I have had the DRZto 160 using this standard gearing before.

We couldnt get more than 145 on dirt at the Condo out of a more modified DR than yours, check your speedo mate maybe like my Tenere one which is more than 10% out reads 165 at 150 on the GPS :angry: Maybe your grips heaters are upsetting the electronic speedo :laugh:

Hi TB,

It unlikely that I’m going to have my XR400 back in time for this ride. The suspension is done but we are waiting on some mounting bits for the 22l fuel tank. Even if I did get the bike back early this week I still need to work with Steve at AdventureMoto to sort out my panniers. So unfortunately I’m going to pull out of this one. Will target this next one on the calendar. :side:

No problems Kat hey if you want you could road trip the BMW up there for the nights and the carry on :laugh: The Mudgee guys are road tripping you could meet them somewhere. Bruce the Mudgee leader is a bloody nice guy ( like me ) or just cruise up yourself

Just a note for everyone going, on behalf off those taking the lead from Wauchope, Tamworth, Mudgee and Windsor.

If you are not happy at any stage with any part of the ride, you are free to leave and not participate, remember you are joining us of your own free will. If you have a friend that’s a fancy talking lawyer, stay home with him and have fun together.

* This is an adventure tour as such, don’t see the word race there do you? Also anything can and will happen, we are going much further than the carpark, please ensure you and your bike are prepared. Remember its not a race. If you are a hero racer or a hero of any sort stay home with old mate and his lawyer buddy. (besides We are the only ones that know the way )
There are many hidden obstacles, cars, 4w4’s, rocky sections, blind crests and curves, it may be dusty, it may be muddy so please ride within your limits, if you feel you are slow (not that you will be) you will be faster then a guy laying on ground waiting for help, don’t spoil it for yourself and everybody else.

* If you ride in such a way as to endanger yourself or anyone else on the ride you will be told to leave, this includes passing people in a manner dangerous and such trail ethics, the lead riders decision is final if you dont like this or anything else here DONT COME.

Might as well seeing I have a set of bags on loan & possibly a pair coming secondhand soon

This will give me a basic setup ready for the next steed whenever it arrives :dry: :huh: soon I hope
Am still travelling light (no cooking gear or extra spares etc)
I do have a tent, fly, camp mat, sleeping bag, clothes, towel and some extra fuel

From “Super Commuter” to “Super Adventurer” :woohoo:

Eags that looks super Adventure setup mate well done Andy bags are yours mate I just need them for the Nabiac ride

That’s a great setup, looks like a strong alloy rack for the bags did that come with the bags and blinkers looks like it would just go from bike to bike as a unit or did you make it?

Will give you a ring later in the week and work out the time you want to meet to where we will be. I will have my tracker on and the page will be on the site so you will be able to follow our progress before you leave home

Well Gaz and Krusty called in this morning with Gaz’s new Wolfman racks and bags. Gaz picked the bags and frames after I tipped him to them on ADV’s flea market. The racks were for a DR400 SM and Gaz has a DRZ400. So they front up with a 6 pack of Bundies (10.15am :laugh: ) OK well the righthand rack went on easy, I had to trim the end of a bracket here and there to make it fit smick but smick it was.

The left side needed some shed time and a bracket made, spacers cut and sourced but armed with a bundy we rallied and were equal to the task :laugh:

So the frames were fitted and then we had to fit the bags for the first time, setup is required once but it’s happy days from there on. The IPad was dragged out and the guys studied the figment video (I had seen it before as Nickj and I have been looking at this setup for a while now)

Gaz with his lookers on and Krusty watching the video

Here is the video they were studing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5R9CiDaJec&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Bags he all fitted up, nice setup

Gaz all set to go

Gaz on the left and Krusty on the right

I noticed as the guys were leaving that Gaz’s setup leaves a lot more room on the bike and isn’t has top heavy as Krusty’s

Gaz’s

Krusty’s

The setup is neat and if you watch the video on the bags you will see that they are easy to take on and off when setup. The video explains all about the wolfman bag setup.

If you are interested in any of the products seen he give Steve at Adventure Moto a ring as he stocks them and will look after you
