Thanks Hatto,that sounds like a plan. I was gunna get it dropped at TB’s place but he is now likely to sabotage it on me………. :laugh:

I will have to sort a few things to sort out with the dealer first before I actually purchase it.

I will come back to you on it.

Don’t you just love the oBT network!!

Cheers

Yeah TB she is a tricky bit of work my missus. :laugh: That is why I have to be on the ball all the time.

All is good, she thinks it is funny that she has caught me out……………..again.

[Mick DMember]

It passed in with no bids so I will give old matey a ring and see how much he wants for it. I wont need to get you to pick it up yet though, as I have to find another sneaky way to buy it as TB rang up here yesterday and dobbed me in to the missus about buying it. 😆
As it is exactly the same engine that I already have on my boat, the missus would never had known.She now knows I am up to no good.

I didn’t say it won every year,I was saying the same basic model won over a 12 year span.

I have also spent a bit of time in the saddle this year and am finding it hard to pin point the most enjoyable ride I have done in 2009.
Some that deserve a mention would be.

New years day, with roaring hangovers Moose and I did the Plommer road run through Limeburners Nat parks swamps to Crescent head pub for lunch and return by Plommer road.
I had my first off for the year on New years day 200 meters after hitting the dirt.
It set the scene for the year to come, with a few tumbles coming my way in the last 11 months

Hill End was also a cracker,even though I had my biggest off for the year on that ride, the company and the experience was great..Tiny’s entrance to Hill End left something to be desired. :S

My 3 day birthday bash in March was a beauty too. Even though I had my 2nd biggest off for the year right in front of the hyena laughing bastard Ollie!!

One particularly muddy day in Bago when KTMRAT over took me going down hill, like a man possessed and ate shit.

Both of the family weekends at KTMBULL’s place,also ate shit at one of those weekends too. :woohoo: Best memory from those weekends, was me and Bear on our Xr’s at the top of a hill the other 11 bikes couldn’t get up, and listening to the carnage and revving and swearing down below.

Xmas party was good too, bit to freaking cold, rocky and dusty though I enjoyed the company more than the riding.the poker run and time trials were fun I will say. Ate shit there too.

Another memorable ride was the Kundabung bags of fun ride, with Fossil leading Tripper Kram140, MThickett and myself around some great unmolested trails south of Kempsey,a great ride although I got my only puncture for the year. The after ride barbie was choise. :woohoo:

The ride that really stands out this year would be the XR’s Only ride TB,Moose and myself did.
Bago, Cowarra,Jolly nose,Lake Cathie straights on the tar.to Port Macquarie for fuel. Then Plommer road to Cresent Head for lunch. Hat head beach sand dunes,into Kempsey after seeing TB pull the best wheelie I have seen for many a year. From Kempsey Via a rough road in close proximity to what appeared to be a railway line of some sort to Kundabung,thence through Cooperabung range to Rollands Plains and riderX’s house back to Wauchope. 200+
XR friendly Kilometers.

The least enjoyable ride this year,would be last weekend’s Pony Express in oppressive heat.
I thought I was gunna keel over after my 2nd lap because of the heat. :blink:

It has been a great year and i look forward to more OBT shananigans next year.

No Green it wasn’t an XR but they have won once or twice in the past from memory.

How many motorcycles can you name that won Baja 1000 races spanning a 12-year period? Not to mention nine off-road championships and dozens of other major off-road events. Only one motorcycle makes the cut: Honda’s mighty XR600R. Honda’s off-road four-strokes have been immensely successful in terms of both sales and race wins for decades, and the most successful of them all is the legendary XR600R.

In only its first year, the XR650R posted overall wins in the Baja 1000, Baja 500 and the grueling Nevada 2000.

The XR650R is an amazing machine, but no matter how many records the new XR650R breaks, the XR600R’s incredible 15-year off-road reign will never be forgotten

So all yee who mock us XR riders,stick that in your pipe and smoke it. :laugh:

Yeah It ends tonight I think and TB’s is where I want it dropped off! Will see how it goes.

Cheers Green450.
I appreciate the offer.
It will fit in the back of a station wagon easily as it is only 30hp.Probs about 40kg.
It is on Ebay,if I win it, I will let you know. I have spoken to the seller and they said they can store it for me untill I can organise some transport for it.

As I was told in no uncertain terms that I wasn’t growing a mo by my good wife,I thought I best make a donation to the oBT cause. I have now made my donation to a very worthy mo bro.Well done guys you have all provided me with some laughs.

[Mick DMember]

I wonder if the Pony Express burnt some weight off?

[Mick DMember]

Bugger,those Ricky stators have such a good name too. Fancy a dob of solder bought them to a grinding halt.
