Damn near made it

Post by Intrepid Ken »

Ok so my previous few rides up Dale Road ended up with a few ....err.... problems :shock: - running out of fuel with Dean on one trip, the next trip Bill broke his leg and the next one after that Marco broke his wrist.

So today Coos, Mike, Tom, Toni and headed up to do a few miles around Dale Road. Slippery and dry. We clocked up about 140 km without a problem. The curse was broken!!!! :roll:

That was until Tom got back to the bitumen and then he declared that he had a flat. :x DAMN

I dont understand slippery and dry , should that be slippery and wet. Or dusty and dry.
Most problems can be solved with a suitable application of throttle!

Either way, how about a "nursery trail" for us neewbies wishing to grow our off road competence on a ride this Sunday?. Sort of a training day to "enjoy the great outdoors". ?? :?: :?:

If it's planned and posted, folk can come dressed appropriately, fuelled up and ready to rock.

Any takers?? :twisted:

Yes Bully, you are correct. Ignore the 'cuzzy/'bro (sweet as), he's not been for a ride lately and needs to get away from the flock for a while.. :lol:

Sounds like a good idea, how about it intrepid Ken? or anybody else for that matter. Just keep it simple, those GS 1200 bikes are expensive to repair. Also Dakar Rally is on at the moment always a bit of an inspiration for dirt riding in that one. Time to lift the dirt riding skills of the club members I think it would be a good idea.
See you on Sunday. I better leave Di at home just in case.

After having a chat with Davey, if you are interested, I'm heading out on Sunday after brekkie to do a loop around Mundaring.

Ashendon rd, Mt Dale, Old Dale rd, River rd and then up the hill to Tablelands rd, Surveyors and then find the way back to Mundaring Weir Hotel to wash the dust out.

All easy stuff, on a 1 - 10 scale, maybe a 3-4. My sidecar is still in with Vince otherwise I'd take that. All levels of riders welcome to follow me.
