    Hahhah I saw that this morning and thought of Pete straight away!! :laugh:

    Pete would have pulled off the perfect “panic rev” and saved it I would suggest!

    Geez that’s no good Pezz. Let’s hope that Luke has a speedy recovery. It really lived up to the Scare Chair name. :ohmy:

    Elle!! :laugh:

    GOLD. That sums her up nicely TB.

    I didn’t suggest you didn’t fix the postie…… I was amazed with what you achieved with what you had to work with! :)

    Day 3

    Gotta give it to TB, if he cant fix it, it is stuffed. Here he is doing his best to fix Pete’s back wheel after it broke 11 spokes from continued abuse.

    There was plenty of postie bikes on the ride. Check out the pimpin’ pipe on this one!

    The three Amigos’, palatial lodging.

    Day 4

    Yep, pretty sure that’s frost there TB. :laugh:

    DSC02907.jpg

    Stopped to take in the views.

    Just to prove that the NX made it.

    Milking fuel from Kram’s Pasha Bulka for the NX

    DSC02913.jpg

    The Big Tenere ran out of fuel on the freeway in Canberra, so TB had to milk the other Tanker that Pete was riding.

    DSC02914.jpg

    TB always has 2 GPS units, just in case one fails. After that you break out the trusty old poor mans GPS. A Map.

    At 10pm we rolled into what appears to be somewhere in Bangkok. I was pretty glad to see the Penrith Pizza shop!

    What a mission! Arrived home at 6pm last night after 2450 kms on the mighty NX650!! Would have loved, just to sit down and reflect on the ride with a beer but it was a mad rush to make our 6.30 reservation at a restaurant in Port Macquarie. So not much of a report yet as I haven’t up loaded my pics to photo bucket yet.

    I am still knackered! The rear shock decided to drop all its oil in the first 400 kms of the trip, so the next 2000 kms were like riding a pogo stick fully loaded at speed, as there was no rebound or compression dampening what so ever. This alone made for a very “entertaining” trip. Well it was entertaining for anyone that saw me trying to ride it I am sure! Not to mention the miss the engine developed at 4200rpm for the last 800 kms,that I did nothing about, as Toes made the big claim that he would fling me an extra $50 if I didn’t put a spanner to the NX for the whole trip. Time to pay up TOES!

    AS for you Eags, suggesting that it was the NX that had stopped! I hope that at some stage over Easter you bit your tounge !

    A big thanks to TB plotting the route and leading, a big thanks to Salina for putting us up and thanks to Kram and Pete for some very entertaining moments!

    More report to come as time allows!

    Gday Hoss, thanks for the intro. I am at Wauchope so I am pretty familiar with the Cells, great riding there. Welcome to OBT!
    Cheers
