Shannon 9am Sunday

[Eddieb]

will post some photos on adv rider tonight (including some of me doing an "Eddie" in the mud)

This I gotta see.

I went in there with a friend on Saturday. Yes, it was hot. We only went as far as the top dam. There were some quads playing in the dust above the dam - how much further can you ride?

[marks]

how much further can you ride?

On a KLR?

not very far....

[red mermaid]

Haha, I remember that even if my bike didn't get that far!

All fixed now, thanks to Freedom Suzuki in Palmy.

A new casting for the footpeg bracket would have been $175. They had one sitting round the workshop for less than a third.

[Frodo]

Anyway the photos (couldn't get it to work from Picasa).


The ride in, pretty hot and dusty with a loose surface.


Then some nice cool bush.


The river comes into view.


Gerald scanning the river/lakebed from the upper dam, looking for bogged KLRs.


About to head back.

Great ride guys. Bit sore today after wrestling the DR up Whariti at warp speed.

OK, here's a few photos.

14. By this stage Mark was getting pissed off with me laughing and taking photos (hahaha, click, haha)
15. Not much traction with a Trailwing (haha, click)
16. Meanwhile, on the Veestrom, (man that thing sounded nice), something doesn't look right here. Where does your foot go?

Not often you get to see Mark stuck out in front of the camera
Relish Relish Relish

I of course wouldn't have laughed or taken photos .................

(not to mention that I owe Mark hundreds of pushes for all the time he's helped free the gs)

[red mermaid]

Thanks for the pics Bart.

Nothing wrong with riding over the dam, there was no sign saying you couldn't do it.

And the pic of the stuck KLR is going to my friend in OZ with the same model, with an appropriate comment.
