    Here are a couple of photos from Strucky’s camera.

    Thanks for posting Mick, great sequence! Would be better with a better camera obviously!

    Yeah ECKS, it was obviously taken on a phone camera.

    I like the last pic best with that roost of charcoal.

    I doubled RC out of the bush on the XR, then helped load his bike on the ute. I did my bit I think. ;)

    I got them from Kye. (It is his dad that has Natrad in Port Macquarie) I had seen them some time back and thought they would be a good talking point on here.
    I dont think, Kye has to worry to much about frames etc. He has a KTM sponsorship of sorts now. NIce young bloke too.

    Hi Charlie, Welcome to OBT, Thanks for the intro, As JAK said things were a bit quiet over the weekend as a lot of us were on a big ride at Coffs.
    Cheers

    In the past, I have thought, I don’t put on to bad ride weekend. I hereby give notice that I more than likely wont bother doing it again.
    After this weekend the bar has been risen so far, I would have no hope in emulating what STM and Nick have pulled off this weekend!!
    The organising that went into this ride is a credit to STM and Nick, the location, the meals and not to mention the trails, will take some beating, so I have decided to not even try. ( OK I might try but wont succeed)
    I had a great time and would like to thank STM,Nick and all the Old Bulls that turned up for what would have to be one of the best weekends I have ever had on a dirt bike!!
    Some of the highlights for me in no particular order were:
    THE TRAILS!!!!
    The camaraderie
    THE TRAILS
    The location
    THE TRAILS
    The mass of bikes and blokes at the briefing
    THE TRAILS
    Krusty’s 35th crash for the day.
    THE TRAILS
    Getting up the slippery bank on the XR then getting back down alive.
    OK, I BETTER MENTION THE TRAILS they were pretty good.
    Pulling a cracker wheelie around a corner
    The boys attempt at the widow maker. A laugh a minute.
    Bollocks doing the waltz with his WR (you had to be there) The most amazing bit of riding I have ever seen on a trail ride.!!
    The after ride snacks and beers at the beach.
    The run up the beach
    Factory Phil’s wheelie on the beach
    Bollock’s auction
    Factory Phil’s live Valentino Rossi ride report. (my guts were hurting from laughing)
    Moose and I pissed as nits,lost in the Caravan park after the party
    The monumental hangover I had this morning!!
    I managed to crack a few photo’s off before my battery went flat.

    One downer for the weekend was when RCHonda got taken out by a roo and we had to get him out of the bush as his radiator was stuffed and so was his arm

    DSCN2153.jpg

    Bollocks was a big help

    DSCN2155.jpg

    WE managed to get RC out of the bush and it was good to hear that his arm wasn’t broken

    Who cares,if this bike blows up again I will burn it to the ground.A spare crank is the last of it’s worries.

    Thanks Jarrod,
    Not often we get accolades. People have no idea what goes into running this site. TB goes above and beyond to make it the excellent resource it is. His “how to” videos are just an example. Let alone all the free advice and labour he gives out to members.

    THanks for taking the time to say thanks, a lot of people are quick to complain and a thanks every now and then goes a long way.

    Cheers
    Mick (for and on behalf of the moderation team)
