Mate, that's a good ride report! Now...just to find out who that talentless rider was who borrowed my AT for the weekend...

'talentless' is a bit harsh

it takes talent to crash that spectacularly and walk (limp?) away.....

I suspect your guardian angel will be applying for stress leave sometime soon

thanks again for an awesome weekend

ha, yep certainly had someone on my side on Saturday. Now off to Mitre 10 Mega to find me some ABS tools to melt down...

Thanks to you too mate for helping out. Always a pleasure to have people experience a place like that, frustration, fatigue, excitement, ups and downs, all smashed into a single weekend!

Melted down horses & KLR's make the best glue apparantly

more teasing for now (downloading photos is taking a while!). Great weekend riding, plenty of thrills, spills, big AT spills, broken KLR's, stunning sights, secret army training camps sun burnt faces, dust, mud, clay, steep bits, rutty bits, gravelly bits, all in all, an action packed weekend of adv riding....thanks Matt for all your hard work organising another first class event...your a ledgend

Photos will follow....

awesome weekend thanks Matt and thank you to wife and kids for letting dad come and play

my son says it would be higher quality if you left out the klr's

I live amongst orange philistines...



Having fun in the clouds on Friday...

horses & KLR's

I am glad you have spotted the majestic way these two go together; although horses used in the same context as KLRs usually involve
"the KLR has limitless horses" or "the abundance of horses on the KLR" or the other way (ie the similarities between the two) usually horses are referred to thoroughbreds - so apart from the semantics ......................carry on

sounds like a great weekend BTW

Great ride, thanks for organising the routes, accomodation, and us, Matt.
Had some awesome fun up there at the top, prentending to be a Dakar ace!
Thanks as well to marks for leading us up a cool ride on friday, and Shane for the company, and getting a bit lost on the way home!

Can you tell I was enjoying it in the photo!

The next one that Bart took clearly shows a design fault in the DR650 - the suspension travel is at least 50mm longer than the ground clearance... Harsh landing!

[Underground]

Just got home, only ended up clocking 1300km for the weekend but it is right up there on the fun per km scale thats for sure.
Rained for the last 50 odd km home which actually made a quite pleasant finale, bike's covered in mud now.
Thanks for sorting those photos for me Steve, saved me a lot of trouble
