I like the fork-stops for trailering without loading up the suspension too much. Never seen those for sale before!
Ride safe, take pictures,

They come in several lengths & some are adjustable, the ones in the photo are good as they can't slip back with the wings, it's 500kms each way & on some rough roads plus I don't want a bike to come loose.

Cheers mate, fairly bike fit for my age & it was a heap of fun, I did 840kms on the TTR riding like this from Tuesday to Sat, they had over 100mm of rain the days before we got there to add to the enjoyment. Perfect conditions

Cheers Terry

ttr steve · Super Guru

Flipping awesome !

PlumasDude · Senior Member

Great picture that last one! Hope no one broke down in Buggery Gorge.

TerryK · Super Guru

We had one bike lock up, the WR426 dropped a valve, lucky it was on the way back from the mine & took my mate almost 6 hours to pick it it in a 4x4...it if broke in Buggery gorge it would be best to tow it out with another bike

Terry

mossproof · Super Guru

Yeah, you wouldn't want to hang around down there too long

Cornish Pasties and Devonshire Tea on offer - you are truly spoilt Terry biggrin biggrin biggrin

TerryK · Super Guru

yes we are spoilt, blue skys, good tracks, great views & no one for miles. Blinman is the highest town in South Australia & less than 20 people live there.

We love our trips up there, dual sport heaven
