Coming from Sydney take the Morisset exit and turn left onto Mandalong rd, take the first right, Deaves rd, travel to the end of the rd and turn left onto Freeman’s drive, travel along and take the first left called Martinsville rd

Zero trip meter at the intersection

Travel 4.5kms road on left, (phone box on the right) sign says Watagan Forest road, travel till 11.6kms Y intersection veer right travel along until 15.1 klms road to the left, camping area on the right, road on left Wollombi Forest road, go straight ahead 15.5kms turn on right sign say Casurina and Turperine camping areas, turn right and follow the signs.

If you’re coming from the nth, come down the freeway to the Morisset and turn right onto Mandalong rd and take the above directions from there.

TB

EDIT If you aren’t able to read this map,right click on it and save it to your desk top and open it from there,it will open at full size.

The Red Phone box is now gone! just a yellow steel frame work where it was located

Seeing as I have missed 2 rides oooop North now and I didn’t make the Pony Express it got me thinking about getting up there for a ride with Ktmrat and young Mick.

As opposed to just saying “yeah, we’ll sort it out” like I normally do, how about trying to put a date or two out there and see what takers we get? The date needs to be okay with Mick & Dave (Ktmrat). Other than that I don’t care when it is.

Who’s in and what dates suit people?

after the 5th of Jan is good for me,would also like to do a fossil organised ride if possible from Maria to the beach, I would be able to accomadate people at my old place on cresent head rd no problemsB)

Nice report Ollie You’ll have to show me these trails. I’ll be riding next weekend if I can get my towbar sorted. Alternatively, we could go explore in the local forestry if you fancy a change? Champo knows some tracks there, I have NFI!

cheers mate,although I dont recommend going solo, I actually had a ball and found a heap of tracks that I may never of come across if I was in a group situation. Probably cant do next w/e I have to go and pick up my old IT250 soon:unsure:

CHRIST,
What happened to good old respect, not to mention defence forces commeraderie !!!!!!!
Sounds like every man 4 himself, BASTARDS :angry:

if this happened on a ship and the perpetrator were caught, well lets say it wouldnt be pretty;) The defence forces have changed bigtime, we are that critically short of decent recruits they take just about anyone to fill the numbers. The system now babies the new guys they get treated with kid gloves they expect everything and give nothing.Camaraderie in the lower ranks is virtually non existant,when I was a young bloke we lived on the ships,we always stepped ashore with the lads and run amuck and had a great time. ah thems were the days
These pathetic gutless actions committed to gili’s property pisses me right off.

Ollie the goddam hairy arsed dirtbiker

14 psi front and back works for me although I am also now running that anti flat crap from auto1 $13 per tyre

I didn’t know MSC were based at Mangrove Mountain. I had a play with the bike they have at Newcastle KTM (customers bike they are selling) that had the Roc Stompa installed and it seemed to work very well. I have also ridden a KTM 525 with a Roc Stompa and thought it did a very good job. That said, that is my whole experience with steering dampers.

The guys at DBW seem to like the Scotts/Ohlins units. I might have gone for one of them from the states if the $ hadn’t taken a nose dive.

I think, all things considered, I’ll take a punt on the Roc Stompa. The quality looked very good and my mate has had no issues. We will have to see. As an engineer myself I see your point about it being made by a company producing ‘bling’ though.

Do not be put off with RocStompa and some of the bling they produce,I have personally been to their business,it is only a small operation run by Daniel who is a dirtbike junky, quality gear made in that workshop with some pretty flash machines.He will bend over backwards to ensure customer satisfactionB)I will vouch for his products

Moto, the roc stompa are a good product I have one on my 99 ktm 300 and it works a treat, also a good aussie product made in Sydney. another damper that I have a real high regard for is the WER ballards stock them, they bolt on above your front fender and you should be able to get one for under $700
I imported GPR ‘s for KTM’s they are a good unit but the aussie dollar went to shite.

and dont forget the MSC

hope this helps Ollie
