    Haha. Nice photos Murph.

    The 500 was tired? Did you break a strap on the way out? You must have been speeding ;)

    The photo of Dude is awesome.

    It was a good ride. 100km.

    Nice photos Murph. Thanks for putting them up for us.

    It rained hard all day. Goggles lasted 2kms 👿

    I just looked at my GPS. We road 70km, with 2005m up and 2005m down. It was a tough one. :whistle:

    There where plenty more big hills and action but even Tim was having some trouble so no time for photos. It was good to see him working up a sweat and getting stuck for once :laugh:

    I had to jump off my bike going down one big clay hill and it went head on into a tree 👿 no damage this time :pinch: :whistle: lucky.

    Riding in the wet is awesome but very cold when you stop :(

    We finished the ride up with some Subway and then beers at the pub :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Next time Murph will make sure it’s on a weekend off for you.

    Looking forward to seeing them photos Murph. Did Tim get the one with my bike 3/4 under water? Airbox and back wheel was only in view :S I was lucky it still goes :woohoo: :whistle: Maybe we should leave the creek tracks alown when its flogging down :pinch: water, rocks and moss =zero traction and great fun.

    Hey Thrillseeker
    Those filters come up a treat.
    Do you use turps or some other cleaning fluid???

    Your old clutch has seen some abuse
    Never seen them delaminate like that. ;)
    Like ya said it will be getting more abuse next weekend. :woohoo:
    Cheers
    Murph
    P.S. May see ya up at Tuff Trucks, Saturday

    Hey Murph,

    I clean my filters with a Pro Clean Filter Kit i brought of Lefty. Works awesome and is easy. You just need good gloves as it eats away at them fast.

    The new clutch kit said it will last 300% longer than stock :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: will see about that.

    I wonder how many are still in or have been destroy in the gearbox :whistle:

    New clutch is in. Filed the basket and checked for wear and run out. All was ok luckily.

    Ready for the Southen end ride next weekend. May have to test it out before hand as it will be put to the test down there.

    Will give the bike a wash after riding the 12hr last weekend and putting it through a Murph ride on Saturday.

    My airfilters after the 12hr

    Never ever seen my airfilters this bad before.

    + it’s new clutch time after killing it on one of Murphs hills :blush: Can’t complain as it had hell for 280hrs. Hope the bike see’s this clutch out. Should do it’s a Honda ;)

    Thanks for the top ride Saturday guys. It was tough backing up from the Transmoto 12hr the weekend before as l was still getting over the afterparty we had Sunday night :silly:

    All of the singles out to Amazon were good as always and went well for everyone.

    Amazon stage 0.5 (Normally a warm up hill) gave me a LITTLE trouble 👿 but I got there in the end and got me going :blush: . (Tim and Murph smashed it no worries) B) and the other boys found a track around it which l will be taking next time. :)
    Stage 1 – Not the best run l have ever had, but got up alright.
    Stage 2 – No worries this time.
    Stage 3 – Also, no worries this time but that only ever happens 1/100 attempts. I think Tim rode it 3 times just for fun and Murph and Mick got up no worries. Justo and Gavb had some trouble but had a good time nonetheless. Amazon always brings a smile to everyones face.

    The next hill that has no name YET was tough, real TOUGH :( It took 2 attempts and plenty of stop starts to get up, but I got there in the end. I think l finished my clutch off on it as it didn’t feel so good after that and will pull it out this week to replace it. 280hrs, can’t complain!

    Razorback is one hard track. The toughest hill we do in my mind and it’s always at the end of a long day. I backed out of my first run at the big rock face and dropped my bike (thanks for not putting up the photos of that) and the second run l got up ok, thank you God. Also just got up the next part of that track ok… just! It’s always good to finish that hill as that’s the end of the hard stuff.

    Thanks for the top ride again guys.

    Bring on the next one. :pinch:
