yeah, I should of made up some extravagant rural fuel delivery service charge.

Well done on finding the fuel exchanger device (empty bottle).
I've also been known to pick up broken FXR150s (I think it was) off Dyers Pass in my van, but last one was several years ago now.

I believe there is a group leaving 10ish on Staurday from PlainsMC. I was looking to go up early Sunday but have now changed my plans to ride up sometime Saturday afternoon.

Yep was a good ride alright, especially enjoyed having to catch my radar defector half way up the the hill on the way back when it decided to part company with the rest of the bike

and wondering why I forgot to fit my clear visor that morning - helps to see where you are going occasionally, and those darn fat suicidal lake flies didn't help there. Aside from all that it was great

Glad to hear that the Ambo was not for any of the KBers.

well I gave him a head start leaving little river and caught him on the hill, when he got to Duvauchelle I said to him "hey andrew, next time you're going so slow that I have to over take you, can you please move to the left?"

Dave!!

nice one!!

I was riding very very quietly at that point while I got my head around the fact that Id done 185kms & not 85kms on my tank of gas!!

Wee chat with Transalper at Little River bout fuel range with our big tanks & I was sweeet

JMemonic....yeah I seem destined to having those words ringing in my ears

Managed to change the back brakes yesterday.... not a real biggy but doing it one handed was interesting.
I did use my 13year to help a wee bit...
So had to test the brakes, not entirely comfortable but it was still a blast.
Getting this plaster cast off next week wohoo

Only downer is a fibre cast will be going on instead!!
