    So who ended up going?
    I went up for the Sunday ride nice and early on the mighty DRZ. Rode 10 kays into the Left side loop (Southern?), dodged a rider that came off in front of me, highsided, hit the dust hard and broke my thumb. Stop laughing. It’s still blue.
    Worst bit i had to ride back to camp, cut my good Sidchrome workmate glove off, sit around till 4.30 only to watch some lucky B%&$#$D win MY kato.
    Will I go again next year?

    Shit yeah! ;)

    Maccas for brekkie? Rug up this morning as it’s now 2.9C but feels like -1. Following your spots with envy. Lucky buggers! Happy riding.

    Just picked up a Mr Swagman biker swag. $330 delivered so I’m hoping it’s the ducks nuts. Using it this we at central west dirt bike rally.
    I’ll post a review when I get back

    Sorry about the late reply. Better late than never.
    Swag is great. Used it a few times now so feel pretty qualified to it’s in and outs. It seems to me to be really a full size swag with a smaller mattress in it. It is waterproof and seals up very well if the weather turns nasty. Like all canvas swags however it’s as noisy as a tin roof when it’s rained on.
    I have pulled out the mattress that comes with it as it’s pretty thin as well and replaced it with an anaconda self inflator.

    It is however quite heavy when ready to go. This includes black wolf blow up pillow, Anaconda mat, sleeping bag and cotton liner. All up about 7kgs give or take.

    I also have a mantis 1 tent which i might start using again as it’s a fair bit lighter.

    In the shops as we speak. morris moto in orange have three on the floor.

    I like the look and feel of them. Nice wide seat, bit like the XR’s.

    Best thing it’s $5990 plus on roads!

    in reply to: best Glue for Grips? #228665

    I use petrol. Just a teaspoon in and swill it around and tip it out then slide it on. Never had a problem.

    I’ve got a Garmin 60 CSX and it’s a cracker. There is plenty of really good free maps that can fit on it too or you can buy the more expensive ones if needed.

    I’ll check my dates for September.

    in reply to: Riding Pants – Moto or Adventure Type? #225781

    I’ve got a pair of “Ixon” overboots. Good deep pockets and good protection too. Really comfy and warm with the zip in liner attached.

    Hot days can be a bugger you can really sweat in them.
