Highs and lows ride

[ozzie]

Went out today with a couple of my mate and they showed me a couple of new water holes this is one of them and this was the high part of the trip






and the lows is that I blew a radiator hose and had to get towed to road by a KTM





I'll never live this moment down thank god I only had 2 KTM's with me today. But all in all I had a good day, so now I have to look for a good set of hoses to replace the old one. any ideas???

Cheers Kel

Steal them from one of the KTMS!
Auto store heater hoses will probably fit if you cant get originals.

A tow, even if by a KTM is better than no tow at all . I was down last week, and a tow from anyone would have been appreciated!! Super nice pics, looks like a dream place to ride!

Hey Ozzie,
I am hearing that you guys have had a lot of rain up your way.
Whats the riding like ?
I am heading up to Tenant Creek at the end of May for 4 days and they have been belted.

Don't worry Sam you are coming at the right time It will be nice and dry the temp will be in the low 30's, bring with you a camelbak with at least 3 litre bladder. For the the riding, its fast open and flat and with rock its not my style of riding but hey, its riding and some of the place's i get to see I think are nice. Like the place in this thread we rode about 60-70 k's on dirt roads before we got to the turn off, So as for a bit of fun on the way home I just held it flat for about 40 k's and that's why I blew the hose that join the two radiators together The riding you are going to be doing in Vic is my style of riding and it four years since I done that style and I miss it
So when you come to Mount Isa call me, I'll be pissed if you don't, you can ride my bike and I'll grab a mate KTM


Heres a pix of the countryside

Enjoyed the pics...and at least you didn't have to push your bike out. Been there, done that and hated it. Now I carry a tow line. It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

McKay, I lived in Clovis some time ago ( grew up in Tranquillity, CA) and did my undergraduate work at Fresno State. Nice to see someone from back home. Are they still riding near Three Rocks, by Cantua Creek or Kettleman City near Huron, CA? We rode there quite a bit in my younger years. I'm hoping to come out sometime in the future, haul our bikes out with a couple of friends and do some riding. Maybe we can hook up and thrash the Huskies around.

Kettleman got shut down about a dozen or so years ago, Clearcreek in Coalinga was shut down as well. Im not aware of a place near Three Rocks, but Im researching now! Get in touch of your headed this way.
