Two and a half years and this has been the first problem, hardly ranks as a shitbox :S
The throttle cable was zip tied to the kill switch wires which had been tangled around a triple clamp bolt ,there fore pulling it tight when the handle bars were turned causing the bike to be hard to start and when it did start, rev up when the bars are turned. Hardly a major problem.??? OK OK whats with the defence of salesman used bike salesman ??? Besides which the kill switch wire zip tied to the throttle cable pulled the carby forward and the boot of the air filter so the engine was getting unfiltered air for how long :huh: :ohmy: “Hardly a major problem” :S that would be a major problem if it was my bike being dusted :angry: :laugh: :laugh:
Back to the 30th and 31st??

-î-î-TB can we find out if we can have a touch and feel session :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
of the bags… you sickos!!!
I would like a close up of the giant loop bags.. That mojave looks slick but only 10.5 liters.. Coyote probably the go though..
The rider in that photo doesn’t look very comfy… :huh:
Cheers…
Chris………..That mojave 10.5L will do fine mate when you consider you can strap your tent or sleeping bag across the top and you wear a decent size camelback and your tools in your bumbag. I reckon it will shit it in, plus its half the price and the extra weight on the back
And come on tell Nickj and let him of the hook :laugh:

For Krusty, Moose (as they asked) and anyone else going here are the sort of loops for the rear of the bike. Remember we need to carry our daily tools, spares, and gear for an emergency overnighter
These range from $500 odd to around $290 I think but Mal will be able to clear that up
I will speak with Mal and Sutto to organise a deal for us to get a bulk buy deal for our tyres, loops or any gear for the ride. (maybe even better then normal :laugh: ) I will give them a user name list
Between Moose and Lotsa we will be able to get it all delivered Stay posted
As asked elsewhere a few details of the trip. We will one way or another have a support vehicle on the trip which changes the whole trip as we don’t need to shorten or lengthen days to make accommodation. Pep it seems is very interested in taking his four wheel drive with a celebrity chef would you believe
How would this work you ask, well each of us riding would pay $100 to have our gear (swag, bag, food and drink) carried. At the start of each day we would arrange a meeting place for that afternoon at worst although I am sure we would be meeting for lunch or the sites each day somewhere.
We are arranging the hire of a satellite phone for safety / emergency use, I have UHF radios with ear pieces and push to talk setups for the lead and sweep rider. If we are travelling well ahead of the support vehicle we will be able to leave messages at roadhouses etc for the support vehicle if there are any changes. The support vehicle will also allow Krusty and anyone else going that wish to do an oil change the ability to choose where rather then at a fixed location. Every rider will also need to carry gear for an overnight stay track side un-supported, meaning sleeping gear and tucker.
We will meet at Condobolin on Sunday the 10th of Oct for pre ride drinks and may stay at a pub. Moose and I are riding out on the Sunday if we can get our gear out there with someone driving out. The route is the same to Silverton where we will be taking a different route to originally planned as it looks as though Boulder may have secured access to a massive section of country not normally open to the public.
Once at the corner it will be mainly work it out as we go sort of thing on the return trip as we can stay anywhere. (I would like to think it’s possible to go out and back to Innamincka maybe I haven’t really thought about it) The plan is to be back at Condobolin on Sunday the 17th. We have capped the numbers at 8/9 for the ease of management and the support vehicle being able to carry the swags/tents, couple of eskies, BBQ and the celebrity chefs utensils (and heaven forbid a broken bike
) If anyone is still interested please PM me for a reserve spot or something who knows :huh:
