Rally 2016

[steptoe]

Oh dear what a morning, 
John had a flat tyre, 4 bikes didn't want to start,
Mine did after ages, I found out later after a detailed head scratching session, the fuel cap well drain pipe is blocked and with all the hrs of rain it filled up and filled the tank somewhat,
So our day consisted of a 70 klm ride and a 3 -- 4 hr workshop session dewatering the entire fuel system,

[Jonesy :-)]

Hey scarfey, in my book, no tyres are good in the rain, old ladies in bowling hats pass me in the rain.
glad it was only a low speed off, good pics, and thanks for your and everybody elses company over the weekend.

[SCARFEY]

A small OFF two K from home. Metzeler marathons aren't much chop in the wet. Badly bruised ego and a sore hip. Otherwise bounced nicely.  The rear spun upleaving a roundabout I should have guessed.



Others in attendance.

[SCARFEY]

Wicked trailer Steppers

[steptoe]

we,re here, 3 easy days ride with sleep ins to start,

for those that were here last yr but not this yr, we,re in the top rooms next to the kitchen which have just finished being refurbed, nice new and fresh

beautifull riding days with cool starts then warms up to comfrotable conditions till end of day

our little hiccup feels electrical, pulls hard in top up to 5200 then stops,
but when you,re getting 277klm out of the top part of the tank then 300 klm out of 22 litres 2 up with a trailer I,m not terribly worried

something to look at on sunday maybe

[Xsrunner]

Sound to me like exhaust noise That 6ltr per 100 is great I get 6.8ltr with a brick wall on the front LOL ,but it also keeps me warm and almost dry

Mr Steptoe mileage sounds great I think that is 16.66666 to the litre with the trailer
Does it feel like its missing or just sound like  txt me if we can pick up something you don't have.

[SCARFEY]

Is there a rally on somwhere........

[steptoe]

Second day on the road, the old girl is confusing me, pulling like train running 6 ltrs to 100 klm, 
My home made pipe isn't playing the game atm, our new flange faces are leaking so I ve had to Cobb and Co the headers back to my muffler,
Don't know wether the exhaust leak is making it sound like it's missing or it's breaking down at 5500 rpm under heavy load second, third gear, but fuel numbers say she's running sweet

[AussiXS11G]

safe and well, ensconced at the Golden Harvest, Moree - "Jewel of the Newell" apparently....

the weather has turned bloody awful - I won't be able to get home 'til Monday....
 

[Eveready1100]

Well guys,   I guess you'll all be starting to head off to the rally soon
 Anyway, I hope everyone has a good, safe trip there and back and may the weather gods look upon you all in a favorable light.

Please take plenty of photos for me to cry over, ok? 

[Jonesy :-)]

Bryan, the time is near, but for now you must Hold!.........Hold!........
