Title: Desert Report Lite Post by: Tim Dykes on July 14, 2011, 08,16:03 AM Rainbow Friday night, some should drink less before a ride...
15 on bikes Saturday morning 12 on bikes at Pinnaroo, Alex and Tim only rode with us till lunch and found another way back to their car. 230 km for Saturday, several showers just to keep us cool, into Pinnaroo about 4pm. Pub in Pinnaroo was okay... 407 km for the weekend, back at cars at 3pm, backup car back at 3:30. Thanks to those who participated and all your relaxed attitudes. Peter, Matt and Darren, welcome to the club it was great to have you all along. Thanks to "The Desert Dugong" for covering the tail for the weekend. 11 on bikes back at the cars, 11 X 407km = 4477km 100% of Husqvarnas completed the weekend...

And too Big Al for carting our stuff and feeding us. Thanks to all involved Al

Thanks to everyone for trying to get me running again. Next time I'll be better prepared. :)
Title: Re: Desert Report Lite Post by: dgsh on July 17, 2011, 11,42:31 AM Thanks for the welcome Tim, I'm sure Pete & Matt will agree that we couldn't have asked for a better first ride with AMTRA. Already trying to work out how I can pack enough fuel onto my bike to take it next year instead of Dad's loud DRZ so I can run with the other 2-strokes.
Got the dent straightened out yet Nath? Title: Re: Desert Report Lite Post by: David Smith on July 17, 2011, 12,27:44 PM We only used 13L for the first 70km :-\ The rest of the time was ok its just the deep sand that was the problem. You sure got that drz moving id hate to see you on something a bit more nimble, id never keep up.. Title: Re: Desert Report Lite Post by: dgsh on July 18, 2011, 12,54:17 AM Yeah Dave, it was good fun riding with you and Nathan, would have started to get a bit risky to push the DRZ any harder though. I find that I'm just not fit enough to ride my bike fast all day, where as the DRZ doesn't tire me out so much. Great fun though - really enjoyed the ride. Especially when everyone was so relaxed and friendly. Tim, Denis and Al make a great team.
Would like to give that first section of deep sand a go on my regular bike, lighter 2 stroke, steering damper, stiffer suspension, hmmm. (Probably end up getting spat off...) Soo, AMRTA Simpson trip??? hahaha Oh yeah, a couple of vids, one from Pete: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=249532055058255 And Matt's off on day 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzOr3NlX7Ic Title: Re: Desert Report Lite Post by: nathanstott on July 18, 2011, 03,16:50 AM Thanks for the welcome Tim, I'm sure Pete & Matt will agree that we couldn't have asked for a better first ride with AMTRA.

Hey mate, haven't got the rim straightened yet, still tossing up wether to just buy a new rim or get the dint fixed, probably would have been better to not hit a mallee root at 93kmh in the first place!Got the dent straightened out yet Nath? Matt's wipeout was a good one!
