    So much has happened already and it’s only day 1. I’ll be exhausted by the end of the ride. :laugh:

    I also didn’t know that watching 3 Spots throughout the day would be so involved (in a good way that is), there is a good chance that my work productivity over this ride may suffer a little. :whistle:

    For anybody that has just joined us, here is a quick recap of the rides adventures so far.

    Team one – Crash, TB and PTW

    Three (possibly smelly) guys hit the road in a dubious truck and headed west. Two of them were very drunk before getting through the Hunter.

    A strip tease (of sorts) was performed for all at a service station by a bare-chested Crash, complete with a face full of what appears to be Pizza. (Sorry ladies, I think he’s taken!).

    PTW was the first of the flock to hit trouble with a flat tire. Word on the street is that this was a staged event so he could have a road side break and build the drama for the views at home.

    TB’s Spot tracker had a small hiccup and took a while to catch up (much like his normal mental state). No real drama’s there.

    The planned fuel stop had no fuel, so the three guys (almost definitely smelly by this stage :sick: ) pushed on and as a consequence TB ran outta fuel. Or was it that he was a little heavy handed on the throttle?? Will we ever know the truth?? B)

    Team Two – Ace and Strucky

    Great progress made early, until an AWAL mobile phone caused a longish stopover in Tamworth. But thankfully they got outta there before the locals made their move. Actually I’m surprise the King didn’t come to their rescue, he mustn’t have known they were there. :ohmy:

    Ace has been asked to put his bike over truck weigh bridges several times which probably slowed progress. :P :huh:

    A final push has seen them get to Narrabri, hopefully safe n sound for a well deserved beer. :woohoo:

    In the next episode…..
    Will TB continue to run out of fuel and make excuses for it?
    Can PTW’s comedic styling’s keep him from being eaten?
    Can Crash keep his shirt on?
    Will Ace’s lift raft inflate when needed?
    Is Strucky back in the world of technology?
    Will the two teams meet up at the required time?
    Can I keep the bullshit up for the whole ride? 😆 :blink:

    Stay tuned for more adventures tomorrow…….or make comment on it all tonight……the choice is yours.
    None of the information expressed here has any truth to it or bares the endorsement of the riders. In fact most of it is made-up and fact less for your enjoyment.

    And very enjoyable it is FF ;) :D

    Nice work mate!
    Do want to sell a pair of those and do you think you could get away with 15mm?

    STM

    +1 on the quality their Thrillseeker B)

    I’d be keen to buy a pair too if your going into production :)

    It would be great for us tall blokes to get a quality mount to balance between bar raisers and peg lower(ers) !!

    How did it feel compared to the small bore for ya?

    The suspension was the best I’ve ever felt. The power delivery was too aggressive off the bottom in the very tight singles to ride fast ( with my lack of skills :D ) !!

    Rob400 , Spud , eurotrash , Andy and myself ended up riding our local and it was bloody awesome , I expected trees down and huge ruts after the recent storm. What a result that the trails were groomed and we had a ball :woohoo:
