    did you get snow up your nuts when you gave me a shove nordie
    Next time im going to try warewolf's suggestion of wrapping rope around the rim (worked for me on a truck) bugger the small bike idea , thats too easy.
    Must get our communications worked out a bit better next time , because it was raining I didnt get my phone out till I got home to recieve buggs's message and he got home around the same time as me so it was fairly irrelevant at that stage , but good to know that they had managed to 'knock the bastard off'

    Zerax and I both agreed radios are a good idea. Either between two riders or lead rider to tail charlie. There were several times when we would backtrack to find the other guy but it would just be a matter of him hauling his bike upright or straightening levers etc.

    Knobblie tyres also.

    Spare clutch / brake levers unless you have full bar protectors.

    Heaps of gas. Kyle ran out and the @ burnt through about 20L from Blenheim to the top and back. A lot of wheelspinning and revving for not a lot of distance.
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    That 650 @ sounds wicked.

    You should really put some proper tyres on it though.
