No dramas mate, let me know what numbers we're getting, so it can all be confirmed with the proprietors at Jams.

Update:

Have spoken to Jams, no booking required.
We are concerned, however, at the current heat wave in SA...
If the temp is over 40degrees, they close up shop...
Jams updates their website every wednesday before the weekends as to whether they are open or not.
At this stage i'm hoping a cool change hits and it remains open...
Have also found out they are open from 10am til 5pm..
I'll be banging down their door at 10am, providing they are open...

Looking good for numbers so far, and my missus will be circulating on the quad taking pictures of everyone. She's attempting to get a little "MotoPhoto" business venture going, so what she'll be doing, is taking a squillion pics of everyone, making them available for viewing online somewhere (yet to be determined), and anyone who wants a big blown up pic of themselves tearing up the Monarto Sand, can organise with her for copies. I'll be taking a vid camera, and helmet cam, and might throw a bit of a DVD together as well...
At this stage, am hoping to take a gas bbq of some sort as well, if i can fit it in, as i've got 6 bikes going so far... (hint hint, any one got room to take my bbq?? lol)
will keep the updates coming... starting to look like a really good day out...

[thump*140]

yeah i hope it comes off. at this stage, unseasonably warm weather is looking like the only threat..

Hopefully there will be plenty of vids, no doubt the good lady wifey will have hundreds of pics up, i might even pinch the quad off here and see if i can get a few tricky shots in here and there as well...
never know, might even get some video evidence that the Bling-40 actually runs!!!

 

[Sneezy]

Short time reader, first time posting.

Hi Guys

Me and my mate have just purchased out PitPro 150XR's within the last month and are looking to get up some ride time and get a bit more of a feel for these bikes.

So count us in as well.

We're definately not great riders, that for sure, as this is my first bike, but only my decent second time riding.

Looking forward to seeing you all tear it up!

 

[Doms150]

Count me in..any excuse to ride my new bike will do

 

[thump*140]

^^^^ all good guys, welcome aboard. Looking like we should have quite a little soiree for the 28th as long as the weather holds out.
Rider skills arent important guys, we have total beginners to wily old blokes going, we cater for all. ha ha.
watch this space for updates as we get a bit closer.

Update

Ok, not long to go now, so a couple of updates....

Weather is still number one concern, being as it's F***** HOT at the moment... If the weather continues as it has been, the proprietors at Jams will probably close up shop for the day, as we now have a Total Fire Ban in place up there. So fingers crossed, but i'll have a definate Open or Closed for everyone next Wednesday.

The place opens at 10am. So i'll be waiting at the gates at 9:59 waiting to be cut loose in the sand.
Seems we have people heading up there from all over rAdelaide, and i have a few peoples meeting at mine before hand, then heading up. Whether people want to meet on the way there, or beforehand, is open to suggestion. My house is on a main road, so there aint much in the way of parking... I thought everyone could meet at one of the parking bays up on the freeway, and head in from there, for those who dont know where they're going...
I'm taking a bbq along as well, thought a sausage sizzle might be a good easy way for a feed as well, and break up the riding and telling lies about bikes that will invariably happen...
Obviously with the current weather, hydration will be number one.. gonna get very bloody hot out in the sand, so make sure you bring plenty of water with you. I'll let your mum's, wives and girlfriends nag you about sunscreen and wearing hats. Am sure you young fellas will have your Mental Moolishus Hats on sideways anyways...

Watch this space for any further updates as we get a bit closer to the day...

 

[Satchy]

Numbers are lookin good! Hey thump not sure if you've mentioned anything about protective requirements, or if you know... If you do can you just post it up here for everyone to see? heard its pretty easy goin out there but a helmet is a must obviously.

 

[Sneezy]

satchy, at jams all u need is a helmet.. but yeah moremprotective gear the best i guess

 

[thump*140]

Yeah last count was 19 riders confirmed plus wives, girlfriends and kids, so looking good.
As far as i know, as Sneezy pointed out, the only requirements as far as safety gear goes, is a helmet, but obviously, the more safety gear you have, the better..

 

[Doms150]

hey if ya need an extra gas bottle let me know.. i got one lying around my parents place...or two.. cant really remember.. see ya then peoples

how about a gold coin donation for the BBQ...hey if you guys want anyone to bring anything just ask.

 

[thump*140]

should be right for gas i reckon. guess if people wanna bring stuff for the bbq...? Or i can just get a heap of snags n bread... quick and easy..
Fingers crossed the weather smiles on us...

 

[Raven]

My assistant manager from work is going to head on up with his PitPro 125RR.

So I gather that brings the total to 20?

 

[Sneezy]

hey thump yeah i recon snags, bread and sauce is the best way to go... ill grab some sauagages etc and put them in an esky also =)

 

[thirsty4chicken]
