    I've never been to a rally. The closest I would have come would have been sitting around the BBQ at the Speargrass Station shearing shed on the 2008 Dusty Butt.

    Too much travel for my liking.

    Do they have any in the middle of summer?

    Wouldn't think that the brass monkey would work in the middle of summer, Fran

    The nice warm monkey sleeping under the stars in a hammock rally?






    PS. My mind isn't dirty.

    That would've made a great intro to the photo, since our dirty minds don't have ESP.
    Cheers,

    Further to the "Wet NADS" ride, I've now got a pruning saw mounted up inside the left hand guard.

    Now to find somewhere to put the devices for rabbits and pigs...

    Jatz'z 350 isn't fast enough to catch either...

    That was just plain nasty

    Do you think we could lure any keen noobs into adv riding with the Nads with saws tied to our forks & foldable shovels at the rear?

    You didn't see the pig we were chasing down the Duckpond.
    Too hard to chase one handed whilst trying to get the camera out for a photo

    lost trail..

    Hi..
    All you Nelson bush whacker...
    Do you know where the track from the Nelson/St Arnaud Rd
    to the North bank road is....If its still there/usable..
    I only went though it once meany years when at school
    living in Wakefeild.. The guy across the road use to set bait lines in there.
    I went in a couple of times with him...
    Its that long ago (early 70s) i can't remember where to fined it...
    I do remember a wooden bridge with the remains of a shed or house
    near it...
    I could be wrong but I think it went in not to far passed the old foresty camp
    on the St Arnaud road behind spooners...
    I have used google earth.. theres seems to be a lot more forestry than I remember
    in the area I think its in...but over 40 years that could have changed...

    Any one know it ?

    Pete

    Lots of locked gates and forestry now.

    The best you'll get is up North Bank to the Branch and across the river there...

    I reckon I did it a few years back on my xl600. I remember it came out by (think) the old forestry camp. Problem was though that I wasn't on a road the whole time and I can't for the life of me where it started on Northbank road, if indeed it was northbank road.
    Have been thinking for a while to try reversing it (starting from the camp Nordie not doing it in reverse) and seeing where it comes out.

    Does this help??
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
