It’s a surgeon from Tamworth hospital that isn’t a member, so the whole exercise has no point. Like owning a DR and calling it a dirt bike

Some more details

Bob you are a man of few words but all true

Here is what I think or the facts as I see it and can work out
– Snowy and Boony are the only ones that know the person, they work together and the guy is handy with a knife they both work at the hospital and a surgeon would be handy with a knife
– it isnt Bolls also doesnt work with the above knunkle heads
– it isnt Aaron also doesnt work with the above knunkle heads
– House is a real estate agent also doesnt work with the above knunkle heads
– Pep wouldnt own a KTM he is smarter than that
– Buzz drives trucks not knifes
– I cant see him even being a OBT member
Its a wild goose chase we cant answer I reckon

TenereTravelers wrote:Hi folks, no story, just a quick pic of me and the Tenere:) It is going to Teknik’s tomorrow for the full suspension overhaul to beef it up a bit. As you can see, we normally travel 2 up and can add up to 30 kg of luggage. All up extra max weight (rider, passenger and 30 kg of luggage) is around 180kg (still 10 kg shy of the max limit of 190 kg). That said, the suspension is suffering when loaded up so a visit to Teknik is going to sort that out!I got mine setup for 160ish and Nick and I both thought it would be to heavy but I am happy with it, very happy actually
Dont forget to tell them your an Old Bull and get your discount

Wow the great ride weekends just keep on coming, last weekend the bridle trail, Hillend, etc and then a two dayer with Eags, Kat and crew.
So I thought I would make a decent ride to Eags, so a quick post and got me a travel partner for Saturday, a loop planned and away we go. I got up Saturday morning and it was cold, fark I thought whose idea is this :laugh: The ride out to Windsor to meet Kat confirmed it was as cold as I have ever been on a motorbike :ohmy: I got to Windsor and fueled, grabbed a red bull and waited for Kat. I took a picture and posted using my Ipad as I was trialing my travel case
Once she turned up got a coffee, stopped swearing :laugh: we left and rode out to Colo river, a left and we followed the river to the bridge to cross and run the dirt to Colo Heights. We stopped on the bridge and Kat says “why have they painted the bridge in the shade white” :laugh: :laugh: really
Its ice / frost Kat 
Yup it was bloody cold
So we found some sun for Kat to thaw out, she needs different gloves and maybe heated grips, a screen
Its a nice place for a summer trip, I couldnt talk Kat into a swim, she told me to do something un-natural to myself :ohmy:
Off we went up to Colo where Kat put 5 litres in the XR and we left, not far we ventured of the black top again and explored some of my fav tracks, checking of ins and outs for future use. The soft sand was interesting eh Kat
We got to Putty and headed bush to do a big 140km loop back to Howe’s Valley, we had heaps of fallen trees to get over or around

Once we got through that we crossed the Putty rd and started along the Yengo track. Here is Kat coming up the rollers, its steeper than it looks
It was none stop, actually we only stopped twice really all the way to Wollembi, a stop of anytime really. Start to Wollembi Pub
Once we had a Bundy each we trucked off straight to Beags place. We stopped at the bottle shop and Beags had the door up and ready when we rolled up. We sat around the shed and drank, had a few actually and inhaled a pizza :laugh:
Next day when I was woken by a over excited Beags, yeah wakes me at FARKING 5am for a 7am start, from his place where we are at!!!! He is there in his gear bar boots waiting, as exciting as a dog with two dicks !!!!!
I went down stairs and saw these little boots and thought Lefty had fronted up :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Still getting ready
Eventually we leave Beags place, thanks Beags and family for putting us up
We got to Freemans and soon a crowd turned up, yeah ADV riding isnt any good
We rode from there out through the tracks Nickj and I had been through a month or so ago but they have been made into a 4X4 track now not the singles they were
Before
Still lots of fun
Choot got bogged in the same spot Nickj did, couldnt get the camera out before he got out but it was the same as Nick so here is Nick, was exactly the same
From there it was a good run down to St Alburns, from there up to the lookout which was a rocky shitty testing track for a loaded ADV bike, but fun. Saw the big 690 lie down, rode around it actually :laugh:
Up the lookout
From there I split, Krusty came along and I turned it up to the pace I ride with Nick, it was none stop, just get to an intersection wait and make sure Krusty can see which way and go. We wound up to Colo, down to Colo river and at to Bilpin all on dirt. 5 kms and back onto the dirt, from there an 18km run to a locked gate!!!!! WTF that wasnt part of the plan, turn around and rode out of the valley. Once back on the black stuff to the Pie in the Sky blue mountain style. Quick pie and I bailed leaving Krusty, once up to Kurrajong I took a 4×4 track to the river and headed home
Thanks to all involved, thanks again Beags and family, I have started planning a family weekend down here already
Kat you ride at a good pace stop saying you are slow :angry:Here is my route, click the link and check it out

Yes not a single km of speedo wear has occurred- some of the repairs underway
all the plastics and I mean all of the plastics
majority of electrical harnesses and switches
speedo cable/ speedo
hand grips
new seat
header pipe
rego label holder and label
side stand
and no doubt there is moreIt wasn’t dropped, nor run over nor hit by lightning.
It was eaten by a bloody great dog that dragged it around the yard eating various bits and bending the rest! And the dog is still alive!
You are bloody Joking right?? I wanna see some photos of this!! I would have drowned the bastard!!
Great dog love him
, although I am worried about a dog that chews shit :laugh: :laugh: Seriously cant the dog get sick eating feaces :laugh:TB
Yes Eags what is doing there :laugh:
My thoughts are:
– Boony has always loved adventure riding, you could see how jealous he was at Bollocks place that night
– He confessed he would like one but Snowy would tease him
– He looked at buying a LC4 sometime ago
– He was talking about riding to Camerons a while ago, that should be this year
hows that for starters
