Oh, you must mean this photo?

I shall repay the favour someday

Anyone keen for a stroll up Odlins Rd this afternoon???
prolly get up there 1-1.30 (will confirm a bit later)

If I get company I'd like to explore the new bit Shane found the other day which means its generally suitable for smaller knobby equipped bikes

Hey didnt get message till it was to late

no problem

I waited till 2 then (sobbing quietly) headed off up to Odlins Rd
The river beyond the hut is quite a bit higher and I wasn't game enough to try and cross it by myself

some of the puddles that we splashed through the other day have turned into BIG MFER PUDDLES that scare to poos out of you when you hit them too fast

catch you next time

You guys look like you're having way too much fun. How would the DR650 go in there with Trail Wings on? Not too flash by the look of it.

The first time I took my DR in there with Trailwings on resulted in the "summersault incident"!

Hmmm. Best I go buy a new knobbly.

I had plenty of spare tyres, but of course the DRZ400 and DR650 have a different size back wheel, so now I'm starting again. You'd think they'd make the parts interchangable between both bikes, but almost everything is different.

Well you're way more skilled than me mate so you'd probably be fine; Gav has been in there on Trailwings on his DR no problem but all I know is a pair of D606's on my DR made a hell of a difference to me, being not that experienced offroad!

And YES Suzi have a bloody cheek not makin the DRZ400 & DR650 with at least some basic stuff interchangeable... like rear wheel size for a start! Idiots!

There are a few places that you would need to use momentum due to the lack of traction but otherwise you'd have no problems - its even fine after rain as its stony and drains well

come down and we'll take you for a guided tour
