Just done the ADV October run to Pooncarie NSW, left Gladstone 8am Friday for a staight tar run via Mildura, last time I went from Mildura to Pooncarie was in April 1978, it was all dirt then, now it is sealed & a piece of piss.
About 30-40 at the hotel on Friday night.
Camped down at the river with Greg Doubleday from Bendigo.
We both stayed there on Saturday with a meal at the pub that night.
Returned home via Minindee, Loch Lily station, Quondong Vale station & due west to
Terowie then the tar to home.
Camped west of Quondong Vale station on Sunday night, home in Gladstone 1030am Monday.
McArdell blew a final drive again, he really needs to learn how to handle machinery.
Picture shows him do a little bit of roadside maintenance at the pub.
My bike handled the best it has in years, I now have 20mm front wheel trail, 290mm side car wheel lead, 20mm of toe in & 25mm of lean out.
Running Firestone 135R15 on the front wheel, Firestone 125R15 on the side car and will go up from 165/80R15 to a 185/80R15 on the rear shortly.
Thats all for now.
