DB1K - Dusty Butt 1000 2013

[Woodman]

norfies, not to worry you wernt the only only one, & it's bound to happen again unless you decide to go through a puddle to see how deep it is

Will you ever let this go?

Not while he's still alive

What do you think of a Shinko E-704

Decent tyres. More mud grip than the 705 but wears more quickly.

So just thinking about tenting...
Around Fairlie was considering Lake Opuha (15km out of town near Ashwick Flat) as have camped there before.
Just past Alexandra, anyone know if you can camp at Butchers Dam about 6km from Alexandra on the route. I'm sure I've seen tents and campers there before but maybe it was just campervans and they were there for the walks.

Guess it's either those or pay for potentially noisier/crowded camp ground sites in the towns... with a few facilitys. But if I'm going to be uncomfortably in a tent I may as well do it super cheap.

selfcontained only from memory TA, but your more than welcome to camp here with us, or there is a place between Clyde & Alex, tent for $5 per night & that includes a shower

Work has just informed me that I will be deployed overseas in January. Hopefully Ryan and Josh will be able to free up my place for another rider. I had motel accommodation booked for Fairlie (sharing with Casualty) so if anyone wants to take this over, drop me a PM.

Gutted.

Geez you gotta be quick to get the beds in Fairlie!! I am pitching the tent at the Fairlie Top 10 on Friday till Sunday, they have a pay for 2 get the third night free. Can handle tenting Friday and Sunday, its Alex where I find a hot shower and good bed is very welcome!!

Means I can travel light for the duration of Dusty Butt also. Had too much gear on last year......not that I had to pick the bike up very often

Sorry to hear, I'd be interested on taking the riding spot but I guess I'm not first in the queue

[Transalper]

I decided to suck up the financial burden and have offered to take the motel spot, I already know casualty so... waiting to hear a confirmation on that.

[pete-blen]

I have a double motel room booked at Fairlie for the fri 18th & sun 20th at the Mackenzie Motel...
Anyones welcome to the spare bed...

For those watching this thread, I do have a "reserves" list running and am allocating spots first come first served. Alex's spot has been already given to a fella from across the ditch. I think I might need to have another think about the first come first served. Maybe there should be some exceptions i.e. excluding Ausi's and north islanders who immediately go to the bottom of the list, the bigger the bribe the higher up the list etc etc LOL

Gidday Pampa - check your email. #5 on the list sorry.
