I'm sorry i missed it. I'ts that sort of ride i live for (and many other sorts). l've been homeless since January and now that we have finaly settled on the new place l now have to convert a shed into a home before l can ride. New home is Helidon, so when set up l look forward to meeting some western members. Six k's of dirt road to the gate, unhappy face.
you missed a good one craig, but im missing out on easter at the pen as were moving the business then and im bummed about that, ill get there one day ... need to catch up sometime soon, when youve made the shed your home gis a yell ill come out and whittle a stick with you but ill speak to you before hand about Moss Street
Craig you missed out on hoot,found some good new roads and some will give a miss (-40ks of dirt).
I swear my arms are longer, Hefty"s fault !
There's already another ride planed Craig, will have to catch up soon when your settled.
Jed's out that way to Craig
Sounds like it would have been a blast, wish i could have made it, but the show here needs me too much......

Thanks mate, l'm currently working out there on weekends and staying at jimboomba till the sheds liveable, ie toilet, shower, so will be a few weeks before l'm settled.
Cheers.
Well another flawless Streetfighter overnighter/adventure (covers mouth coughs and laughs while saying bullshit) :rolleyes:
Wow what a weekend, numbers were low as expected as there were two other major rides on the same 2 days, plus toss in all the bad weather over the last few weeks.
With the first brakedown 5 minutes into the ride, it was time to "phone a friend". A special thanks for BEN at EXTREME CREATIONS who supplied the knowledge to us that a road side repair would be difficult with out a resistor, again thanks your a time saver. Six starters became five.
The rest of us pushed on to Lawrence Hotel for a fantastic lunch via the one and only Bonalbo road (it will be a while before we do that one again) hey Michael hehe.
A short stop at Raspberry Lookout on the Gwydir Highway to take in the serenity and already 2 1/2 hrs behind was nothing, the TL was getting faster and lighter which set a new pace (now with no front blinkers or fairing screws and other things that we didn't know of).
Glen Innes to Emmaville road was absolutely awesome ..... Emmaville to Ashford road CRAP .... 40ks of dirt with washouts, crossings, dusk quickly approaching, roos, dingos, bug smeared tinted visors, not to mention standard streetfighter h/light (my phone has a better light) Bloody google :mad:
Anyway with all the days comedy events it saw us get to the pub as they were shutting at 8pm, gee that beer was cold.
Plenty of pool was being played (with the lady publican flogging us all) and great tunes blasting out from the old juke box made for a top night.
Well all n all the ride was a top two days, 1042ks, saw plenty of backroads, had a heap of laughs, owed a pub for a night, lost a ZXR and the weather held out for us .... what more could you ask for !
Thanks to everyone that came along, we will do it all again soon ;)

Sounds like you had an interesting run.
I ended up heading back to Gunnedah from Lismore on Friday via Tenterfield > Inverell > Bingara, there are plenty of potholes to dodge on the Gwydir Hwy now hey, I went across that way, saw a few land slides and almost had a head on with a bus who was in my lane trying to avoid a fallen tree just downhill from the lookout.
Maybe next year ???
Craig - where abouts in Helidon are you?
Up Seventeen Mile rd. Good dirtbike country.Quote:
