Looks like i got my extra fuel problem sorted,knocked up a small rack(of sorts!!) to hold a 5 litre can,it's a bit crappy but hopefully it will last the distance.Will still want to drop it of on route as it sits on the seat right behind the arse.Taller gearing works ok so road speed is up a little.
land access re confirmed ... it's all go ... fingers crossed for the weather
timg & anyone coming from the south ... meet you at the Harper Rd turn off 11:15-11:30 ... this is the Rd that heads up the north side of Lake Coleridge
anyone not starting the ride by dipping ya tyres in the sea ... the meeting point is the corner of Old Westcoast Rd & Hiway 73 @ 8:30 ... we are heading up Old Westcoast Rd
... you know it's a bit windy when you get passed by your own dust ...
As discussed Pete, I've printed off 5 A3 topography maps of the area that I'll bring along for those that are interested, shows a couple of other nearby trails if we get time for a bit of a play

If you're not living on the edge you're taking up to much room!
Life begins where your comfort zone ends!
It appears that I will now be accompanied by a learner rider, and I will be re-living my F650 days with a loaner Funduro. Cos said learner is a law abiding (70km/h)citizen, it would be better if we met you guys at Springfield, so as not to get left behind. What time do you reckon you will be there?






Anyone else see the irony in celebrating ANZAC day by doing a trail ride on German and Japanese machines?
