done mate. Although you did make hard work of that shitty looking creek crossing. :laugh:

G’day! My name’s Krackers. I saw this site on Dirtbikeworld and thought I’d join.

I ride a CRF250X. It’s the standard bogan Commodore around these parts. I ride in the Otways and around other parts of Vic.

I’d like to ride around Coffs Harbour area and in fact, I reckon it’d be a great place to live. I grew up riding in the Darling Ranges of Perth.

Vicco is cold! There is some nice forests here though!

Gday Knackers. Welcome to OBT

You said the magic words…..Coffs Harbour. :woohoo:

We love riding up there, keep an eye out for STM’s big ride at Coffs In November.. An event not to be missed!!

Cheers
Mick

Unbelievable !! At least I now have a boofhead off the week for this weeks paper. :laugh:

An unnamed person we know of up here bought a brand new KTM, took it home and before the rubber nipples on the tyres could even get polished the bike is back in the shop for between 2 and 3 thousand dollars worth of repairs. Yes not a single km of speedo wear has occurred- some of the repairs underway
all the plastics and I mean all of the plastics
majority of electrical harnesses and switches
speedo cable/ speedo
hand grips
new seat
header pipe
rego label holder and label
side stand
and no doubt there is more

It wasn’t dropped, nor run over nor hit by lightning.

It was eaten by a bloody great dog that dragged it around the yard eating various bits and bending the rest! And the dog is still alive!

You are bloody Joking right?? I wanna see some photos of this!! I would have drowned the bastard!!

Boony, How long has it not been going?? If it has been sitting for a long while it will most likely need a carbyectemy. If you can earth out the plug and it sparks I would look at the carby first. Idle jet may be gummed up. If it has old stale fuel in the carby when you kick it a few times you will smell a smell that is a bit like the smell of turps in the air. I have noticed that smell when I have fiddled with old bikes that have been sitting around for a while. If so a quick clean of the carby and away they go.
