was it in the new colors? e.g black checkerplate?

if so could somebody get me some pics if they are heading to a show?? I can't wait! like a kids at christmas!!

There is a new one at our dealers in the black checker plate I checked it out last week, if I'm going past again I'll grab a pic.
It looked very flash too!!

I spent the weekend at Jamieson in the river then the pub for tea :car:

We went to Halls Gap fo the weekend.We stayed at the Grampian Gardens caravan park,the park is fairly basic but it was cheap and was the only one we could get with short notice.With it being a hot weekend we gave the pool a bit of a workout (no solar brrrr)toilets were old and could do with a update but were fairly clean.it was only the vans 3rd outing and found a couple of water leaks one outside one inside.The outside leak was from the awning right above the fold down table(yes it did rain for 5 mins),the inside was from the inlet supply join,but nothing to worry me to much the van towed well and we had a great weekend.

Went riding yesterday just out the back of Warburton and surrounds with The Kaboos (Dan) and my bro inlaw.
The Kaboos was on his trusty XR250, I was on my XR400 and the third bike was a KTM300. The condtions were perfect after the 37.c day on Wednesday we had rain that night which got rid of all the dust and made the tracks perfect although a bit slippery in spots and water back in the usual bog holes.
We passed one group of 4be's and 2 other blokes on bikes so all in all it was quiet on the tracks.
It had been a while since my last ride so it was good to get out there again and it had been around 5 years for The Kaboos. I made sure I took him to a long rutted clay hill for the 1st challenge of the day :tongue: and he made it up ok but for the 2nd section it was a bit easier after dropping some air out of his rear tyre.
Only 2 pics on the iPhone as it went flat!!! Time for a new phone I think ;)
I took these after The Kaboos readjusted his tyre pressures

Looks like a great ride very jealous!!!!

I went out to a place called "Frying Pan Creek" for a boys weekend and left the disco at home sleeping in a small tent....

Great weekend except for -

1) Flat battery on the car, thanks to the NRMA for coming out into the bush to replace a battery :)!

2) Flat tyre after a day on the tracks in the 4WD, thanks for having a spare to myself :)!

3) A broken camp chair on day of arrival, thanks to me for picking up 4 brand spankers on sale on the way to the weekend. But apologies to MrsExpanda for cracking my one open without her!

Will get some pics and more detail up later been of the air for three days and I am stuffed....

Are the dreaded flat battery, same happen to me (again) at Gundagai Easter Monday :( Don't know why this time other than the battery getting a bit tired and has been killed before,
Fortunately this time it stated after a gentle tickle from my mates PJ, so I'm up for new battery soon also.

Looks like you had a great time on the bikes!
Nice to put a face to the name even if it was disguised behind your helmet!
