    Mick you are a mechanic, you should know that a rectifier converts ac voltage to dc voltage and the headlight is working isn’t it I read

    Check your wiring, keep it simple and cheap first

    The blinkers weren’t working before the swap out according to Tripper.

    Can only diagnose to the information given Mick got a wiring diagram and I will sort it for you

    It was a funny sort of day for me as I was having to miss the ride and yet it was raining like 40 bastards, it would be fun, but the wear and tear on the bike, I love riding in the wet, but spending the day cold, big feet up front and rear slides, cleaning all the gear, none of that mattered because I couldn’t ride anyway. But did I really want to be close up with the action, yes was the answer I owed it to eagle to make sure he finished the ride ;) (On that subject I heard a whisper he gave up and Moto talked him round, didn’t see that inn your ride report beagle :P )

    I arrived up at my 2nd home about 1pm on Saturday arvo, we unloaded my Fiddy which needed some motard conversation finishing touches for Dan to use to ride with Kylie on her DR

    We had a few rums on Saturday night and Sunday morning dawned raining and shitty looking to tell the truth :blink:

    Moto and Wikdbemmer turned up and everyone got ready

    PB080015640x480.jpg

    I drove out to the starting point to say hi and ran Ross up to the servo to get some oil for him to limp home as his trusty DR had popped a countershaft seal and was pouring out, 1 down at the start

    Once they left I went back to the D’s and got the BBQ and stuff ready watched TV and generally ginned around till Novice turned up right on time. We loaded the remaining gear and set of up to Mt Sugarloaf. Once up there the fog was in and it was so quiet, ah the serenity

    PB080016640x480.jpg

    Ah the serenity

    PB080018640x480.jpg

    The serenity of it all

    PB080020640x480.jpg

    Still more serenity

    PB080017640x480.jpg

    OBT’s outside cook out location

    Master Chief’s kitchen

    PB080022640x480.jpg

    Drinks on ice

    PB080024640x480.jpg

    Then the serenity was shattered as the gorillas came out of the mist, Dan giving two thumbs up and Moto winding up to whine about the cold

    PB080025640x480.jpg
    PB080030640x480.jpg

    Kylie’s back spin was evident

    PB080026640x480.jpg

    She was a dirty dirty girl

    PB080027640x480.jpg

    And even though she couldn’t see she was still smiling

    PB080028640x480.jpg

    PB080029640x480.jpg

    And the laughs and stories started

    PB080032640x480.jpg

    It appeared that eagle must have had a scary moment and may shat himself

    PB080033640x480.jpg

    AB got out his fuel transfer pump looked the goods but turns out would nave made a better tow rope in the end hey AB (good thing those Katos stay tuned for more)

    PB080035640x480.jpg

    The camera caught the mist in this photo?? Group shot maybe this is where the thread title got its name

    After we packed up we returned to the D’s, unpacked and I had a hot shower, the V8 supercar race was starting and I sat down it was pouring outside how good was this. The phone rings Help Help can you come and pick up AB’s Kato, no spark. Out with the trailer connected and rescued the broken Kato

    Bike being loaded

    PB080037640x480.jpg

    AB getting a ride back with Dan as I wasn’t letting him in the car

    I delivered AB’s bike back to the start point and returned to the D’s for the after ride Bundy.

    I have to say a great job by everybody, they must have ridden well as there was no injuries in what must have been some of the slipperiest conditions within the amount of clay in the area that they rode

    Dan great ride well organised and run from what I saw, Novice the master chief cheers mate you are one of natures gentleman thanks

    We raised $105 after expenses for Movember thanks everyone

    Thanks for the accommodation Kylie, Dan, Taylah and Emma

    Why did it work until swapped to the other bike than stop, that doesn’t make sense.

    Guys guys guys again no helmets????????? :huh: :huh:

    You are joking fester, never ridden a pushy without a helmet ever mate or are you like the other clown and you are a do as I say and not as I do person, you telling me you have never broken the speed limit, never turned at a round about without using your blinker, always completely stop at a stop sign come on mate.

    Its called having a little fun sometimes, yeah he should of maybe had a helmet on (thats the law), but before anyone brings the “oh its a bad example for the kids” into it, read the about us tab up the top of the page OBT is a over 30’s web site its not for kids.

    We had another video of Dan riding my bike in motard trim (of course with a helmet) but he popped a little wheelie and sadly expecting this sort of response from someone we didn’t post it how sad is that

    If you feel offended by this response fester feel free to switch of your computer or look elsewhere cause it was a little fun is all
