I want to do it on the Tenere as I have on the XR but it’s a bloody big bike that Tenere and am nervous somewhat
Have you seen it in the flesh?
The list above is meant in no disrespect to any of the names mentioned bar Ollie and his excuses :laugh:

DY4…Great photos alright..:woohoo: :woohoo: The front wheel just came up, some how Mick.
Sunday came around pretty quick. Mick told us we had to be up at the track by 7-30.
When we arrived at the track we were told that the juniors would be doing the seniors track:ohmy: and so on but with a few changes to both tracks.After we swept the tracks and the site laps were finished, Jan (clerk of course) sent Mick, Lefty and myself over to a tricky section on the junior track, just in case there was any
trouble.Things were going good until Mick got a call on his radio. Mick said they needed a hand on the senior track so could you head over there. I headed over to the pits and had to give a bloke a double over three ridge lines back to his bike. When we got there I noticed his whole tyre was off the rim with his moose tube hanging out. I thought “Wholly sh*t!” I helped him put that back on with 4 tyre levers and he was back on the trail and still managed to end up on the podium that afternoon.
After lunch I stayed at the seniors track and helped Gasit and Sam sweep. The track was so rutted by now and hard going but fun at the same time.It was so good to watch
the likes of Hollis and Kerney in real life.They are so fast its not funny.At days end i swept the seniors track with Kram for one last time.We were cruising around good until i got to the creek crossing with the slippery clay up hill.I made it half way up until things turn pear shaped:S I dropped the big girl and slid back down the hill.Kram had a great view of this as he had no such drama and cruised up no probs.I turned around and hit it again without drama and we headed for the pit area.
It was unreal being involved in in such great weekend sweep riding for the NSW off road series.thank again Mick and all the other OBT.I had a ball.:woohoo:
DY4..
I would like to thank Mick and everyone involved for a top weekend.
Met Mick, Moose & Kram for the first time at Mick’s place. After our ‘meet & greet’ we headed off for Mt Seaview and arrived to sprinkling rain and overcast skies. I thought “Hope this rain clears”.
We weren’t there long Mick came over and said “Gear up Spud, we’re heading out”. I didn’t know what to expect but got kitted up and ready to go.
So off we went and swept the senior loop. It had everything single track, bog holes, slippery uphills. It was definitely a quality sprint series track. It was bloody hard.
We came back in just on dark and I prepared myself for Saturday because Mick said I was sweeping the clubman and senior loop that we just rode.
Woke up Saturday morning to blue skies and we all went out and made some changes to the track before start time. We got that done, swept the loops and then waited for our further instructions from Mick and Protty. My instructions were to mix with the clubman on the senior loop for the 3hr enduro. IT WAS UNREAL!!!! You could help out if someone was down and basically just keep the track flowing. I had a blast sweep riding on that loop. I managed to do 65km that day of unreal riding.
After Saturday’s ride it was good to hang around the fire, have a drink and laugh with all the OBT’s. Everyone had an awesome day and I was stoked to be there.
MORE TO COME LATER.
