I have my lodgings booked , Matt in Ensay tells me there is only bunk room beds left and they are numbered in availability , so make your booking soon if you don’t want to camp :whistle: .

I have a double room booked in Jindabyne , there should be a vacant bed ( if T B’s info is correct ) for a splitting of the bill type fee , $105 , with breakfast , so $52.50 for the bed + breakfast should anyone who does not snore like a bastard want it . If you snore like a bastard , go sleep some where else 👿 .

And , the contact name in the initial post for Omeo should be Tray ( as in Tracy) , not Tait :whistle: . So told to me by Tracy on the phone just now , there is no Tait there :blink: .

In like Flynn , book me in Batman !

The planets finally align , I only have to ditch one days work for this one , and that is for the trip down to Jindy , got the Friday to the following Wednesday off , Big Al is excited .

What is the story on Cars parked at Jindabyne for the weekend , security or pot luck with the vandals ? Luckily I have a plan B with this issue .

:unsure: I was ready to mow the back lawn when she opened fire with the electricity and rain this arvo , looks like it will be waiting for me for when I get home tomorrow arvo after the test run for the new rear spring on the WR 450 rr . Life is tough when you have to put the chores off to test out some new components :laugh: .

February has 28 days , which actual days are you considering Shane ?

I’ll be at Frying pan CK on the Sat of the 2nd weekend , pissed by 4 pm I’d reckon , provided the rains don’t make it a wash out , Frying Pan in Summer can be a total water fest if huey sends her in to batter the BMW crowd with copious amounts of rain .

Looking at my roster I only have one other weekend off work in Feb , so my chances are slim :angry:
Fuggin work gets in the way of havin fun toooooo often .

Hey Al,

First weekend of Feb mate, just to miss the BMW crowd, im sure they are a top bunch of blokes they just take up a lot of room, probably the high concentration of beer related girth :laugh:

Hope you can make it

That clashes with the Adv ride up at Wauchope then , I can’t do that because of work , so I miss both

Thanks Guys , been to the rissole for lunch , going to the beach this arvo for a swim , simple pleasures .

[Alan RootsMember]

I have had a shorai in my 950 for the past 2 years , been fantastic , been submerged in the Macquarie river , survived a dud regulator on an outback trip and still going strong and about one third the weight of the original Yuasa . I’ll not be shopping for any other brand at replacement time .

One word Al

“Sickie”

TB

That would make it a $ 1500 + weekend , $400 not earned Saturday $ 600 not earned Sunday and $500 spent on accommodation , tyres , fuel and other associated costs for a good fun weekend . WAAYYY too steep for my budget at the moment , The Last one I took long service leave for so it was not too much of a financial hit , still cost me in excess of a grand all up though . I am on a tight budget , the minister for war and finance makes sure I keep to it :angry: ……… most of the time . Plus , I have a four day weekend the following weekend , which will see me go riding somewhere , just got to work out where and with whom .

Umm Al, are you actually working with a route or a track? Routes when planning will have a pop up box. The box that will pop up when working with tracks can be clicked on and closed. Once I get a track done and set the way points for the dumbest GPS I will see that weekend I convert to a route again keeping it to 199 as thats all a 220 can handle

I live in basecamp and only work in tracks as that is what my Garmins record in. I load tracks on Montanas and basically everything now at the navigation rides except Zumo 220’s and Zumo 550’s

Mate I promise I will come up and sit with you and sort both. If you come to the Feb navigation ride and get there half and hour early I will give you some time and show you

If any of that has helped ask away

TB

Been working with ” Plan new Route ” button . Will try the “Plan new Track” button and see if it is different , cheers for that TB .

Gotta sort the unit changing the settings on start up though .

TK ride and the TK after ride with the Boulder Bros and Craig Hartley and Mark 1957 and co , was a 2 week Adv odyssey of epic proportions

[Alan RootsMember]

I use Andy Strapz panniers on my 950 , Steel Ponies are also an alternative , with frames , try to buy ones that have the panniers as far forward as you can , helps with handling in the loose stuff .
I use Dalby Moto frames and rack combo .

[Alan RootsMember]

Any further updates on Merlin’s condition ??

Hoping he is progressing well and looking at a full and complete recovery .

Ummmm , some people promised some film footage that is yet to be posted , I am feeling quite impatient to see it . :whistle:
