Sort of, a few things happened which led to a lack of motivation to continue, multiple jobs I had to farm out taking way too long etc, it has got a little further but not as far as I'd like it to be, I'll probably do another one shortly regarding the fuel tank and mudguards I'll be using

No Crocodiles that far South or that far inland, I was slightly worried about the two drop bears we passed earlier though

It's about 25 km before Mitta Mitta heading towards Omeo on the Omeo highway and about 10km long before it meets Razorback Spur, we went into Quart Pot from there and camped the night, which was about 20km from the highway

Could be something in that, I saw a Beta X-Trainer get destroyed by a Suzuki DR125 on two occasions, so the Suzuki's obviously have it in them

Plastic rubbish that pretty much dominates most forms of motorsport and has for quite some time, unlike failed German manufacturers from decades gone by

Thank you, it was, there was no hurry and a good chance to enjoy the view

That is the Track into Blue Rag Trig, it runs off Dargo High Plains road in Victoria

Definitely not blaming the bike, we had spare time and thought we'd give those tracks a go, a better rider would probably do them ok, it was still a fun if tiring day

I dropped it on the way down as well, so did the other guy on the T7, steep and loose, we still had a good day

Probably about 200kg loaded with fuel, I was kneeling for so long because I was so tired at that point I needed a break

The bike was up to it, the rider was lacking, we'd already done 4-5 hours riding at that stage, we were getting tired

@@Kickaha83 My KLR is an antiquated turd. You will be left stranded at some point. Get something more appropriate and more durable. The KLR is little more than a grocery getter..

@@spencervidal3168 That bike belongs to my friend Richard who was further up the hill, I found the KLR better than I expected given the beating it was getting, I did 7500km on that trip without a hiccup

@@Kickaha83 Lucky you. Once it gets up in the higher miles I will begin to fall apart. There are much better bikes out there.. My KLR has been the worst bike I have owned in my 50 years of riding. I will be disposing of mine very soon.

@@spencervidal3168i think it does the job, cost 5500 and did a trip from melb to cairns and back. Way cheaper than if he hired a bike and no care give if it dropped. I have lent that bike to a few mates to do trips and no dramas at all. Better they enjoyed the ride rather than stress damaging it. For a cheap entry bike i would rate it fine. Can hook along at 150kph no probs at all.

It was a good bike and I did a lot of riding on it. I sold it about a month ago as I just wasn't using it anymore

I actually have no idea what the gearing was on it, it was lent to me by a friend so probably standard

Thank you, it was fairly leisurely as we weren't in a hurry and there was a third inexperienced rider with us

Xumo XT, I found it very good for what I was doing, it is designed for motorcycle use

Water cooling, linkage suspension and disc brakes came in around that time and the PE series got left behind, I also have a 1984 IT200 which is a far better bike

@@Kickaha83 yes I had a 1982 it 250 back in 85..it was a very strong and solid bike though heavy thr pe's and kdx models in the 70s and early 80s were tier 2 ..then around 83 or so the kdx was king for the test of the 80s...as far as Japanese off road machines are concerened..don't know alot boyt the husky though I do know they were considered the best. With Dick Burelson winning about 10 straight enduro championships in a row

Ashley river, near the Rangiora Airfield, goes up a lot further than that

cool thanks, ill check it out@@Kickaha83

@@Batman45025 Go down Merton road to the Airport, at the end of the straight turn left onto the stop bank along a bit then right down into the clearing, park up there and go around the end of the stop bank at the river end and head upstream, each stop bank you come normally has a track around it or a track off it

cool thanks@@Kickaha83

У нас есть много таких мест, где мы можем кататься, я больше не катаюсь на RMX, так как купил Beta 300 2020 года

Quite simply the best Enduro bike that Yamaha have ever built (I may be biased)

Possibly as that bike is such a weapon

It's been one of the best bikes I have owned, still a very capable bike even being 25 years old

@@Kickaha83 definitely Suzukis bikes aged beautifully and that’s always amazing to see with older bikes that can definitely still whoop a brand new 450💨

Hear that Richard, we better go back and you can try this and see if it works better 😄

It is easier to go faster but it makes me think I'm a far better rider than I actually am, suspension is good but still needs work I rode Mikes Beta 350 which has had front end work done on it and it was even better

Yeah by the 3rd lap it was getting much worse, he was one of the guys I was riding with so I couldn't really run him over

That's already underway, there's a few victims quite keen

I wouldn't like to do it without it, I was tired enough as it was

Off the end of Toomebridge road, but here are tracks all along the north bank from the SH1 bridge up

CAMs club do it at the Southern Festival after Friday practice at Levels , November 25th

@@Kickaha83 15 minutes from my place, I'll be there for sure!

Did about 3 hours on the bike, all good, weekend forecast is shit so might not do this one if the weather turns as it was muddy crap last time

Normally does, however later on that ride it developed a miss, I'll try a new plug and flush the carb, last time with a similar thing it'd got water into the fuel

This was a few weeks ago before Geraldine, I have about 6 weeks before I am able to ride again

Front locked and it flicked sideways, swinger had already gotten off green bike to check on the other swinger

I wasn't going fast enough to use him as a ramp, think he was looking back for his mates which were the group that passed us when we stopped to check on the young lady, then one of them went down

I was always going to make sure it could be returned to stock if needed, in the motor MAP rods, 356 cam, probably 8.25-1 maybe higher, needle roller conversion, I have an alloy head, maybe a 30mm Mikuni, thinking a Pazon ignition but that may change

It's my favourite bike, had it over 20 years

I think we're lucky we even have two options to choose from, another factor I didn't mention was the TT Industries is a local industry

Probably just the frame 😄

Not as yet, will be looking at it before Mt Torlesse this weekend or I'll be pulling out the RMX

I'd drained the carb and it looked like clean fuel coming out but when I actually too the carb off and removed the bowl there was water in the bottom of it, found a broken exhaust bracket while it was apart so it's on the RMX for MT Torlesse

​@@Kickaha83 Hey there Warwick, that's good to hear an easy fix to get the mighty IT up and running again. Cool I'll keep an eye out for the RMX tomorrow. Cheers Richard

Who are you calling old ? When I put pt 2 up you hear it running not so crisp by the end

@@Kickaha83 Oh shit did I say old I'm sure I meant to say young bucks, just watching your river crossing vid, what was the laughing about when you stopped. I look forward to watching part 2, dam that's no good not running crisp at the end. Cheers Richard

Guy I know with a Beta 300 X Trainer was just giving me the finger, he drowned his bike there on the first lap as did another friend
