Oh sorry then mate, be grateful it isn’t a non genuine cheap one then. I will have a look tomorrow evening if you wish, two heads better than one :blink: Four hands help sometimes stretching it out before stapling. I have done heaps of them but only the none genuine one got me.

Race Day 2 (Bikes) – Grabham wins Finke for KTM with broken hand

Last Updated on Monday, 13 June 2011 16:23
Ben Grabham #X98 KTM has won his fourth Tattersall’s Finke Desert title with a badly broken hand.

Grabham crashed hard on leg 1 of the event yesterday but continued and hid his injury from race organisers, medical staff, and competitors   ‘because I didn’t want the other riders to hunt me down’.
 
He finished today’s event saying it was the toughest race win in his competition career.
 
In second place today was a Finke debutant Jarrod Bewley #X78 KTM (3 hours 59 minutes 37 secs) followed by local Alice Springs rider Ryan Branford #3 Husaberg (4 hours 6 minutes 59 secs).
 
Grabham’s winning time over the event was 3 hours 58 minutes 59 seconds as compared with the time set by last year’s winner Toby Price (4 hours 3 minutes 25 seconds) who succumbed to mechanical problems on Day 1 this year.
 
After finishing the event Grabham said he ‘made a silly mistake yesterday (leg 1 Alice Springs to Finke) and missed a gear and went over the handle bars.
 
‘I was worried about my bike and blocked the pain out on the way to Finke, but I woke up halfway through the night and my wrist had locked up and my fingers wouldn’t move. Luckily it all freed up about half an hour before today’s start.
 
It’s one of the hardest races I have ever won, but KTM had put in too much effort for me to give up.
 
Not finishing last year was disappointing, but if I can I will keep coming back for another ten years’, he said. 
 
Second placed rider Jarrod Bewley said there had been ‘no team orders in the KTM camp and that he looked forward to returning to the event that he hadn’t entered previously on the basis that it ‘had scared him’.

Buy a genuine cover, they seem to be better quality then the cheaper ones from experience. The genuine ones seem softer the last one I used was a cheaper one and I got the guy at Emu Plains to finish it off :pinch: as I couldn’t get it tight and I don’t pay anyone to do stuff for me unless there is no other way

Good to see Rocket, looks like Grabbo cruised home did enough to win it. Waiting for final results on the Finke site.

Bewley fastest home than the Hondas

Hope Grabbo won it again

What happened to Price anyone know, he was less than a minute behind Grabbo up to Bundooma. Between Bundooma and Mt Squires he went nearly a minute quicker than Grabbo and then disappeared from the results :blink: Hope it was only the KTM blowing up like Grabbo’s last year while he was leading and he isnt hurt

TB

His KTM blew up like happened to Grabbo’s KTM last year its seems

quote from the web site

“The KTM rider had succumbed to mechanical issues at the 190 kilometre mark from the start.”

Thats a fantastic effort Eags 104th

Grabham has 4mins on Bewley both on 450 katos. If Grabbo’s shitter holds together they wont beat him . What happened to Price anyone know, he was less than a minute behind Grabbo up to Bundooma. Between Bundooma and Mt Squires he went nearly a minute quicker than Grabbo and then disappeared from the results :blink: Hope it was only the KTM blowing up like Grabbo’s last year while he was leading and he isnt hurt
