Just cause I took it for a final test ride and carb is now overflowing, cleaned it out several times, nogo. Changed back to stock carb and that made it run like shit so put the 40mm back on.

Seems to only leak when engine off after a test ride and then only slow. So will hope it's just a matter of shutting off fuel valves when engine off. Pray for me.........FUCK!

Might have to do a fishing charter out of Piction.........

The sign that says "private property" only applies once you leave the road AFAIK, remember to close the 2 gates and don't rark it up going past the farm house, and it should be good

You fullahs doin the D.B. .....

Have a good ride, and try not to break anything important

Damn....I'm almost tempted to sprint down on Friday night, give it a nudge and be home in time for work monday morn

Hi there Markl - it'll be a pleasure to hook up with you again - I'm relying solely on my new little Garmin eTrex 20 - roll sheet holder buggered up - so I'm just keen to enjoy the ride - see you at Fairlie inshallah

HI - GPS MAN and I sail on the 8am Bluebridge in the morning - may see some of you en route - 'night all

Looks like everyone should have received this by email but I thought I'd put up this little bit of it here reminding everyone they do have to attend the briefing and sign stuff among other things.

Riders Briefing

A riders briefing will be held at the Gladstone at 7pm. This is to provide the combination for the lock for the gate at Benmore Dam and other useful information. All riders need to attend this briefing.

Sign in

As mentioned on the registration webpage all riders need to sign the ride disclaimer. Most of you have registration packs to collect, however even those who have not purchased a T-shirt, sticker or BBQ need to come to the sign in desk and sign the disclaimer.
