I will come Moto, start time and location is easy for me, I personally wouldnt be interested in any of the above because its ridden to death and chopped up enough and why people keep going over and over it when there’s so much up there I don’t understand, but lock me in Eddie I will need a ride by then, I will have to drop my other toy of before sat then

Ride Details

Old Bull of the year 2009 – Boulder
Boulders nominations included the following; unassuming, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, co-operative, not a ‘big head’, sweeps, fixes bikes, gives out fuel and generally a top bloke

Runner Up for Old Bull of the year 2009 – Eagle
Eagle’s nominations included the following; if people take time to read his post he is fairdinkum, and always makes new oldbulls welcome. takes the piss a bit and gives a bit, is keen to participate in rides and organizing, not to mention the 3 he got to sign up after his trip to Nundle and he never even had his bike

One of the things that made this seem so right is that both Boulder and Eagle secretly nominated each other

Boulder won a set of Pivot Pegz and Eagle a set of electronic goggles supplied by Mud n Tar and some Belray product supplied by Battyes

Best Crash
Racey Tracy won the best crash of the day for swimming laps in a big puddle, maybe more then once I think
For her medley swimming efforts won a $100 gift voucher donated by Sutto’s at Penrith

Longest Distance Travelled
Menace won a $100 gift voucher donated by Sutto’s at Penrith for longest distance travelled to attend the ride

Best Two Stroke Moment of the ride
Dr D won this award for drowning his 300 two smoker KTM, not once but twice in what can only be called an enthusiastic creek entry crossing attempt (left some jaws on the ground) DrD won Belray products supplied by Battyes

Best 4 Stroke moments
Won by Ghostrider who decided to spend sometime in the mud
won Belray products supplied by Battyes

Support Vehicle
Chopper was given a $100 gift voucher donated by Sutto’s at Penrith for his efforts all weekend, what a champion

Best Decorated Helmet
Won by Champo, he was the only one that went to the effort, he won a $100 gift voucher donated by Sutto’s at Penrith

I did the best wheelies, Moto also did a ripper I hear , but I cant win so it didnt happen

Moto and Superunit both tried for special person of the ride award on saturday night :laugh:

Jack Link’s excellent Beef Jerky products were passed around all night at the pub and on the trails it’s so good thanks Jack Links

Thanks to Battyes, Sutto’s, Jack Links, Mud n Tar and Pivot Pegz for their on going support and please try and support those that support us

I would like to thank all those that attended even with the weather the way it was and rode to the conditions, I love organising these rides and seeing everyone enjoy themselves regardless of the conditions, cheers for that Old Bulls

My next organised ride will be the Old Bulls Biggest weekend out in July that ride is full and a big test and that will be it for me organising rides for a while.

Hi guys Aidan here
A massive thank you for your help yesterday. Had 3 hours of surgery this morning to put the fibea back together, was in 5 pieces.
Also thanks to the guys who went back in today to retrieve the panzer, hope you enjoy the ride…. :laugh:

Thanks so much for the help, and concern. Will have to get some riding lessons from you lot!

Cheers
Aidan

Welcome mate

I just spoke with your wife and let her know the bike is home, mate I am more than happy to help as I am sure someone would help myself or my friends if need be. We went in through Shooters Hill and found the bike no problems at all, she rides straight and true. Got to say buddy if you take to this crashing caper I am happy to ride it back, its an awesome bike and a pleasure to ride and the heated grips how good are they. I tested it out for you and its all good I must say.
Its parked here at home disc brake locks on it and chained to my Honda (which they would take first :laugh: ) and its cover is on, so its safe. I will drop it up on Saturday as I arranged with your wife..

[GregMember]

We have it sorted, Chops coming over now, and the keys are being run up here now and we will go and bring it back, I get to ride a BMW for a test and help someone out, the bike has been ridden and is ok so here goes

TB

[GregMember]

Yeah I think Moto was going to drive the Battyes tyre deal and pivot pegz, is that as per we discussed before you wrote yourself of Moto?

TB

[GregMember]

No worries Craig, I was the leader of the group and live in the blue mountains, I can get back to the bike no problems should they need someone the get them to the spot or she needs any help, I will PM you my contact number

Cheers

TB

[GregMember]

Do you want a hand to get his bike, I am able to do it today and am more than capable of riding it out of there

[GregMember]

Fez contact Fathead at Battyes on 02 95435133, tell him you are an Old Bull and he will help you no problem

Be careful of pads from E bay, I fitted a new set of rears before the caves to caves and ended up with both worn out and one losing its remaining pad from the backing plate

Spend the money and buy some decent pads, better then damaged disc’s, I was lucky as I heard it about 2kms from the end of day one and stopped using the back brake. I had packed a spare set of EBC that had done the four day when I raced it and 11 months trail riding

Just a quick update for those concerned.
The Oberon ambulance service located the downed rider and got him back to Oberon. He has since been transported to Sydney.

##Important lesson##

Never ride in remote areas in a party of less than 4 riders!!!
(1 stays, 2 go for assistance)

Crash

PS. It will come out in the Caves ride reports, but we came across 2 blokes on the track on our return today. One had a BMW1200 land on his leg after losing traction on a slippery uphill section of the track. It spun around and crunched his leg under it. We made him comfortable, reassured them, gave them a silver warmth blanket, changed our route home and arranged some help for him.

you didnt mention we said we had to use his new BMW for a signal fire, or that we said he had to become a member before we would help him, or Tiny wanted to swap bikes :laugh:
