I’m keen. Week day rides rock.

Another cool 2 stroke resto. Love the polished alloy. With the demise of the Jap 2 stoke these bikes are destined to become classics.

September you say. Hmmm I have some time off in September but have a few commitments during that time. If I get a chance to bond with the Husky between now and then and the dates line up this loop looks like a cracker.

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Im keen. Just have to double check dates but weekend of 16/15 or 22/23 Sep could be a go.

can we go again ,can we can we please

sure can wolfie, one thing I’ve never done at clarence is camped the night so I might try and organise that, when it gets warmer. there will be plenty more sunday morning rides before that though, we’ll do some harder stuff next time that was an easy ride :ohmy: :ohmy:

Id be keen for a camp out up there when its a little warmer. I have all of September off work. Will be in Fiji the first two weeks but late September the weather is starting to come good.

I might even head back up there this Sunday for a bit of a reci ride to look for some new singles for a ride I have planned with some of the guys from work next month. The better half is away this weekend and I have a work drinks night on Saturday night so i’m not locking anything in as it will depend how I pull up :sick: , (If I even make it home).

I managed to secure a leave pass for this ride at the last minute. Met up with Wolfie and waited around in the cold for Chris, Krusty and Steiner to arrive. Clear sky’s and a chill in the air after a couple days of rain, perfect riding weather.
We gear up and Chris lead us out through some open single and twin track to the powerline trail. The hills on the powerline trail were slippery after the recent ran and caused carnage for some. We pulled out onto Blackfellows Hand Trail when Chris pointed to me to lead. I soon realised why Chris didn’t want to lead when I met up with some 4×4’s coming the opposite direction.

We made our ways into some single and into the back of Blackfellows cave. I was set the lead the group across the road into the Ben Bullen area until the seppo chucked a little tantrum about the pine forest singles. Back up Blackfellows and into more single. The singles along here held plenty of water but where fun and flowing.

We headed into the pine forest where Chris led us down into some swamp. I almost expected to see some buck toothed redneck buzzing along the swamp on one of those fan boats.

We found our way around some flowing pine singles before making our way back to the car, via a rocky, rutted, eroded, boghole strewn trail Krusty led us along. Sounds bad but was actually a cool little trail that I will put in the memory bank.
All up a great day out.

I got a couple of vids but have uploaded in a low quality format because I couldn’t be bothered waiting all night for HD uploads.

Ok im a 50/50 for this one. If I get my shit together I will be at zig zag before 9am.

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Surely that would be covered by warranty,

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Im due for a blood test after a work incident. Might ask the doc for a full overhaul whilst I’m there.

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Anybody got any tips for getting ya leg over?

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Do these come in BBQ pork ribs? I do like the sound of the lamb shank.

Mardi grass, isn’t that the name of your goat Boony?

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Jeffro I think this was a decision by the KTM bean counters nothing to do with its performance.

[Scott SouthwellMember]

If ya keen STM I would jump on soon as rumor has it the 70 degree engine is being discontinued to become part of dirt bike history that the likes of Moto will tell his grandchildren about.

Even second hand ones may be hard to pick up with some current owners reluctant to part with them.

It’s a shame as it was good to see at least one manufacturer who was prepared to think outside the square.

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Could try one of these.

The reason is all the sheep that are suckers for media hype. e.g. comments like “improved rideability”.
