Nice, good to see your getting out. I have been out on the road bike a couple of times, been fun.
Been out a few times in the paddock on the TTR. I love the bike, just putting around. That's the beauty of the TTR, you can ride it at any pace and it's happy.
I was thinking the other day, if something ever happened to it, what would be an equivalent replacement???

Ttboof · Senior Member

I have thought the same but I don't think there is another bike that is a good replacment for the ttr

Got a Friday ride in today much the same ride as last weekend just in the other direction

JOHNYBOY · Super Guru

you are doing well over 100 years old

Looks great. I gather you just go on your own?
I went riding last weekend with a mate in The Wombat State Forest in Victoria. Beautiful scenery and a lot of varied terrain.
We did about 70ks in 4 hrs, a couple of stops (no pics unfortunately)
However, I have to admit to riding my Husqvarna FE350 on this trip.

Good to hear your getting out,I try to ride with mates but if there not available I go solo. this weekend I'm planning to go out again so have sent out messages to the crew they don't like the warmer days though biggrin

You are right it gets hot this time of year and scares a lot off. The weekend I just went was 37 degrees by lunch, just in time to pull the pin. I always wear full body armor, with this underneath, with now jersey. https://www.mxstore.com.au/p/Ballards-Comfort-Undershirt/58-CUS-c Seems to work really well at keeping cool. Also other trick to keep cool whilst riding is going fast and limited stops.

Have fun on the weekend

I wear riding pants and shirt with elbow /knee guards and Ballard's armoured shorts underneath . My old fox armour that's zipped tied together over the top then over that is the back pack with gear / camel pack and a satellite emergency becon

Got out solo today the other guys pulled out due to the warm day it was 32deg at 7am just nice I recon biggrin

I always wear the same when going for a proper ride, knee guards. I also swear by the armoured shorts. Back pack and camel back 3 litre. You just feel naked and vulnerable without proper riding gear in the scrub. 32 degrees at 7 is a bloody warm start to the day.
