    Saw the back end of an orange KTM thumper go past when I was up at a job 100m before the gravel starts.

    May be one of the reasons they renamed it to "The Fern Lodge".

    The Fern Lodge is the accommodation section, the pub is still the PA?

    Compared to a Jardine you can stick your whole arm up to clean carbon deposits out!

    If the Southern Coast ride is still on this weekend (I'm having visions of *that* shingle slip with a few wild rivers raging down it) I will have tyres with KNOBS, not tread, fitted.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    I see the new price is up to $9,100 - still far and away best value for money for a big traillie.

    Got to watch some of those file hosting places, if no one looks at your photos for a few months with some services they delete your photos. Then we go to the likes of ADV rider forum where everyone uses embedded pictures in their trip reports and the old reports all have photo bucket type icons saying how the picture is no longer available.
    Bugger, now I'll never know what the where ever or what ever it was looks/looked like.
    www.remotemoto.com - a serious site for serious ADV riders, the ultimate resource in the making.
    Check out my videos on Youtube including... the 2011 Dusty Butt 1K - Awakino Challenge and others.

    Ah I wondered what happened there. What's the best solution - a hosting place that you pay for?

    Nordie how do you embed photos in KB posts? Is it a secret? It ceertainly would make reading posts quicker.

    I went into flickr not expecting much but found I already had an account and it had photos from the 2007 DB1K in it.

    This little test is e-mailing a pic from my cellphone straight to flickr and it should update in that pic above automatically and show the last 5 pics.
    May not be useful but fun 'till it gets boring

    Just the same as for other sites.
    You need a host.
    I usually use my own one in the states where I pay $15 a month for 5Gb of storage.
