Great ride report and congrats to everyone involved. Sorry to hear about Razzle and I wish you all the very best for a speedy recovery.
I really missed not be able to come to this one and I was very keen to say gday to the old crew and to meet all the new members. I was looking after my little boys all weekend as my wife and her sister took their Mum to Byron to celebrate her 70th. Can’t wait for the birthday ride for a big reunion.

Price is an issue though. I really don’t want to spend 7k on a bike, 5.5 k would be better at the moment.
yeah the WR would be a good start if I could get it cheap enough. Replacement a parts cost is a concearn too.

My experience with the WR250f was very positive. My maintenance was all preventive and as simple as oil and filters. My bik did around 15000 km on the original top end!
Nickj was running a DRZ at the time and my bbike required nothing more than his. Parts are not a problem.

Thanks heaps for the information.

If i could claim a bike as a work expense i would already have a new one.

I have been looking for a new bike just can’t decide what to buy

Computer now that i can. So though might as well get a good one and then it will last a few more years.

Any thoughts on programs i should get with it?

I have never had a mac before so have not got any

They come pretty well loaded up. The only thing I would recommend at point of sale is ‘Office’. They have a Mac version and if you heckle the sales person I am sure you can get a deal. Other than that, just wait until you find something missing and go to the app store and download it. Very simple and integrates without all the third party bullshit that you end up with on a windows system.

I can’t get out of work for tomorrow arvo Nato sorry, I took a half day for last week and can’t swing another for this week unfortunately.

Hopefully they organise another full day Sunday Rec Day in the next week or two. STM; any strings you can pull there? :whistle: :cheer:

Wow STM! You’re good!! Talk about “ask and ye shall receive”. Full day Recreational Day next Sunday at Coffs MX :woohoo: :woohoo:

From the website;

Please note: The first planned Motocross Round on the 17th March has been cancelled due to not enough officials available for the day. We will be running a rec day instead including the dirt track.

I might see you there for that one mate!

You will not be disappointed with a WR 250f oldgirl.
Apparently they were a chicks bike when I owned one so that box is ticked :laugh:
Maintenance is f@#k all compared to my CRF and you can get parts for WR’s in towns that don’t sell water.
Second hand they are cheap, and if you find the right one you will never look back. If it does not work out you wil sell it what you bought it for. Last week I bumped into the guy that bought mine and he sold it for $500 more than he bought it for 👿 It is now with it’s fourth owner and has an original top end. Serious!!!

Ditto on what STM said…

recently acquired the latest 27 inch model.. Wanted Power so maxed out less memory. After market additional 16 cheaper option.

3.4GHz Quad-core i7 16GB RAM 1TB Fusion Drive NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB GDDR5
Apple Magic Mouse + Magic Trackpad Apple Wireless Keyboard

In heaven compared to the 2007 model I used… Going to add another another 16GB RAM.. Slowly working the Magic Trackpad in.. useful for delicate manoeuvring while editing video or pics. Not liking the wireless keyboard. making it work because no wires wins. Love the 27 inch real-estate no need for 2 monitors now.. Map editing for GPS and google earth is very nice full screen as well…

Very nice specs Krusty!!

We may all argue which bike is best but as far as desktops go there is only one. iMac!! I prefer Android smart phones so I am impartial but iMac rule my desk space.

I am looking at one for the up and coming Birdsville / Simpson / Flinders / Hattah trip for my ipad mini so I can update the ride report at the night stops

TB

iPad mini??
You already have the original iPad, iPad2, iPad3 and the one they haven’t invented yet!
And an iMac.
Be honest, you are a convert. Before you answer do you own an iPod :laugh:

What is the app called to make these?

No way am I telling you that

No Brainer mate!! iMac
You can buy top of the line for half your budget and get everything you need. Spend $300 on a printer and you are future proof. I have pasted the link for the new iMac here for you. These new ones are super slim and don’t have an internal dvd drive/ burner. I reckon you would be best getting the previous model. Similar price, but built in burner. That is the model I have that one and it is a brilliant machine. Plus it is much easier to view realestae.com on so it must be a tax write off :laugh:

If you need a hand finding your way around the Mac give me a call.
