Well those that followed the ride report as Mick and others updated it will know that getting out of camp at Menindee lakes was looking like a drama

A 4w4 had slid of the road the evening before and it had rained a lot more since that, so we packed up and got ready to perform what Bollocks said would be the great escape

Here is some video selections of the escape, the pre escape interviews etc

Well one of the funny things that happened was when we spotted Boony walking through Silverton, obviously head down and a long face cause he wasnt on the ride :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I have traded my DRZ400 for a XT660Z, and riding home from Tamworth found the wind pulling at the visor and whistling through my ears nearly drove me batty (I have never ridden on tar at speed with a peaked helmet). Is this normal and I just have to get used to it, or can I adjust the visor, or should I take the visor off? My helmet is a Aria Tour Cross. Also I put goo in the tyres to help with punctures, could this affect the wheels balance? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Jim

Jim I purchased a higher screen for mine almost straight away it fixed the problem. Holding your head in anything other then the natural postion for long periods will only result in a sore neck, not a good idea

I have tried my M2R helmet and found it very noisy
so I only wear it on the XR in the bush

Reckon TB has let the Tenere find its head & he is just a mere passenger (as usual)

Gee you are tough when I am not around beagle…..

Nick from Tekniks sorted my suspension out in a minute. Turns out I just had to put it back where Nick had set it originally …..

It wasn’t Owl that wanted to stay at pubs it was krusty who has said he won’t be doing another ride unless it’s pub stays…

Gaz and Bollocks have done an amazing job…

I felt bad about Nick’s fall, I lost the front end coming into a bog hole and went down. I struggled with the bike all day and was very disapointed and thought it was me I couldn’t relax all day. Nick who I rode with said many a time it looked bad. Moose went for a ride on it and said it was an accident waiting to happen and it was dangerous. He said don’t ride it till you fix it. As above a call to Nick at Tekniks a tyre pressure change , preload change and the forks through the triple trees and it’s a fantastic ride now..

More later cheers Krusty for the loan of the I phone
