Mick I can only imagine is worried about weights after he has just welded the arse of the kato back on :laugh: :pinch:

Sutto told me last week “The 690 is a good adventure bike but they cant carry the weight we do adventure riding”

I will weigh mine maybe this week if I can get time and Lefty is available

Well done SB…….great effort, should be very proud of yourself.

It would great to hear all the details of what goes on one day, what you’d do differently etc.

Top stuff

Crash

Plus 1 for what Crash said

I will buy the beers for a de-brief at the pub would love an insight into how it was from the horses mouth

Was that your foot on the video SB? There was some sticks sticking out of people during the event :ohmy: That will be something I will take out of it as I will be riding around there next year (ADV riding that is)

You home yet?

Hey there TB,
I don’t want to state the obvious there champ, but I will. As for your bash plate splitting along the LHS weld and after giving you a hand to lift the Tenere after a little incident. There is a bit of tonnage involved when it hits the ground eh! If you know what I mean………….

Cheers,
Left One

Hit the ground lefty?? Tell us more mate :huh:

It fell off the stand about 3 to 4 weeks ago when I had he forks out, just a tip to the side onto the wooden deck. I straightened it up onto the bash plate and left it there until I got the forks back. Lefty came around and helped me lift it onto the lift stand. I don’t know how you would know it weighs much Lefty cause we each had hold of the bars and I saw when I lifted it up your feet were of the ground and you were hanging like a dead weight :laugh: :laugh: And I might add not happy about being up that high as the photo shows

When I went to Cape York in 2004 we weighed my XR600 rider and gear all in one hit on the scales at work and it was over a quarter of a tonne :laugh:

No broken frames there Boulder oh sorry yeah it was a Honda :whistle:

Just found this morning my B&B bash plate is splitting along the left side weld :angry:

Results here

SB finished 20th out of 33 if I counted right just in front of Don Lark. Feel a bit sorry for Don, he is a long time supporter of all that is Condo bikes and events there. He was running real strong further up the field and had some sort of problem during the last day or day before I can’t remember exactly and dropped a fair few places. Thats racing I guess

Hats off to those that entered and well done to all that finished, Good on you Damian Grabham about time you had a go show at this event
Interesting when you look at each brand results

Honda 11 finished 3 DNF
Husaberg 11 finished 2 DNF
Yamaha 3 finished 2 DNF
Husqvarna 1 finished 0 DNF
Suzuki 0 finished 1 DNF
KTM 6 finished 5 DNF

As a Berg rider it is good to see the brand was supported well and the bad reliablity tag the brand has carried looks to have gone

Yeah good on Damian what a nice guy great result for him. Not sure if one good event for Berg means that they are now all good but reckon it’s a start :laugh:

Here his what first, second and third look like. First and second Honda mounted ( congratulations to GHR, Todd and Jacob) well done to Rod as well as I heard he rode the last four days with broken knuckles?

Sb250 finishing

Ridden hard and happy, a Yamaha pilot living the power of dreams on a Honda, happy 40th SB for whenever it is, lived the dream

Winner are grinners and ride Hondas

Ring me after 9 in the morning Krusty and remind me. I have Steve’s number and will find out if he is around. It’s not a shop persay but a warehouse / shop if you catch my drift

TB

[GregMember]

I reckon after Nicks dramas with sizes and not as importantly his not being able to make his mind up with the colour until he knew what I ordered first you are better driving the 20mins to his shop and trying them on Krusty. It wont make a difference on the price and you will be sure it fits And if you are standing at Silverton with a jacket that doesnt fit as well as it could you maybe tempted to use it and regret it later
