I've got a BMW175 with your name on it! Ask Geoff about it

I heard that your "factory rider"* virtually destroyed it at Harrow!

* Factory rider in this case means someone who thrashes bikes on vacant land behind some factories.

Unfounded rumour mongering! The mighty BM was more up to the task than the rider- the learner youngster that the bike was levered from exhibits finer motor skills than the flapping carcass that adorned the bike at Harrow. If you read closely between the lines you might detect some disgruntlement from the sponsor.............

There seems to be a bit of local interest in this event, which is good. As mentioned already, there will be camping at the Raglan Reserve, but there are other more comfortable options in and around Beaufort too, there are a few suggestions on the VERi website. Beaufort has a couple of pubs and some cafes, and there are wineries around too if you're so inclined... Very genteel!

Hark!
Thou does hear the sounds of crickets chirping.

Am I the only one gullible desperate talented enough to take up such offers?
It's a great fun bike to ride, it revs to the moon it has heaps of torque and loves to be short shifted and will drag you up hills effortlessly (so long as your not in a hurry)
Just don't wear you best gloves as you will get grease on them when you have to put the chain back on.

It's looking a little like Team Penrite might be traveling to Beaufort! A couple more blue bikes in parc ferme.
Seems Mark and I will be staying at the Clayton Street Hilton in Ballarat. Thanks Mum and Dad!
Looking forward to catching up with some of the Harrow fraternity and blasting through the Raglan forrest.

Who's lending me a bike if i come down?




Well, if you weren't keen on the BMW I have this for you. This was a co-operative project with GMC.....he said he was the KDX expert so I gave him a big pile of KDX parts and....this is what I got back! I think I like it better  than a KDX, but not sure how he got to this? Anyways, don't say we aren't trying to help! 8)
