Finally the photos take King Crash took using my camera in his role as offical photographer

We had a breakdown with the cornerman system at the 2nd turn :ohmy: Jesus you would have thought after all the carry on from Mal5.1 and myself leading up to it well whatever. Here is another chat to the group less then 4kms in :laugh:

We stopped for a group shot at a small cliff edge cutting thing but the group was to big and the fog to thick

One of the singles we travelled Tryhard and Gavp maybe?

The sweeps and official photographers

Me handing out the prizes, this one was the most crash fit Old Bull that being Bollocks

STM taking his judging of the camelbacks very seriously :laugh:

Mal 5.1 doing, umm, being, well Mal umm I got nothing :huh:

Plenty of these got consumed, who is this the grin gives it away eh Moose :laugh:

More to come

Yes it will Nick because of the valving. Inside oil is being pushed through the holes that make up the valve body it goes through the holes easy when its slow moving with very little resistance because of the slow movement of the oil. When you have a big hit the oil is then trying to be forced through the same holes in a hurry and wont all go through at once, thus its slower to go through thus slowing the bars. Hope that makes sense tried to keep it simple.

At Finke I saw them draining the 2.5 weight oil out and putting 50 and 90 weight :ohmy:

Is this commen and do you get used to it?

Sounds as though you have it adjusted to tight, maybe start on a easier setting and work your way up if you need later

STAND UP, FISTS OUT – THIS IS THE REAL THING!
STAND UP, FISTS OUT – I WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!

Baby I’m bad, I’m the fear in your eyes.
That hate in your heart has been branded with my name

You oughta been warned
Not to cross the tracks to my side of town
Dark clouds will follow
GOD MAKE ME PAY LIKE THE DEVIL I AM

It’s been ten long years since the devil laid his fiddle at Johnny’s feet

And it burned inside his mind the way he suffered that defeat
In the darkest pits of hell the devil hatched an evil plan
To tempt the fiddle player for he’s just a mortal man
“The sin of pride,” the devil cried is what will do you in
“I thought we had this settled, I’m the best there’s ever been.”

Johnny did you ever know that time keeps marching on
The coldest hour is the one comes just before the dawn
The devil’s back in Georgia will you stand up to the test
Or will you let the devil be the best?

“In truth I haven’t played much since the baby came in June
But give me half a minute an’ I’ll get this fiddle back in tune”

The devil grabbed the golden fiddle out of Johnny’s hand and said
“Though I’m the fiddle player underground and I walk upon the land”

“Y’all just better be just turnin’ back if you want this boy to win
‘Cos practice is the only cure for the predicament he’s in”

“Now devil it would be a sin for you to get my bow
You go on back to hell and to the wood shed I will go”

Johnny are you practising or will your hands grow cold?
The devil walks the land and plays a fiddle made of gold
Can you hear the babe a crying, will he ever know
The devil wants his daddy’s very soul?

Yes it will STM thats a fact wouldn’t have a bike without them But I dont have one yet and teh Tenere is only 90% I need to spend a day in Sydney looking at options and a counter lunch with Mal5.1 to finalise all options

TB

[GregMember]

Hey Kat you should be talking the big guy (you other half) into a set as well, or a good partner would buy him a set :laugh:

TB

[GregMember]

Yeah thanks XRtrailhack I have heard similar

TB

[GregMember]

Jeffro’s right we weren’t sure on the gates status when we did the ride out that way and if we got to it and couldn’t get through fuel range would have been a problem for some bikes on that day so with so many bikes we didn’t chance it. (Truth being told I should I backed the fact that I have used it many times and know its a gazetted road and not listened to the hippie that had never used the road but thought he heard or knew :laugh: ). As I explained at the time it is a gazetted road. It is open, you can go through, Chicken rode to Louee for the Christmas party through it and I sent some mate through there last month.

Hey Guys I have some OBT stickers here for you we need to arrange to meet

TB

[GregMember]

Yeah I have read that XY, I am wanting to order the bike with Crash Bars, soft bag racks, centre stand, bark busters with larger hand guards, extended screen and bar raisers.

When I get home with it I am hoping to fit a single Barrett exhaust with a fake one on the other side for a water container inside. Whipps for a bash plate and some other aluminum bits I want to design

Maybe just maybe some grip heaters :laugh:

Acerbis front high guard

Decent tyres

And of the Tekniks to have it sorted from the go get

Hey TB would you have the 2009 june/july trailzone?

was flicking through it at the doc’s today, they had a set up 08/09 XTZ 660 R ( ??? i think) was set up by some Kiwi tune mob, not get to read the whole thing, but looked good.

pretty sure it was an XT 660 R. after searching.

here is a brand new 08 XT 660 R, at Bikebiz Parramatta

Hey XY that XT is so gay I would be better with a DR400 (sorry all DR owners expect Boony )

I think the Guys on Sunnyholt Rd at Blacktown are the ones my brother uses and he buys a couple of bikes a year. I think they are called Team Moto now but they were called Frettens back when I lived in the Druitt. He raves on about the deals he gets through them.

Cheers Fez will look them up

I have been buying most of my spare parts etc from them for years. I have no complaints with the service that I receive from them.

If your not picky about year models etc you will probably be able to pick up a run out model for a good price from nearly any Yamaha dealer.

Yeah Dan I have thought about them and will give them a go probably. I have been there with you enough times :laugh:
