I damaged it way back in 1970 but have been working as a bike mechanic and diesel mechanic all my working life. Have been told that working on cement floord all that time has caused it. I had it cleaned out twice but I won’t go through that again when the other one plays up.
Hello Dennis, Tell them about the next part of the trip where you couldn’t get any sleep and what you did as you rode through their camp. God works in misterious ways, I believe you hold the world record for fixing a flat tyre.
If the wife and I go for a ride we use the Goldwing and that is mainly long trips as we go to Mount Isa on a regular basis. Trail riding I mainly use the DR650 and we go up in the range area between Townsville and Ingham as well as out west around Hughenden area. With the quads we take them to Abergowrie where the family cane farm is.
I found you in TBAM and it looked like a good web site, doesn’t seem to be any rubbish which is good. Not very good with the computer as yet but will improve with time. Like the forum and the comments. Keep up the good work as I will be seeing my riding companions over the weekend an will introduce them to this web site.
I live just north of Townsville in North Qld. and a few uf us have just got serious with trail riding again. I also restore tractors when the mood strikes and run the Rural Fire Brigade in our area as well as work full time so we really enjoy our bike riding. If I was asked what I enjoy the most, the answer is definitely trail riding. We see ourselves as adventure riders now days.
