Two banger if you want to take a drive up the hill on the weekend or tomorrow arvo I can put my bike up on a stand and demonstrate / explain / answer your questions if you want? That way you can see it as well

Welcome champ. You have met some of the locals I see and Mick even covered his own personal battle :laugh: you should feel welcome or scared at that

Plenty on and around will no doubt catch you on a ride somewhere I am sure

Hi STM,
They charge $400 but if you talk to Rach down there you might be able to sort out an Old Bull discount.

My Tee N Cee are 5 years old they haven’t lifted or faded at all. While it hasn’t been ridden a lot they have done more work with little care then most bikes. While not discrediting the Ring master at all Scott I would like to see other brands after that period of time

We used to hire that hut of NP and go riding up there for the weekend. Used to be good value and had gas hot water. Good read cheers, bloody Moose knows some cracker tracks and trails just got to get it out of his head and sorted ( insert Moose’s laugh :laugh: )

If your X-rays come back with nothing ask for an ultra sound of your shoulder to check for ligament and soft tissue damage. If that comes back ok you are in the clear and need that cement you mentioned. Good luck

Paint not powder coat as it chips easier from experience. Also make sure you get all the acid out of the tubes etc cause it seeps out over time and wrecks you paint / powder coating also from experience :pinch: sand blast

Looks a cracker well done mate

I am after some advice please :blush: I have just got these wolfman bags for my birthday and are just trying to work out what to pack and where. Say for example you were going on a 5day ride and camping. You may possibly stay overnight for 1 night at a pub or motel.
I usually carry the things that i may need quickly in my tank bag or backpak, such as camera, spare gloves, visor/goggle cleaner, rag etc.

I would probably carry the lighter stuff in the top bag; say tent, mattress, sleeping bag, camp chair and the heavier stuff in the saddle bags to keep the weight lower. (As TB has suggested)

As for what to pack and where, your thoughts would be much appreciated

Thanks for your input,

Cheers,
Lefty

Lefty I think you pretty well have it covered mate, honestly from there on in its personal choice I reckon. I always try heavy stuff in the bottom of the two packs, from there I pack clothes and cooking in the left. The right has my sleeping bag and spares clothes, empty water bladder etc.
Something to work on is to always pack them the same once you get it sorted so you know where stuff is it saves rooting around looking for your crap.

Ha Ha Amy, actually the reason I rode behind you and Ace is because I CAN’T BLEEDIN’ WELL KEEP UP!

Especially with you on that rocket 250. I can’t imagine you’ll be any slower on the 800 either!

I wonder if 606’s will fit the Triumph. Anybody know?

Wigster

Hey Wiggy, see my last post here try a 908 RR on the front and a Mitas E09 on the rear I used that combo on the tiger on the last nav ride. The tiger was used after that ride to go to Phillip Island on a lot of bitumen and the tyres are still ok

Adv Moto can supply them if you talk to Janice or Steve
