G’day. A few blokes at the Long Flat Rally were complaining about the loose gravel just east of Gingers. Pretty much the same spot old mate had his accident. It would have been cleaned up by now. The bottom of the mountain has been pretty how ya goin for a while now with big patches of substandard repair. Most of the damage happened early last year after all the rain.
As for a Cells ride. I am a regular rider up there and have lead many rides so I dont mind leading sometime. Prefferably winter after rain.

No gravel there yesterday. You’ve won me on a Cells run in winter though, I only know some of the main trails ie Blue Mountain Creek and Grassy ridge trails.I bet it gets a bit cool up there in winter!!

Hopefully I pick up my IT250H resto project this week sometime.So we will be able to compare notes.

Anyone know someone with a RM125C ?? I found a set of piston rings for one I have been hoarding for the last 25 years.

I’m confused Mick, you want the rest of the Bike to go with the rings? …. Cool I’ve got the rear linkage and some bearings off an 1986 RZ500 sdo that’s where I’ll start my resto from…….

BTW I admire you blokes for doing these projects, don’t know where you get the time and energy, but go for it.

I would be interested to hear from someone that has a RM125C they’d like to part with too.

I would have been there last time, only I was in Cairns if you remember rightly.

[Mick DMember]

EOI expressed (subject to wife imposed terms and conditions. :S ) I’d say Moose would be in that one as well.

Sounds like you had fun Mick. Nothing like a snappy 190kms to scrub the tyres in. I must get up there and do that road. The road guys here rave about a bit.

Now you have the bike for it Mal,you could run up through Glouchester, Wingham up onto the Bulga plateau and into Gingers Creek,thence down the Hill to Wauchope.You could easily do it two up too.

[Mick DMember]

good luck with it Ollie, as you’d imagine I will look on with interest. :laugh:

[Mick DMember]

Disappointing news indeed. It was a fun ride while it lasted mate. Good luck with it all Moto and thanks for the laughs and good times.

Your friend and colleague in moderation.

Samantha Fox was in Australia recently and sorry to sink your boat mate but………………….

She bats for the other team now :ohmy: .

Continued.

Sometime after 1992 an aspiring Australian enduro/MX racer from Orange or was it Upper Mangrove Mountain, dumped his beloved XR280 and purchased a 250 XC in a desperate bid to get the upper hand over his opposition.

This was to be a sad time for KTM as the Australian motorcycling fraternity couldn’t take the brand seriously, as this aspiring rider that KTM had pinned its hopes on, had such a fat head that he couldn’t get a helmet to fit and looked rediculous with it firmly wedged on top of his head.

As you can see from the photo,if any one beat him or mentioned his fat head he would shape up and want to fight them, especially if you were on some other exotic heap of shyte.

This combined with the rider’s continued slagging off about how the front end “ploughed” in corners and his perpetual bagging of the machine as a whole was to set back KTM’s sales in Australia for quite sometime.

It wasn’t untill KTM fooled the masses with a mystical suspension called PDS that appealed to those who liked the occasional hit up the arse and had a attraction to bright shiny things, that KTM started to claw it’s way back into the hearts of Australian motorcycle fraternity.
