    Leave got the seal of approval, Leaving on the Thursday from Cronulla whenever i roll out of bed. There has been no booking of accommodation as i will be taking dirt naps in the gutter or caravan park..

    Sure can, Just wait till you have had a few and bust out the angle grinder 😆

    In my experience its anything made in Australia will require massaging to fit, After it fits
    there will be 4 other bits that wont.. requiring many sparks in garage

    Make sure you stop at all of the way out pubs, And look for English and Euro backpackers
    They’re working out there saving cash and all they get is the grey nomad crowd
    I managed to get free beer, food and accommodation ;) on more than one occasion

    Best ride is a tough one .. The Last one usually is it!

    Ive been steadily paying my dues last year, waking up in the swag/bunk/couch with a banging hangover with a bunch of new mates saying to myself “oh fuck not again!”

    After a quick txt to the boss the night before i stated id be cutting loose from work early.. Got called out on the way out of Brighton by a bloke on a Harley gesturing at the tank on the DR .. “fucked if i know what your saying but bit ittl do around 600ks” Brrrraaaaaaaaappppp, I’m unsure if dumping 20 litres of 2 stroke in it to get out of the driveway was a good idea at this stage, The highway out was mind numbingly boring.. Rolling road blocks in every lane. Answered a phone call from a workmate leaving nothing but the sound of 120kph thumper highway drone.

    Waking up on the couch on Saturday sucked.. Shirl was throwing plates around the kitchen and i decided to make maneuvers

    Shirl: Jeeeez you look rough

    Me: that’s how i roll

    After inhaling bacon eggs tomato toast in that order it was time to go..

    Set tire pressures with Wigsters gauge (Get a new one champ!), We set off to go do some skids.. Good flowing roads and trails

    Yep missed sign in whoops!

    I have it on good advice that the gravel on Taylors Arm road is pretty round..

    Kicking back on Saturday arvo with stale beer at Nambucca was relaxed with a steady stream of riders on the way signing in, wasting valuable bar staff!!!! then the kicker came in , 2 bikes on trailer.. Much later that evening i grabbed another tasty beverage to survey the damage only to return to find the lights off and the bar shut.. Dammit

    Day two started easy given the King Strucky wasn’t running the bar, After bartering with lulu for shit house AA batteries i managed to get out of the car park with a purple line to follow.. First two lasted an hour after that i just gave up and chased dust trails

    There were a few solid good fun trails blatting up to Jacobs ladder.. Switched on the gopro only to later find out the card was full and
    in the wrong mode.. Jacobs ladder was a riot PathLessRiden pulled point, i counted to 10… 5 and tipped it down the trail
    Up on the pegs crossed up chain slapping woooohooooooooos, Nearly got a pass in near the bottom but the gate got shut!

    RIDEADVFeb2014005.jpg

    Fueled up on a coke and a roll, Quality battery’s sourced and the finish was in sight.. The remainder of the trails and the little bit along the highway were a absolute blast the dr was getting run out bounced off the limiter, stomping on the brakes being a hoon good fun!

    Good to get it out of the system as the HWP was waiting at the bottom of a hill on the highway.

    More rocky fire trails with on coming traffic to keep up the excitement, Decided it was time to sit back and cruse to Brackenridge..
    Yeah i finally finished one, No drops several turn arounds Good times

    After a cheer and a handshake it was back on the road with Wigster, My phone died on the trails so no mp3’s for me!
    Back home with a 6pack in the panniers at 8:30

    Bring on the Vic High Country Ride!

    Hey Usi, what time you leaving?

    I’ll be leaving Rose Bay at about 3.

    Might see you on the Pacific Highway like last time, except I didn’t know you were an Old Bull then!

    Wigster

    No idea at this stage could be 12 could be 4.. Bikes packed and the boss has been given notice
