Any action planed for tomorrow ? If nothing else going on then I'll prolly go for some more 'Ele testing' around the peninsula. Maybe catch up with some of those tracks from the Sept ride some of ya did...

Just spent the day getting the WR ready for DB1K, fitted new back tyre, bought and fitted fire extinguisher and spare tube on front guard, bought and fitted 5 litre petrol can on the back, checked bum bag tools. I think I'm ready. What have i forgotten ?

Cheers for the company today Flash and Greg (handle?), plenty amusing, shame the Old Le Bons Track didn't work out for the big bikes today - perhaps a rematch on the 450s might be in order some time soon ? Thanks too for the encouragement at Birdlings Flat I probably wouldn't have re ridden that shingle section again without your encouragement and getting the Ele to 'float' was one of the highlights of the day!

I've now put 500km on the re-incarnated Elefant and I'm pretty happy with how it runs, I'm still on the first draft fuel map on a home built ECU but I can't fault it to ride. But will check it on a dyno soon to get it really dialed. Got to get some luggage on it now and get the GPS mount finalized and I think we not far off ready...

See you all (or most of you) in 12 sleeps!

that was heap's of fun getting the XT airborne was neat, but when you rode it across you got more air (it flies higher than the elefant) in your hands. Greg said that would've been a great photo. I'm keen to do the Old Le bons track on the 450's, we might get all the way up next time
12 sleeps....... can't wait
