    Just admit it Aaron your feeling threatened by me and boony and your desperate to find a way to go faster. Do you intend to ride your bike again I can’t even remember the last time you came on a ride. If you don’t stop digging Queensland up we will have to change your site name to wombat.

    A milk tooth High boner hey…. :laugh: I can live with being called that.

    Sounds like a nice cocktail.

    And every herd needs a goat ….Goats are great, tough little buggers that are hard to keep penned in ;) ;) . So there should be a ‘special’ mountain goat catogory for our favourite bearded climber :whistle: :laugh:

    Whoa Old girl remember Boony reads this and mountain and goat are two words that you never say together around him

    We haven’t done anything to him he’s just been trying to avoid us all realising he’s fifty. Welcome to the old farts club Ronnie

    awww come on …. really do i have to be a heifer?!??!?!???! :blush:

    Well if you were in calf you could be a springer
    Or if you were not giving milk you’d be a dry cow
    If you were randy you’d be bulling
    If you’d had your baby makers tied off you could be a spaid cow
    If you were asexual you could be a freemarten.

    Seriously I think heifer is much more appealing than any of this lot.

Those new yamahas arent much chop, they get out there but need trailoring home, :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
    Thanks to lefty for your sweeping and leading, TB ,good job on the organizing, I now apparently qualify to comment on ADV riding..

    PS ,,I got the mob lost and the only one stressed was me,, what a mob of top blokes.

    Ride report to come when someone starts the thread.

    No took the red rocket and got even happier about buying it, you can come to a rock shelf and just gun it and its up and over it with ease. After riding similar stuff down Menaces way on the old tractor there really is no comparison between bikes. We rode up to Mt Pinibar where you blokes went a few years ago and apart from being rock all the way its a pretty simple run on a trail bike. Wasnt in love with some of the boulder strewn tracks off Pinibar though made me work too hard! One of Pollys boys even managed to totally split a rim which I have never seen before.

    I made some “minor” adjustments to the old NX last night, thanks to Nick From Teknik for rebuilding my spare set of forks, as the ones that were in the old girl were leaking pretty badly. It turns out my spare set weren’t all that flash either as someone in the past had jammed two rubber door stoppers down the tubes to give the spring a bit more pre load! :blink: :huh:

    Anyhow, I got the forks in and she is ready to roll (hopefully) :whistle:

    Rego is sorted, I even managed to score consecutive plates for the team NX machines!

    It has been a very time consuming but satisfying project, considering this is how the bike looked when I purchased it off Kram for $200 a year or two ago.

    I have lost count (or don’t want to know) how much I have spent on the two NX’s to get them up to speed for this Adventure but I am sure it will work out that it has all been worth my while in the long run!

    Thanks to those that helped me get them both sorted in one way or another and a huge thanks to everyone who has put their hands in their pockets and donated some hard earned for Down Syndrome NSW.

    And a big Thanks to TB for sorting out a route that will no doubt be a beauty!

    Cheers
    Mick

    Mick have you arranged insurance??????? Sing along now

    Great video. Nice to finally meet you snowy. Is it just me or the video that makes the handlebars look off centre?

    Handle bars are fine but the rider is seriously twisted, gotta be to hang around Boony.

    So much false information.
    First carefully and sneakilly attach your transponder in the airbox of one of the heros. Then load up a big backpack full of piss and munchies and a small bushsaw. On the sighting lap pickout a narrow bushy section of the track and set up camp, including using your saw to cut a 50mm branch about 2.4m long. Then settle back and count the laps the hero does and when you judge it to be the last lap step out of the bush and belt him across the chest taking him out. Carefully stash the body , piling your empty tinnies around him to explain his accident and refit your transpomder from his air box. then proceed to the finish line covered in glory.

    PS take a wet cloth with you in case some blood splatters on your riding gear when you hit him.
