Amy just rang what a funny phone call! The girls are pumped and are well on target. Amy spoke about how Kat and her make a great team and ones strength is the others weakness etc. They have enjoyed a golden run, both girls raved about Rocky River Rd which as Nick knows is one of my all time favs. Kat said and I quote she creamed her pants over Rocky River Rd and whats to return and do a race or something through there as fast as she can!!
Kat said she is now a Kat with only 7 lifes left after a close shave with two roos this arvo. The front one she just missed the second tail whipped her as it tried to miss her.
They went to the local Honda dealer when they got into town and ol mate went nuts over Kat’s XR400. She got mate to clean the front window and stick a OBT sticker on and she and mate got down and took a photo :laugh:
God its hard to remember everything spoken about :pinch:
They are having a ball and being safe it seems
TB
Edit
Steve just rang and yes the bike was over filled with oil :angry: . It is supposed to hold 2.6 Ls and had 3.2 Ls in it :ohmy: Thats why it was pumping it out! First question I in Gloucester but was told it was right. The dipstick cant be accessed with the Rally bash plate and big tank :huh: . They are fairly convinced it hasnt damaged any seals or they are any leaks so its all good
More later
Everyone is in Goondawindi (Spelling) meaning they have completed todays leg and are on schedule for a 14 day finish
I expect the girls will phone this evening so I will get the goss :laugh:
Spoken with Steve, they are doing some jobs on his bike this evening. Steve’s bike still has oil carry over problems on the constant high rpm engine sections :blink: Been doing it since day one Clubby’s doesnt but.
I asked at Glouster had it been over filled and they thought it hadnt but werent sure as ut had its final oil change at Yamaha. I checked both breathers etc. The fact it doesnt blow smoke or blow oil seals etc good chance its been over filled. Tonight they are dropping the out and measuring it
More later if the girls ring
TB
The girls look like they got off early this morning :huh: ummm left early :laugh: they are moving, riding
Clubby’s tracker hasnt been activated yet :huh: Whats says you Eagle? :laugh: you maybe right mate

I rode Steves BMW F800 around the High country this year and maybe accidentally did a jump or 2 on it and I think the shock got warm occasionally but never failed , what’s happening to make these other BMWs fail I wonder ??
Go team OBT !!! Loving it
Nick
Its a worry Nick eh the BMW 800 have a known weak point with the top shock bolt, people fit different bolts and there is a kit for a mod I have seen at Teknik’s.
Mickp I am sure knows a bit more about themTB

Clubby & co are either way behind or he has lost his tracker too , or is it just playing up ???? The guys are having all the
bad luck at the moment :whistle:No I am told they had a trouble free run today apparently Clubby and Steve made it to Urbenville before the girls actually :whistle: rumour has it they may have maybe taken the highway :blink:
I just got of the phone from the girls. The girls dragged bear along today and said they only had a few turn arounds and are getting better with their navigation. They tried sitting a little more today to conserve energy. They talked of team work, well oiled team and sound fantastic tonight. They used the coms more Kat said warning one another of what’s ahead and swapping the lead regularly to stay fresh and share the stress of leading. I had been telling them that Nick and I had found talking when tired helped keep you more alert. The American Dan that started at Wisemans binned the 800 BMW this arvo and has a suspected broken wrist. He rode into Urbenville and has gone to a medical centre for X-rays etc. Andrew Hollis’s badly broken ankle (info from Steve at the time) turns out to be a dislocated ankle with sounds bloody painful! :ohmy: Another of the BMW800s that started at Wisemans is parked up with a broken shock and waiting on parts
Its hard remembering everything they spoke off Kat said she had no range and couldnt postI am now configuring Steve’s new spot tracker that is on its way to him
Go team OBT! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
