Hi Alan

Planning on pubbing it at this stage. Wanna keep the weight off the bike to make any potential technical riding easier on my knee.

A bed in your room at Jindabyne would be great.

Only just got the bike and havn’t really had a chance to even lay a finger on it since putting it in the garage.

Its stock ATM with a B&B bash plate.

So far i have ordered a 20l Acerbis and a rack/luggage system, rad guards and case covers.

Tank and luggage is as shown on this bike.

Would be great to ride with you. Be a relaxed pace though whilst building confidence in knee. Probably be my first proper ride on it.

Hi all

First post around here but i am hoping that all going to plan i should be on this ride.

Been out of action since I busted my ACL and had knee surgery a while back.

Been working like crazy on my physio/cycling to build my strength back up and have just been to see the surgeon and he has given me the go ahead to ride, from the 6 month since surgery mark which lines up almost to the day with this ride

Sold all my bikes just prior to the surgery but have just picked up a new to me 2012 KTM 500exc which I am in the process of setting up as a lightweight ADV bike.

Looking forward to seeing the high country again. Been down there lots on road bikes but only once on a dirt bike which happens to be the ride that Alan posted up the link for earlier in the thread.

Look forward to seeing you all there
