Happy birthday Dusty. I hope your recovery goes well and that you are soon back out there on the bike.

Happy birthday MOTO. Don’t be shy to make the trip up in November this year. Mike has his name down and I haven’t even posted it yet. :laugh:

Cheers

Lads, I have a quick update on Mick who broke this femur.
He was taken to Orange hospital and had a rod put into his broken femur which had a “nice” clean break. He also smashed up his knee cap which was also operated on. His parents and GF are with him.
Big props go to the ride group who attended to him on site, kept him comfy and spirits up whilst help was on the way. Mick’s family pass on their thanks.

Mick also signed up for health insurance on Friday;)

Other than Mick’s drama a great weekend was had.

Cheers Galey…grade 3/4 ride leader

P.S. Adv Moto will be getting a order from me this week for a spot tracker for my camelback. http://www.adventuremoto.com.au/

I just spoke to Steve and my Spot Tracker is in the mail. That really was a lesson to all of us who go out for solo rides. Breaking your leg is one thing but spending the next week dying in the bush on your own is avoidable.

The one flat we had with a HD tube was not a pinch flat but a torn valve and was the fault of the shop that fitted it.

A very worthy winner you were mate. I have seen the voting results and no one even came close to you in the nomination stakes. You are held in high regard by all members of the site, except by the few of us who witnessed you coming undone at the fire on Saturday night. The vomit was uncalled for, in my book. :sick: 😆

Congratulations.

Cheers
Mick

I agree it was uncalled for but coronations can get messy :laugh:
I would say that next weekend we do I will show more constraint but you boys know me better than that

That was a massive weekend!
It started with Nickj picking me up from work in Coffs and by 2.30pm we were on the road. We had a good run down to Sydney chatting and laughing the whole way. We arrived at TB’s just before 9pm and cracked open some beers. Some of OBT’s finest were all sitting round and the banter was on. It was a good chance to catch up with the old crew, meet some new and have a laugh with the redneck brothers. Hell Yeah! :cheer:
TB looked keen to empty the eskies there and then but we showed reasonable constant and by 11.30 we were bedding down. Somehow TB fitted us all in the house and before long Kram was at full song :pinch: I slept even with the Ewok cutting wood and before long the 5am alarm rang through the house.
A quick assembly at Maccas and we were on our way to Capertee. The closer we got the colder it got and not far from town the frost got thicker. As ee got ready in the car park it was clear the morning ride would be cold so I added another layer. It was roulette whether your bike would start in these temps and I had to resort to kicking it over. Several others were seen push starting so the temperature was already having an effect.
On the run out to Capertee I ran sweep with Lefty, TB and Nickj. I had ridden plenty with the others but it was my first good look at Lefty. He can ride a dirt bike!
We took turns spliting in two and sweeping the hard and easy options. At the beginning of one split Pete the Wulf had a rear flat. He had a HD tube but the valve had failed. We did a change The pit boys would be proud of and we were on our way.
I really enjoyed the ride out and considering the size of the group we moved well. After a flat front from Fish we rolled into camp and set up. The support boys had done a great job and the Moose mobile certainly made life easier. Good onya Moose. :cheer:
I waited to see where Kram was laying out his swag and then I set up on the opposite side of the clearing. :laugh:

To be continued.

Old Berocca canisters make an excellent storage space for nuts, bolts, spare plugs etc.
They store easily in a bum bag or tool roll and are waterproof.

Thanks for that STM,
Yeah you don’t want to get to the end and think ‘I wish I did have some babies’, so away we go!
You don’t happen to have anything to do with the Coffs Harbour Detour in mid July do you?
Have a couple of mates who are probably headin down for that but my # 3 bub is due late July and I wouldn’t miss that for the world.
I will keep in touch with this site and eventually sort out some details for your mates up this way to go adventuring with.
Cheers
Trev

Hi Trev
I have nothing to do with Detour but I hear they run an excellent service. I am a not for profit organisation set up to keep Old Bulls happy. :cheer:
Good luck with the little one.

Welcome aboard Trev.

Good to see I am not alone having babies at 40 :silly: I live on the Coffs Coast and in November I host a ride. Keep your eye out for the details as you are more than welcome to join us. We have some Old Bulls based in Noosa who you can catch up with in the meantime.
Enjoy the site.

would love to be there rocket,, but the daughters bday is on that weekend,,, The snow plow would love the work out….

Lame excuse. The ride was on my son’s birthday last year. Then again, I did pay dearly for going. :S

Forgiveness is way easier to get than permission. Just do it!

Mmmmmm Boony predicts snow for that weekend along with the occasional shower of rain…..

I predict High jelousy with the chance of crying like a baby in tamworth

Some of your best Corey! :laugh:

Boony predicted shit weather for the Coffs ride and it was perfect. Doubt this will be any different.
