Re: Thursday 30th Oct Mojo's Mundaring

A little quiet at Mojo's, a very small group was entertained by the young quendas zooming around. Lefty managed to snap a decent photo of one, which is easier said then done. After coffeee and chat, Bozo headed home as per usual, and Brian B/5 led Ralph, Lefty and 2volts (TEC) away on a ride to Goom...

Recommendation for speedo refurbish?

Any recommendations for someone to repair the wildly fluctuating speedo on my R100/7?

It is NOT a cable problem.

thanks

Re: Desert Raid 2025 - Shooters Shack: August 9

Desert Raid 2025 is run and done. I left Sawyers Valley on Thursday morning, taking a back roads route of about 300km of dirt through the Wheat Belt to Southern Cross for fuel and late lunch. Then north to Bullfinch and beyond. I camped about 65km west of Menzies. Bullfinch to Evanston is in general...

Re: Desert Raid 2025 - Shooters Shack - 9 Aug 2025

I know this doesn't help with info on road conditions, but as it happens, I rode past Balladonia Roadhouse yesterday and noticed that the entry to the Balladonia - Zanthus road was barricaded with drums, obviously there to discourage people from driving on it. For the well prepared off road motorcyc...

Re: Inspecting the Isopogons

Thanks to Bozo aka Zoro (on Sundays only) for leading the ride. After Wannamal I back tracked to Hay Plain Road (Udumung) and then a hot shot back to Bindoon down the highway for fuel. After a top up, it was back through Chittering Valley then Julimar to Toodyay, Salt Valley Road and a quick dirt sq...

Re: Thursday June 13 MOJOS MUNDARING

Interesting. I drove up to Mount Magnet on Thursday morning and stopped for a coffee about 8:45 am at Cafe of Note and thought it would be a good destination for a Thursday ride. I’m glad it turned out to be so. It was also extremely foggy on Thursday, I assume it had cleared by the time you were al...

Re: Thursday January 18 MOJOS MUNDARING

Mojo’s mightn’t be open. Power has been out in most of MUNDARING and other areas nearby since the storms on Tuesday afternoon.

Re: K Ride 25 October

Thanks to Dinga for leading and Mr Wightman for being tail end charlie. We went through places I've never been before, like Kwinana Beach, Rockingham and Safety Bay. So that was quite educational. Stopped at Fox Den cafe in Safety Bay for a coffee, then a regroup on Estuary Rd in Mandurah, refuel in...
