Um....I think you'll find that was a Z1000....eh PC

And there were 2 ZRX's
Say what you like about the ZRX, I know who was still comfortable at the end of the day, eh Nelso
Oh, and they didnt do to badly either on the rest of the day

It's the only way I can do long trips like that and still walk at the end of them.

The CDT is a good reminder of why I have a ZRX and not a sports bike.

Um, Wattie was leading the charge with my ZRX behind

You sure you saw us and not some other group
Wattie's quote at the end of "best run ever through Granya" would probably indicate he wasnt locked in first gear - knowing the Wattman it would have only been second though

He must've been stuck in second, it's the only way I could've been keeping up with him after you let me through
It was a great run through there though, probably the most comfortable I felt on the Crim over the whole trip

Nelso is on the money here mate - the Pearl was up the back for most of the trip home because it was a bit.....woofy

Had some issues with the old oil cooler on the trip - one oil line developed a pinhole leak on the trip down - fixed on Friday - but the oil cooler seemed to be leaking slowly from within the core itself ?? weird - but the upshot was of course, a lovely oil waft following the old girl everywhere

. Needed 1/2 a litre at Omeo and 1 litre at Adaminaby on the way home
But I did manage to spend some time out the front leading the pack up through Boolarra and Churchill to Mirboo North on the second day of the CDT - that was fun

- just ask Wattman !
Even with the slight

oil issue - the old girl kept all the new-fangled Zeds honest......except when the bastards wanted to spend $2.20 and I only had $1.80
