Yeah great job Boony it’s a great clock and it was something I didn’t want to part with. It means a lot to me as I am sure it does to you and now Dude. The maker of the clock did an amazing job off his own bat showing the spirit that the clock represents

Didnt you take your rekulse out Ollie?

TB

yes I did, But that doesnt mean I dont like em. The critical gap went out of spec and I had to remove it so I could ride the bike until my new clutch set arrived from the states. The symptons Galey was describing was exactly where a Rekluse would shine without a doubt.

Ollie

Hey chill Ollie :laugh: I was just asking as the new bike which will be ready for Dungog has one I am interested is all. I was wondering why it had been removed. I am in two minds about them is all. On small bore bikes and two smokers yeah but on a big bore 4 stroke like is coming umm :dry: Time will tell

So the last day, sorry about the gap between posts 

We woke at Hampton, to be honest I felt a little seedy but not to to bad considering we had a few We needed fuel badly, Nick’s BM had already borrowed fuel and my light had been on for some 60kms. Because of where I wanted to go the best place for fuel was Mt Lambie. The ride there was uneventful in the fog and mist. We fueled had a bacon and egg roll and headed of to Meadow Flat to turn up to Sunny Corner, then Dark Corner and onto the dirt proper. (there had been some dirt before Dark Corner but bugger all) we headed over through some over grown singles proper from the Sunny Corner rally off Lavis Lane much to Nick’s horror and DeJay had a little lay down in the clay ruts. We headed up through Turon State forest on a track Crash calls the poo track (cause it’s shit hot!!!) once at Mt Horrible we rode down the dirt to Palmers Oaky. Fish had lead all this while Nick and I swept. Once at Palmers Oaky I thought it better to go through Turon gates rather than the route used on the Capertee to Sunny Cnr birthday ride. The Capertee run is more fun we have done it a couple of times on the bigger bikes but the creek crossings may have been a issue with a the rain of late. Once we popped out on the Mudgee rd I took the boys down a little track near the railway line into Capertee from Running Stream. We sped through Capertee on the speed limit and jumped back on the railway service track to a single that delivered us up to the site of DeJays recent crash site. I walked Dejay through what we knew, cause he does stuff all about it still. It was a quiet time for Dejay as he tried to come to grips and struggled to remember what he could (which was nothing in the end) we shot down and into the Ben Bullen state forest. In here I missed a turn and we did a heap of unplanned but shit hot fun tracks. It was when punting through the undulated tracks that the BMW suspension just couldn’t cope as the rear shock lost the plot. The Ohlins on the Tenere was awesome (thanks Tekniks) and I soon found I had no one to talk to on the blue tooth. It was sandy, had windrows it was fun. We regrouped at Lidsdale and headed up the Black Fellows Hand Trail to Clarence. I poked the boys through a single and back out onto the dirt road to the Zig Zag

There wasnt much to report after that we rode home from there, the tracks I had in mind from Clarence to Bell were ruined by state rail working on their rail lines.

I enjoyed this ride no end it was a ripper, I was happy that Nicks bike turned out to be a pretty easy fix. Thanks to Steve for lending Nick the BMW, Jason Barrett for being Jason just a super laid back, helpful, nice bloke. Lance for making the effort to come along under trying circumstances, my thoughts are with you and your wife mate. To the Boulder boys, cheers guys as always (will help with your maintenance next time if you want, don’t give up we will get you through a ride one day without a breakdown, at least there wasn’t a flat this time :laugh: :laugh: ) nah seriously awesome as always guys. Dejay, man you ride that DR so well, why can’t you do the same on that orange shit wreck? :laugh: Nick you took to that BM like a duck to water.

When are we doing it again?

TB

Just read that man it was a great ride, can’t wait to get back there at Easter on the scrap heap ride on the loaner XLV750 :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

OK Fish I will tell you the truth about early to bed sometimes. Note last night I didn’t go to bed early, well I take leading seriously and a dusty head doesn’t navigate as well. The most important reason is a dusty head doesn’t dodge cars, 4x4s and bikes as well as a non dusty person leading and f€#k having a head on in the middle of bum f$&k no where. Last night doesn’t matter eh almost home (Hampton, StAlburns) make sense :huh: Sometimes I check maps and the mapping software this trip on my IPod helps linking all the tracks and then watch a movie like Just Go With It, the Hangover, the Hangover 2 etc :laugh:

Glad you liked the ride and tracks mate, when are you coming to take the Ten for a ride?

Go on, laugh it up! :angry:

I am obviously getting old and letting my ambitions get in the way of my abilities…Years ago i would have eaten that hill up on one wheel on the kato and thrown roost all over you as you were picking the tractor up out of the mud:P

Ace the part about the Kato up the hill on one wheel maybe but the roosting and picking up come on mate. People here know me, muds not a problem water crossings well thats another story :laugh: (remember the first crossing on the cape ride 2004 , its always the first crossing for me like last years high country :laugh: :laugh: )

Will get back to you with the date soon mate would love to do a ride with you again (no Gorillas this time :laugh: )

Is this the ride you were talking about yesterday TB?

By the way, thanks for hooking up Chicken to help me out yesterday and to OB networking(thanks Chicken, you have my number if ever need anything up this way), all turned out good in the end. Just a few scratches and the Beema and a shit load of lost pride at my end(very little left nowdays).

Whats up with the state of the Watagan trails nowdays?? Are there no funds to fix them or have they left them in that state to discourage people from heading in there?

Thats the ride Ace but I hear that there could be a date change in the next day or two stay tuned I will let you know

As for yesterday, well its just another day in Ace’s Adventure riding life, two fro two now :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Why because your Mitsubishi 4 wheel drive is wearing the front tyres evenly?
Or is it because your jeans pockets are perfect for hooking your thumbs in?
Is it because you can leave the door open on your fourby and the battery doesn’t go flat?

BTW someone has a nice Ducati in your photo
