    Boulder`s was on the blink the whole trip pretty much :whistle:

    Nicks worked perfectly as did yours, so on the shoulder might be an option then for solo riding :)
    Cheers

    Sulphur in diesel was dropped to under 10 ppm (parts per million) as of a few years ago because of exhaust aftertreatment systems. The sulphur becomes soot and after a regeneration is left as ash. Ash will eventually block the DPF (diesel particulate filter) meaning it will need to be cleaned by the dealer or in some cases replaced depending on the system. Sulphur also affects DOCs (diesel oxidation catalyst) used with ad blue (urea) after treatment systems, sulphur was used for lubrication in fuel. if you always use a known brand fuel which as pointed by SB can come from any refinery you should be fine.
    Common rail fuel filters normally filter as low as 2 microns (a micron is a millionth of a metre) so that’s pretty small, never pre fill the fuel filter as you will put unfiltered fuel in the system always prim it through. If you install an extra fuel filter do it before the OEM filter and use a 10 to 15 micron water separator style filter.
    Also check the engine oil you use if you have a DPF as the high detergent oils also block the DPFs, special spec oil is required.

    Hard to get the logo to face the sky on your body ????? :dry: Unless you stick it to the top of your lid :whistle: :P
    On shoulder would be pain in the arse hitting the side of your helmet etc

    I suppose it is best on the body in the case of an off for sure (so you can hopefully hit the button) just not so good for tracking function, but the rescue alarm is the priority ;)

    Thanx, I will give it all some thought

    Boulder has his mounted in the recess on his peak facing up. Nickj has moved his to the top of his shoulder strap

    On your body if you ride by yourself, on the bike if you ride in a group or with someone. Thinking is that on your own in a crash you need in on yourself if you crash and can’t get to the bike. In a group doesn’t matter a big black rats fat as somebody, anybody can set it off on your behalf.

    I would guess the Owls and Deejay are towing Boulder down the highway and TB and Nick are off on their own adventure.

    Nah Jeffro Fish towed Boulder down the slab for the last 400, Krusty and Gaz slabbed also.
    Nick, DeeJay, Lotsa, Mickp and myself took the deep sand and 54 gate option dirt to the end ride and still beat them to the pub in Silverton

    More later heaps more.

    Am in the jump seat going through Bathurst at the minute looking forward to getting home. Deejay and I are going riding Monday on the single trail bikes who’s coming :woohoo:
