    Great ride guys (and girls)
    well organised (Preriding really showed results), good photos
    Random notes in no order:

    Who was on the yamaha emerging from the abyss on one of the transport sections? All I remember is someone indicating to slow down, then round the corner a blue bike coming in from the greenery… (reminded me of the big bore 2 stroke days)

    Damn decreasing radius corners on many transport sections – we’re lucky we lost only two riders – some roads would have been much faster in reverse

    DUST? is someone training for finke next year? why wasn’t a sprinkle of rain ordered for saturday? (Don’t tell me there was no control over the weather – I want solutions not problems damn it!). It made me really appreciate the finke racers and the bitumen sections really had me thinking about the isle of man tt racers…

    The old dude on the air cooled yamaha – IF i have to change fork seals so should he (Old AL???) top work on the ride fella – gave me inspiration for the next few years.

    To the girls – top effort – just remember to weight the outside footpeg through corners and nail it on the way out….

    Hamburgers should have been advertised as a feed for two

    Sixty wheels, 200+kms (against generally hard and rocky sections) and No punctures -pretty good strike rate there !

    Great to see someone looking at the ride from out side the square. Good post 383hq!! TB puts a lot of effort into a ride and it is great to see peoples well thought out responses.

    I don’t mind telling you that my foot is bloody sore.

    So after two painful injuries to my right foot in less than a year, I am in the market for a better set of boots that offer more protection than the Oneil M10’s.
    Ideas anyone?

    Sorry guys, I want to retract the above statement, I was mistaken, and the lube in question I have been using, was in fact Motorex. Sorry for any misinformation.

    What’s people’s problem with being put on a corner? Not only is it important for the smooth running of a ride, it is a good chance for a rest and if you are using the two man system it is also a great chance for a yarn. Some people should just get over themselves.

    Bugger! Must have missed that ride post. I’ll have to keep an eye out as well. Looks Like a great day

    I will keep you in mind for the next one Kram,it wasn’t really a formally organised ride, we sort of invited ourselves along on someone else’s ride and I ended up leading it.
