Re: Oz-Boxerworks - Spring run

Stumbled into here after a bit of a break! Spring is nearly over, blokes!! I should update you. After my enforced sidelining, I'm back on a slightly more youthful replacement GS. Yea, I know, but I still have my R65 and keen to rebirth after its early retirement. And the roads and the weather are su...

Hey mal!
Disappointing that you had to wait so long to get on board. Last year when we went, we boarded within about 30 mins both ways. How do you do maps like that??? Been trying to make Google maps track a route but hopeless!

Re: 2015 Autumn Boxerworks in Oz

The Cold Flame rally was good, and we had adventures on the way out. Jeff's RS spat its cam chain and needed to be towed out by Brother Ken (on his GS), using some blue Telecom approved rope, then trailered home for the autopsy. Bugger!.. a busted cam chain is pretty uncompromising! It happened to m...

Re: 2015 Autumn Boxerworks in Oz

We had a pretty lazy but very enjoyable ride over the Omeo Highway at the weekend. Started on Friday from the Yackandandah Bakery and headed off alone the back roads to the Lockhart's Gap road from Sandy Creek through to Eskdale in the Mitta Mitta valley. Lockharts Gap road is yet another shortish b...
