imagine a classic "Laurance of Arabia" scene....it was nothing like that! ive got some go pro but its boring as I didn't see anyone....
when I passed luffy and his mate the camera had stopped
it also stopped before the highlight of the ride and that was the "Wall of Death" (the Wimmera mallee channel -decommissioned). What a blast that was, I tried to hit the tight bend flat in 4th but it shot me out the top and into the paddock.... woo hoo..
the track after the first road crossing was called "conrod straight", on the first 2 laps I didn't notice the bump at the top of the crest but on the last two we got air....
the big sand dune after the 2nd road crossing was great... I saw the press crew all lined up and gave it the berries, pulled a ripper roosting turn in front of them...must of looked sensational...nearly as good as when the bike then kept turning left and I shot off the track into the grass and down the side of the dune.... that must have of looked hilarious
congrats to the team on assembling a great mix of desert stuff, a great ride... I rekon it will be a must do for next year, just luv going fast....
I learnt you don't need to upjet water cooled 2/'s and lifting the needle turned it into a 125 which was great in the deep sand...not!
husky's go well in the sand, sit back, twist on some "go" and let it find its own way to the next corner...(that's when the fight starts!)
I found a new tube in the middle of the track on the last lap so I stopped and went back for it (I need one )... I finally got back to the start (after a 30 k detour) and Drakie fronts me straight up, "great, you found my tube" and knocked it straight off... My tube my ....
the trouble with a big day in the saddle you cant think quick enough!! someone always takes advantage....
if I can get organised, I will whip some go pro onto utube
