Our- State of origin team "Victoria's Better" Harrow weekend had a great come back to the little town of Harrow after a year away.
We spent Saturday carefully running in my bike- 1982 WR430 Husky and Rob's 1980 Suzuki PE250 after both bikes getting a fresh can of compression earlier in the week.
Sunday came around and we were the 3rd team to leave on the frosty and foggy morning. Being in the first group of riders the bog holes weren't too bad, the special test was pretty tricky to follow. I got a bit over excited on the open sections and guess what, i seized the husky again
Again i let it cool down and waited for the old man to catch up and then got a push start and she fired back into life. So from there on in i short sifted the husky and took it pretty easy.
We finished the first BIG lap and came back into the camping ground to have a feed and do some running repairs. I raised the needle on the husky and added a bit more oil to the fuel even though i was already running at 25:1 So we lost a bit of time doing all of this.
The second BIG lap was easier in spots and a lot harder in others. Poor Dad buried the DR400 and took 3 of us to free it in one hole.
Then Rob managed to smack a rock strait into his rear chain guide and bend it to the point it was pushing the chain off the rear sprocket. So we lost a bit more time straitening that out.
We all managed to finish 2 laps each of the large loop and giving us a total of 8 laps for our state of origin team- Not sure how we didn't win this?
Anyway we then stayed Sunday night and enjoyed a few more beers and BBQ.
Here's a bit of YouTube footage with a couple of pictures of the fun and games at the end of it, enjoy.
Cheers Dewy.
