    I am taking only a limited amount of cloths as space is tight! Only taking some t’shirts, one pair of pants and shorts, volley’s and undies & socks for eight days. I figure if I am cold i will wear my riding jacket.
    I will also bring a spare pair of riding pants.
    We should all smell the same anyway so all should be good, until we get into town! :dry: :blush:
    We must all remember to bring our cool bags for night caps!!:evil:

    My soft esky is already strapped on the bike mate!! Only to stop things freezing overnight

    Only to fend off cold nights of course 👿

    Boulder – I did not see ‘Brendons’ swag strapped to the PIG

    Hope you have sorted your jetting or lack of jets or you will have to tow a tanker behind.

    How did that recy go Mickp?

    Check the first post for updates.

    I got a phone call from him when I was at the kids football, he had a drama :huh: he now has a church radiator, it’s holly :(

    The thermo fan has rubbed thru a couple of tubes he was saying, think he mumbled bloody orange shitboxes :ohmy: ( that may not be technically correct but it’s my story :laugh: ) I am sure it was you that mumbled something along those lines TB

    Thanks for the update Lotsa I reckon I will be there

    TB

    I’m looking on the bright side
    I am just glad I found it today and not in 2 weeks time, much easier to repair here than on the side of the track.

    Hi Kram
    I’ve got the MT21’s on my 690. The rear I put on for the Corner ride and took it off after the Nabiac ride with just over 4000km on it running at 20-22psi with about 50% tar. The front I put on before the corner ride, about 1000k so all up now about 5000km. I reversed it after the nabiac ride as it was getting a bit stepped (and noisy) but still plenty of tread. I’ll fit a new front with a bit more knobs before leaving for the 3 state ride, just to try something different.
    As TB said keep the pressures up for the run down the tar and they will be fine. :)

    My prep for this ride is almost done and dusted and the Old NX is running sweeeeeeeeeet.

    I put a new set of Perelli MT 21’s front and rear for this ride and I’m wondering if anyone has used them before and what sort of KLM’s I should get out of them.

    I’m a bit worried I’ll destroy them on the trip down to Sydney before we even get into the ride.

    Fish is working on his bike this week, getting it ready for the long haul’s and fitting a big tank, Larger front sprocket, tyres etc.:)

    Guys, I wouldn’t gear it too high as they have a lot of big up hills & down hills there and we will be carrying a fair bit of gear.

    Bad luck Gav :angry: , I’ll organise another trip from Kens one day.

    C’mon Gaz get yer bike ready and pair up with Tryhard :)

    There is still accomodation available at Gunning Pub – for those that have not yet booked.

    Have a similar problem with my 690 rear wave disc being badly worn and found that the only replacement I could get was the genuine KTM (Galfor) wave disc that I did not want.
    The problem being that the 690 rear disc is 240mm diam and most KTM rears are 220mm.
    I got onto a bloke from Melbourne – said he could get me an after market EBC disc in wave or solid pattern. I got him to order a solid disc (has holes in it) which he had to order from O/S and said it would take about 6 weeks. No deposit required, he just ordered it and 5 weeks later he rang to say my disc was in, $120 with $15 courier delivery. Turned up early this week. B)
    He was very helpful and delivered what the locals could not.

    Chris,
    the problem appears to be on longer posts with alarge page or multiple pages. I logged off then back in again and found I still could not scroll to the bottom of large/multiple pages but now can scroll back up to the top of the page OK. I tried the refresh tab and found that when the page came back up I could view the whole page as per normal with no trouble ????????????

    Hi Chris,
    I am having troubles when trying to view the ride reports, specificly the Nabiac RR.

    I open the post, when I am scrolling down it appears to have the report on top of the report as if 2 layers. I cant get to the bottom of the report to get to the next page, then when I try to scroll back to the top it wont get up to the index tabs at the top of the page.
    The only way I can get out of it is to select a short cut on the latest posts section or go back to the home page and start again.
    I was having the same trouble last night and gave up, the same is happening tonight.
    I’ll try some other RR’s and see if it happens with them.
    Hope you can sort it OK

    Not sure if it’s operator error or the fact that I’m on an older browser thanks to our work standard SOE but when I go into a recent post I can’t move the screen left or right. Is anyone else having that problem?

    Yep, having the same problem. Thought it was my laptop :angry: went and checked my settings an all.
