I will buy the ADV ones if you wish to sell them Mo oh. Was great to see you again as I commented on saturday night, although I had been drinking :laugh: it is still true

As far as the widow maker goes, at least your bike didnt end up on its side 2/3s of the way up like mine scratching its way down :laugh:

Apart from the sweeps and local pre-runners I already thanked on the Saturday night I want to give a big shout out to Dude who really deserves the OBT spirit award and Spud for his contributions. The two of them exemplify what it means to be a member of OBT and are two of the many reasons I love being a part of this website.

Good onya boys!!!

STM

Well said King, yourself and Nick should also take a bow. Personally I know what it takes and you guys take it to another level, thanks

Sunday afternoon I got home after the ride, smashed two recovery beers and checked the surf. Nothing happening there so I went for a nana nap. I was woken by a knock at the front door and wandered down in my boxer shorts thinking it would be a neighbour but instead it was A NSW police officer in full uniform.
I started thinking what had gone wrong and who had pulled a 80km wheelie through suburbia as my name is all over this ride. He asked me if I was Scott and if I was leading a bunch of guys out in the bush today. I told him I was and he said that he could not thank me enough for loaning me the plug spanner and getting him and his mates out of the bush!!!

GOLD.

Friends in the right place there King, well done. How bad did you shit when you saw the copper at the door?

The King challenged me to put my favorite jersey of all time up for auction for charity. It was my charity I guess and it was a good cause and besides I thought who would want it and they wouldn’t pay bugger all would they really. It was a 80 buck jersey 4 years old, sure I loved it but it was mine :laugh: I figured I would buy it back, money to charity everyone’s happy right? Wrong the pasty white pommy wanted it for what reason I am not sure, was it because I made it up the hard run at Big Red and he didn’t? I don’t know but it’s gone, dead to me now :laugh: :unsure: :pinch: But all for Charity eh

Here is the lead up to the auction

The official photographer we paid on the night seemed to miss the auction itself but it went for $320!!!!! yup can you believe that!! Three hundred and twenty dollars :ohmy: Ollie would have paid that to be cool he has always been jealous of it :laugh:

Here is the happy winner

Ps whenever he wears it I will give anyone and everyone $20 for every time they roost him, shoot him or run over him

Enjoy Nick it’s all good really :laugh:

Auction viewing

Crash won Spuds work of art. Spud you are a legend mate for making and donating it mate thanks, $406 for it towards a great charity. I was glad to see the pasty white tea bag get out bid after he wouldn’t let me buy my jersey back ( more on that later :cheer: )

( perhaps Saturdays effort was a bit piss weak but there weren’t too many others at the top) :blink:

You made it Saturday Murph I will post the video evidence OK :laugh: God funny how one little drunken remark about getting up with a stop but getting restarted gets remembered

The beach flip looked scary I was just glad you were ok Murph, I thought Crash was going to run over you from my angle :ohmy: Hope Dude has some video of that

Update:
had a good ride today , but , still very difficult to hot start:

pulled her apart tonight,
the start circuit relay has a wear mark from rubbing on frame / tank, and a little hole in case, this seems to be letting water and dust in,
replaced it and it now primes much better.
some thing for others to check !
i’ve got to do the valves as well, reckon that will bring some better starting
keep updating as I go.

Sounds like a good find, keep us posted

Yes sorry for the confusion my Bundy state may have caused that. They both counted off course, Damo’s was without stopping was the reason he was crowned “King of the Hill” Murph made it I have it on video as well will post them later this week, he stopped but got started which was amazing in itself :ohmy:

To the King, you are the King sir, well done. Your helpers (sweeps, pre runners etc) getting it set and run thank you also wouldn’t happen without you all. nearly 3k raised for the Charity because of all that attended more on that later

More from me later much more. Have just stepped in the door after a pretty much 9hr trip home because of the Hwy being blocked both ways (accident) roadworks (on a freakin Sunday!)

There are 46 videos to sort through and over 60 still shots. I am tired and feeling rooted later and thanks again to every that attended

If you are not here you are missing out riding is awesome, it’s not about the journey folks it’s about the destination
