I too had a great time. Tb I will contact you regarding a few of the pics. On of the memorable things on the trip was 2 of the Suzuki riders bikes dnf’ed before lunch on day 1 & were keen to get another bike. I rang a mate in bourke to see what he could find. He located a old dt that may Or may not run. At bourke my mate took the boys to look at the shit heap. Not even worthy of being called a scrapper the headed back to the pub to meet the group when they stopped to ask a local copper if he knew anyone selling a bike & explained why. The cop offered him his brand new drz400 for the weekend . He didn’t even want his name . He just said to drop it off on his way Through . What a champion.


The mighty sr 250 once again never missed a beat. I can’t believe Yamaha never allowed the factory racers to use the machine for desert & enduro racing. The little beast was happy sitting on 100-110 all day long even in sand . My son Ryan’s tt250 was also bulletproof as was he . He started both myself & mat off & caught us when we stopped . On arriving at commeroo station I discovered the left side of the frame had snapped . I suppose because of the soft comfy seat & my lack of feeling in my ass I didn’t even notice it . Having a full 3 inches of travel you can imagine its smoothness . Thanks boys for putting on a great ride. I will defiantly be coming next year & Matt will have his own bike too.

Hi bulls I’m looking to go on a test ride for a few hrs on Saturday to zig zag to ride some fire trails . At the moment I only have Ryan to run wing man & test his scrapper. Anyone want to join us ?

New chain & sprockets went on during the week. I’m leaving the legs off they are too unreliable especially in the dirt.

I pulled the old sr out today & fired up first touch of the button. Heading for a short test ride tomorrow but should be all good. I’m looking at going for a decent ride next weekend just to be sure . This year I only have my son with me so I will be looking for a second wing man if possible. Any volunteers
Cheers Andrew

Hi tb . Do you have a route organised yet ? I am pulling the sr out again & Ryan will be on the tt. Per tells me there will be some heavy sand sections would that be right ? I may need to give it a test run in sand first to see how she handles or maybe bring the wr as a plan b. adam isn’t coming this year so I will be looking for a second wing man. Any volunteers would be welcome
Cheers andrew

I just filled in my profile. How do you add a photo?
Tb ride was ausum the boys are already looking at next years ride . Whilst washing the old sr & looking at it with loving eyes it surprised me how well it held together it didn’t have 1 loose bolt. But then jumping on my wr it hit home how gutless it is
