My place 1pm?

Lift the bikes over the ditches/rocks and do the forgotten highway on the way to Hori Bay?

You gotta have at least one heavy bike when you are lifting bikes over shit.

Such profanity, you wash your mouth out

I'll bring some rope and pulleys

**umopom** · 22nd May 2011, 10:34

and a couple of saws??

**JATZ** · 22nd May 2011, 19:04

Cheers fullahs for a pleasant afternoon. I only got one decent pic, a few half decent ones, and some reeeeally crapy ones

And some clasic video of someone acting the goat and falling over, but it would take to long to upload it so it'll not be made public

(you owe me Woodman

)

Good ride today boys. The saw was outstanding in its ability to clear a clean line for the bikes- well done Nordie- I'm gonna get one now.

Umopom if you pass on to Gaaarrrieee (Brommy accent) to search for oil consumption/ checking oil in Thumpertalk He'll find some interesting info. I'm not worried about mine so much now as I think I was checking it incorrectly. If he wants to monitor his, we can compare on the DRZ/KLX thread buried somewhere in here.

Getting 100kms before hitting fricking reserve is a bit on the nose tho

I might have to exercise a bit more self control on the throttle.

Cheers

I'd like to see video of someone particular acting the goat no matter how long it takes you to upload or how crappy it is.

**NordieBoy** · 22nd May 2011, 21:49

My vid is just over 14min long

No falling off at all. Nope not at all. Move along, no falling off here.

**Padmei** · 23rd May 2011, 07:57

We're just all style baby

Reminds me of the Dakar videos I watch on youtube.
I see you guys missed my navigational skills.Those slopes must have been pretty steep out Hori Bay.

You can see how well the KLR puts it power to the ground with lower revs compared to the lighter revier bikes

Good stuff Nordie

**NordieBoy** · 23rd May 2011, 08:34

Yeah, Jatz'z gearing was so high he was either stalling or spinning, and that's not ideal for a road tyre...

I got called an "utter bastard" or some such coming off the beach at Hori Bay

Wonder what that was about?

I know there's video of the "incident" but wonder if it'll ever be shown

The jetting on the TT is definitely not right, past 5,800rpm just doesn't work properly, considering max torque is about 6,000 and power about 7,000.

Tapped in top, tucked in going up the Whangamoas and Jatz passes me, standing up straight
