Title: Hiawatha Vic Australia 4th April 6th April 2014
Post by: bens87braap on April 10, 2014, 08:18:35 PM
OK guys Im back after using a friends set of forks I managed to get the old girl running again she still needs some front end work but that will come later when i can afford to spend more on her. 

We left last Friday on a Awesome ridding weekend.  Bike didnt let me down and for a 87 mdl she did fine keeping up with Daves kxf.   

Not much to say about the trip but lots of mud lots of beer lots of hills more beer big fire some rain then a bit more beer couldnt be better
