Posted: July 20th, 2010, 1:53 am
Well we went down south on sunday, 300km's to Katherine for there 4hr endurance race.
Roostmaster took out his recently purchased CR-500, me on my old faithful, black betty-ramble amm CR-250/97, & another mate of mine Matty Johnson on his YZF-450/05.
I did'nt do too good, i got a puncture inside the 2nd hr & try'd to continue on a flat front but it was dangerous as hell & i'd only of buggered my front wheel in the process...by the way i used a Michelin Desert tyre as it's supposed to be the goods in the enduro race formats, gave me the best confidence iv'e had in my my front end ever...also ran a 14/48 drive line how fast was that
Roostmaster came in 2nd over all & with Matty coming 3rd.
The locals must of thought were did these bloody trophy hunters come from.
Roosty hadnt ridden big rides in over 1 1/2yrs & it showed on his body at the end of the race.
Matty hit a kangaroo at full throttle crashing heavily & throwing in the towel but we egged him on & he was suprised to finish were he did.
Another compeditor also hit a roo, out come unknown
Enjoy the pics.....
& he knew this would happen but still went on.....
2 weeks to heal atleast
Happy to be done.
The lady cooling her man down...he didnt want to sit down, he had monkey butt.
The corse incorperated the local MX track...Roosty # X, belive it or not he's just landed 60ft table top...check his dust cloud.
1/2 of the field...asteroid & roostmaster far right, we were in the middle.
I took a while before i smiled our crew could of pulled a 123 for the day....bugger.
Speacial thanks to Feebee, Briannah, Bronny & Jo for a great day in the dust....bring next year on. Matt/Scott you 2 suck
