We got into Alice Springs on Tuesday night after spending time at Ayres Rock and the Olgas.
Had a good trip with no issues
Went out on the track yesterday and clocked up around 80km.
Into the wind we are topping out around 149kph with a tail wind around 157kph and the bikes are just ticking over so we are pretty happy with that.
We had to make a few minor adjustments to our Steg Pegz and nip our spokes after the first run.
The track is alot rougher than how I remember it from two years ago, and I was getting pretty bad arm pump after about 5 minutes rode through it and all was good.
sb_250y and I were riding side by side doing about 80kph when we hit a real wooped out section, I saw out of the corner of my eye him pogo sticking it and then a big cloud of dust. He bit it pretty hard.
Today we will head out again and try to sort the suspension a bit.

some of it might test the yammy a bit but it should make it ,,Mmmmm dual purpose tyres on them trails :ohmy:

It has Dunlops 606’s front and rear Boony I know people here that fit them to DR’s (opps that doesnt say much for 606’s :blush: )

if you ride the cappucino loop , some of the tighter stuff needs a fair traction tyre,IE: knobby. thats all I was saying, I have no doubt the dunlop would be a good tyre for the rest of the ride.

Boony

It will be fine I appreciate your concern you would be surprised where these bigger bikes go :laugh:

Ok, fortunately for me travel plans have changed and I will be home early enough on Friday to get myself organised for this ride (I think :huh: ).

What time are you thinking of heading out on Saturday? I just need to decide if I ride up Friday night or Saturday morning.

I am confused (no surprise there) but mine are still after 4 years their orginal colour are you sure you cleaned them probably?? I dont know what else to say. Speaking of dusting last time I experienced any dusting was with a K&N filter and their brand filter oil
