one week to go...
One week to go till the DB1K.. spent the last few weeks
crash proofing the XT660R..heres my new bash plate/engine bar set up..the XT has a very vulnerable water pump.. hopefuly I will have enough time to get heaps of pics of the 3 days ride... In the back of my mined I still have a nagging thought ..I should be takeing the XR250 as useal... I just won't do the challenge sections this time.. I have put a Shinko 700 rear tyre on.. it looks good for a 50/50 tyre..will be interesting to see how it goes..

I'll bet that bash plate set you back a few. I hope you have a great ride; how's the temperature lately?

Your water pump is well protected now.
 Enjoy the heat, Pete.  The current temperature here is minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit. :(Spud
