Liftoff in...

T -19hrs

Just a quick thought...
Am thinking of taping a small torch to the left lower side of my helmet to read the routesheet in the dark. Or it is possible that all the other headlights and hopefully bright moon may be enough.

TA is planning on taking his camera so hopefully between him, MF and RedKLR650's stills somebody can put together a decent show.

Hey guys

OK

I have a prize to offer those riders and pillions that are on the Dusty Butt 1000 run this weekend.

I want to see the photos of this weekends trip on this topic thread.
The photos must be posted by 6pm on Thursday 15th March

I will select 3 photos that I feel fits into any of the following themes of adventure riding;
Isolation
Friendship
New Zealand Beauty

I will then pass them by a panel of judges and they will decide who wins the prize.
The prize is a Huttons Sizzler BBQ (small portable charcoal)
The prize is only open to those participating in the Dusty Butt 1000km Challenge

Good luck & please pass this on to the other riders that wont have access to their PC's tonight

Cheers Scott

Hi Fran and the others,

As most of you know, circumstances here have precluded my participation in the event this year

( cooneyr, I need a wife to drive me up as you did :-)

No amount of excuses is going to stop the piss taking by those of you who are completing the event, but believe me, if it was down to willpower, I'd be there already

Keep the rubber on the ground, and hope to hear all the great stories soon

Cheers, Stu
