Its there out the back of the shed now and in one piece! :huh:

[GregMember]

Yeah sorry I am with Moto, everything he said except the bit about the high performance XR’s lol, its a sales pitch to people.

They make one for diesel engines, its going to increase fuel economy, its going to reduce engine wear. I asked the sales man that pitched it to me, that the major trucking companies that have a fuel bill of a million dollars a day in the US could fit one and save .002KPL of fuel that would save them millions a year, why don’t they have them and he couldnt / wouldn’t answer, because it bull, we have tested them and see the same fuel burn per hr and same hp

:dry:

Sorry

[GregMember]

Unless it is actually raining Mick I will be in a Jersey for sure, and not just any jersey but the jersey!

Keep an eye on the weather links in the long post that keeps updating with ALL the details needed to be read by everyone

Maybe bring your jacket and they can be put in the 4×4 drive with your bag for those that have them

[GregMember]

We have at rain / drizzle here all night, but looking at the weather information for the places we will be riding doesnt look as though they got any rain, Mal did you get any where you are?

I’ve just tried a CHUX. Cleaned my filter, re-oiled it and oiled up the Chux. Allowed to dry o/night. Bike seems sluggish? T.B. Was I meant to oil the Chux? Or just lay it over the Filter?( couldn’t imagine it’d do much without the filter oil on it?)

TB goes so slow he wouldn’t notice the loss:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Not even a nibble TB:(

Moto is driving the support vehicle with Chop’s 5″ x 8″ box trailer, the support vehicle is to carry our bags (Back pack size only please)and should we have a breakdown or injury.

Please read the below and have your bike ready for you and everybody on the ride

With the distance that this ride will cover all bikes that attend the ride will need to be mechanically sound.

All riders will need to carry on them

1 x new Chain joining link

1 x Front tube, front tube can be used in the front or rear

1x Spark plug

Please check your bikes over and cover the basics as it affects everybody, we all know stuff happens and that’s trail riding but I just want avoid silly things cropping up.
Basics include:
Tyres, chain, sprockets, wheel brgs, spokes, cable ends, etc,

There will plenty of guys there with tyre levers, pumps, nuts, bolts, wire, chain breakers, cable ties, plug spanners tape and bits and pieces so don’t stress if you don’t have those things, but bring them if you do and be self sufficient.

If you can pack a spare air filter with your chain lube and pack it in your bag and let the service vehicle take it, then if its dusty you can change it rather than clean it. (supercheap auto sell pre oiled for most bikes for $14.99 or there abouts)
One final thing can all bikes have heavy duty tubes fitted, ultra heavy duty are better but heavy duty will do.

We are leaving the Zig Zag Railway car park at 8.00am saturday morning! Sorry but it has to be 8.00am because of the distance we have to cover, please don’t be late
Everybody with standard size fuel tanks need to refuel twice from Jerry Cans carried by the support vehilce.[/b][/size][/color]
If we can get 8, 20 litre Jerry cans and people can buddy up and share a Jerry can we only have to carry 8 Jerry cans.

Those that we know will have big tanks fitted are.

Chicken 24L
Boulder 25L
TB 17L
Crash 17L

Is there anyone else?, if so let TB know please, if you have a 20L Jerry can please bring it along and we will sort out the number we need and who can share them on the morning. Note leave Jerry can empty, you can fill them at Yetholme, that way Moto hasn’t got to cart them all day full for no reason.

With a support vehilce to load and trailer etc to get ready on the morning can you please get to the starting point as early as possible.

I have a gagdet for reverse bleeding it Tiny is all, other thing you can do is fill it and just crack the nipple and let it slow bleed itself to a point, the small piston travel doesnt push enough fluid to bleed like a car system, also on an XR sometimes you need to remove the caliper and hold the hose straight and reverse bleed it

TB

[GregMember]

One rum, and I will fix, just one rum long neck tomorrow arvo Tiny

TB

[GregMember]

yeah throw it in mate, good idea this is the real guest house
