    had only 2.5 litres left in it after the rainbow rd... maybe the consistant 150kph had something to do with that...

    on the plus side, round the bobs fern loop and leaks seem to have stopped... for now

    I wouldn't take my KLR around it myself - it's the long momentum gathering downhills that would scare the crap out of me, & the off camber bits. Uphills wouldn't be a problem - I reckon they climb as well as a small bike.

    Yeah judging only by the bits i've ridden on the laid back I reckon you'd smoke a few lil sideway cap wearing, jeans down to their ankles mx wannabes

    Sounds like a plan Where is it again ?
    Also.... Daylight savings is coming up, maybe time to re-instate weekday rideouts ? occasionly

    Due to the rain and my dvd collection looking a bit sad I re-watched Terra Circa then went down to the shed to chase 'lectrical gremlins around my 350
    dropped A's bike,tripped and skewered my hand on a piece of steel.
    God I luv rainy days

    Only just noticed you myself. Been doing an economy run in the car the last fortnight and was concentrating on driving economically. Finished today and got 800kms for 57 litres of fuel, which is about the same as the KLR riding hard but not nearly as much fun.

    Padmei loves this stuff.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    What size sprocket were you running? How many blumenthols did you clock up?

    Hey I think I'm turning into a DR rider cos I just downloaded Adeles album & strangely really like it...

    Do you think a 90s pink colour scheme will suit me now?

    I'm working on getting away on Sunday avo for a hardcore crossdressing ride all pissed up (or however WW says it) gotta do a bit more guilting before I can confirm if anyones keen. Gonna concentrate on
    1. Wheelies
    2. Going up hills
    3 Coming down hills
    4. Not coming off (yeah ok even I can't take myself seriously with that one)
    5. Riding & not stopping every 3 1/2 mins to talk about fuel consumption & tyre pressures
    6. Wheelies for real this time

    So you think you're kinda semi hard core-ish to tag along & watch how my strict 6hr training schedule ( & listening to Adele) has turned me into a clay slinging Gid

    Funny, was just saying to Mrs Woodman that I feel like a ride this weekend. Sunday arvo sounds marvellous, actually Sunday all day sounds good. Where you thinking?

    BTW , not doing the 6 hour, it would be madness on a road bike. Happy to be pit crew and tow vehicle tho.

    Hira or go all Erzberg and take the pruning saws up Mt Duppa?

    Drop into the top of the Lost Highway and work our way around to the exit at the other end. No clay really but a good test of standing endurance and rough ground bike handling skillz.
