How good is it getting out Nato, have a cracker boys :woohoo:

Got out yesterday with Ballard and a mate of Rider X, Geoff decided we should explore an area that they hadn’t taken the bigger bikes before. Didn’t get many pictures as I was busy to say the least with bags and gear on :laugh: A bit of pushing and pulling when I got hung up on a log :pinch:

Get into, dont be jealous Snowy :laugh: any bike time is better than no bike time BTW how much better is riding than whinging 👿

How good is being on Holidays until next year

Umm Al, are you actually working with a route or a track? Routes when planning will have a pop up box. The box that will pop up when working with tracks can be clicked on and closed. Once I get a track done and set the way points for the dumbest GPS I will see that weekend I convert to a route again keeping it to 199 as thats all a 220 can handle

I live in basecamp and only work in tracks as that is what my Garmins record in. I load tracks on Montanas and basically everything now at the navigation rides except Zumo 220’s and Zumo 550’s

Mate I promise I will come up and sit with you and sort both. If you come to the Feb navigation ride and get there half and hour early I will give you some time and show you

If any of that has helped ask away

Here is a few more photos from the ride and pre run (one of 5 pre runs)

In the forest with Willcox, Lefty and GB

Lefty rode the RideAdv XT660R on its first hit out, note the front mud guard :ohmy:

Not all riding there is bike prep required

Another pre run with Crash and Lefty

That hill again

Lefty coming up to see what the bugger I was thinking :huh:

Lefty out of talent pulling a U turn, I helped him pick it once I had a picture :laugh:

New company

Probably a chance to come clean just after 1pm and after the lunch and fuel stop Crash and I stopped and decided to do support the community of Trunkey Creek by donating some money to the Black Stump Pub so that money could be put back into the community via the publican. Oh yeah he gave a us a schooner for our donation, great scheme that one :laugh: Great beer as well nice and cold

More later

Are you the founding member of the new Tamworthian ADV posse ???
If you are, be sure to deny memberships to both Boony & Snowy :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Christopher Columbus thought the world was flat too, once he discovered it wasn’t there was no holding him back and he saw it all and had a ball. Let Boony and Snowy continue thinking the world is flat :laugh:

Sorry OFBM I have had both and swapped my Andys after I had done everything he suggested to make them water proof and got the end of a days ride and my bags had water in them again :unsure: . Go water proof Pep and Andy’s aren’t I have had both and Wolfman are awesome given you don’t have to wrap you gear in extra bags etc to be water proof. Also PTW slid his bike down the road this year on his wolf man bags and I mean bitumen road and didn’t tear the bag at all. They attach more securely and don’t move around, my Andy’s that I liked until I used something better needed 3 straps each bag before I was happy with their attachment and they wouldn’t move. Adventure moto you will get a better deal being an old bull as well. Ring me if you want and I will organise you a deal with Steve.

ECKS this is awesome ! Just watched the video and she sounds like she is running smoother then most machines today.

Should start a new thread just for this project! i know im not the only one excited too see how the old dozer turns out!

Ok, will do that tomorrow when I have a computer. TB, can you maybe shuffle these posts into a new thread?

She runs really nicely, unbelievable really! This thing is getting on for 50 years old! Hopefully I can get some pics and video once it gets back to the workshop. Progress will stop for a while as the boys have to clear out some tanks (dams) near Lighting Ridge in the next week or so, but I will post what I can.

No worries ECKS, great project eh I have worked on a donkey start cable blade 6
