Beau, the blue one already has a certain Irishmans name on it...
|
|
|
If anyone wants to hook out for a trail/skills ride around Waneroo road on weekend, drop me a line. PS Kev that spot where I took the Pit-bike a while back is still accessible by 2wd.
Top-end rebuilds on 450 Honda's Not needed as they are suprisingly durable.
My Uncle owns the main Pub is Southern Cross, so may have to book it out for the Enduro.

Looks like I won't be riding tomorrow - got a nasty ear infection.
Colin - the way we are all going we may need go on bikes that look like the one in the gallery....

Guys having trouble seeing while riding - I found this add in the ADB mag - got on the web site and gave John a call.
http://www.goggleman.com.au/index.htm
I have just ordered a set of prescription adapters that fit under my goggles as I am always having problems with my glasses under my goggles. He can make them to fit any goggles and has heaps of different lens types.
$165.00 to see to what a bargain.
Tiger - any chance you could put a link up in the notice section - even use his logo he said was fine - and tell a short story about the goggle adapters.

You're set for Xmas Tige, no need to buy any alcohol as everybody owes you a beer.
I didn't do any damage did I?

The 690 Rallye is likely to be far less a handful than the 640. Much lower weight and balance, far better suspension ("it's so good it's cheating" said a friend that owns one), very exclusive, would look great parked next to the Luckie Explorer Elefant in the garage. An Aprillia rider that just finished the Tunisia Rallye said (after stating he really isn't a fan of KTMs) "there's only one bike for doing Rallyes and that's the 690 Rallye. They're the only bikes that had no problems." He went on to say that the Yamaha's were getting new engines every second day, the BMWs died, his Aprillia blew, the factory Kawasaki blew, etc.
Deets- the 690 Enduro is a very different bike to the 690 Rallye.

Beau - not sure if that's the quickest way to change the tyre, but damn he's doing a good job. I reckon he could change Col Mac's Mooses if he was to start using the hammer as well.
|
 |
H - Have you seen a 690 in action? NASTY Knobby roaster!! Check some You Tube Action from the Baja 500.
BIG temptation for me, Northcity are still trying to con me, but the 580 is enough for the odd chance i get to ride it...
|
 |
JB - $20K - way out of my league, I’m just a Muppet that rides bikes in the bush, why do you want to go to the 690, you’re only just getting over your injury, the 640 must be more than an hand full.........LOL.
Lookin forward to getting out soon.

Marty, Thanks for the advice,
Beau, I will call you tommorrow, should'nt be a prob
|
 |
Beau, this is the website I was telling you about where you can convert your GPS data straight to Google Earth or Maps without having to manually plot each waypoint. Just upload your track or route and select the output file type.

I will be in for the ride at nth Bannister, may have a spare spot on the ute will find out t,mora.

If anyone wants a few tips on how to change a tyre quickly - they can be seen in the gallrey.

Andrew - I live in Bassendean and I'm looking to car pool to North banister. Iv'e checked on the map - its about 60 k's out of Armadale. My ute is a bit of a jlopee so yours would be better. Give us a call at home 93783398 or mobile 041 7786 584

H - You're a cracker! No, the 640 is not a loaner! I have been offered a KTM 690 Rallye and would have to sell the 640, the 450, the camper and everything else I own. (Anyone looking for wife?? I might become single very soon! Ha ha).
You can hire a full support "Safari package" from GHR Honda for around $20k which includes a 450 Honda (I don't know how many top end rebuilds you get with that), full service, etc.
My 640 plus entry would cost you about the same in full Safari spec. (I haven't added it up properly yet but it will be getting close to owing me that without the entry). Safari is not the cheapest sport in the world.
Keep an eye out for a new event, possibly in 2009, tentatively called the "Yilgarn Rallye". This will be a two day navigation rally made specifically for enduro type bikes with maximum 100km fuel distances. Total distance 800 - 1000 km's. Based out of Southern Cross. I'll keep you all informed as I'm on the management team. There'll be a web site set up at some stage. (Anyone keen to get involved in establishing, hosting and maintaining a site for us?)

Andrew its 1 hr past Armadale if you drive slow like me :) The Servo stands out like the balls on a dog :) You will have no problems seeing it.

Wradrian yeah the dunes were really hard in spots as the pic suggests was an awesome playground to muck around as long as you didnt get to carried away LOL!!! this ofcourse was my smallest jump!!!!!!:)
|
 |
Wilddaz the dunes look good in the pic after the rain.
I reckon the blue bike in the air gives choko a run!!
|
|
|
Wilddazz, will do your intro pic when I get home.
Andrew, name changed on video.
There is a new link on the left for an events page. It don't work at the moment. I'm in the process of sorting it out.
|
|
|
Hey, can anyone give me the distance and travel time from Perth City centre to North bannister, and is it easy to find servo, guess its a small place. Anyone interested in car pooling, I am in near corner of Morely and Wanneroo Road, Nollamara
Pounce can you change the name on the helmet cam footage just in case they work out its me. hee hee
|
|
|
JB – Are you into loaning bikes out now? What’s the deal with the 640? Not sure if I would be comfortable with the extra cubes and weight on the 640 but can you give me a call on the mobile.
H
|
|

If it's the Oregon Scientific ATC 2K helmet camera, I can probably do you a great deal on these via Newlite. They advertise them in ADB magazines and I sell their BikeHaulers for them over here in Perth. They did offer to supply them to me for sale here so I can probably get them at a good price. They gave me one to trial and I have played with it a bit. Hoping to use it on the Australasian Safari in August.
BTW - anyone interested in a fully set up KTM 640 Adventure for the Safari? Too many "special" extras to list.

Tony - getting a new tyre on Friday - so with good grip & a clear run Team blue shall builed up the numbers on the top!! next time we do the powerlines (or as we call it now the "Pounceline") we shall fix it!!

David M - Pounce and myself have the same helicam - I don't know how much is coasts - my wife got it for my 40th. If you give me a call I can let ya have a chat with her.

Brian - The beds in the dorms are fine - just take a sleeping bag however after bed time guys keep walking in to all hours pretty pissed and waking you up and of course there is the snoring.
you will find the Crusty's camp - look for the rear window stickers!!! We will try to get a big spot so we can all camp together and yes there is usually a bloody big fire to sit around. I'm getting excited already.
|
|
|
Will there be a big fire?? and a main area to sit round and have a chat n stuff??
|
 |
I'll be at the Rally for the training day on the Sat. They provide a 'bed' included in the price.
What do you guys who have been down there suggest, their 'bed' or bring my own tent.
Will Crustys have some sort of display/signage...
Is there a particular area that Crustys will be using for their tents?
Cheers

Andrew and Beau, some really good footage of the hillclimb attemps and really enjoyed the giggles when you stacked it, but what really peeved me was the number of blue bikes lying around like scrap that could not make it.....common boys, I believe we need to make a concerted effort to put the record straight, what do you say!!!!
