We will camp about 20 - 30 Kms along thr track after the prologue. Watch racing Sunday then maybe head off in the afternoon heading east via the Plenty H/W.

I'm on a F800GS and my mate Craig is on a TDM 900 that thinks it is a dirt bike. Say G'day if you see us.

Munga, we may catch up with you somewhere in the Flinders or furthur up the track. Hope you are more sucessful than last year.

Ian

I'm firing up the Tuck Truck and heading north again, the Finke races has been on my list for a long time.

No fixed plans, just get on the bike and ride north west. Anyone know if the Kingoonga pub has reopened?

Hey Canoe Guy, make sure you have plenty of cold piss on hand, a man can get mighty thirsty out there. Last time there, I drank the local Sargeant from Oodnadatta PS (who was there on unofficial crowd contol duties) under the table. Bundy Dark and Stormy's had just been released, and we went through 2 cartons on the Saturday night!
That was the 1994 OCR

Catch you on the road.

One happy Budda

Last time you were at the Kingoonya pub you tried your best to burn it down so why would they let you back.

Not sure if we are camping at 30 k or 80 k mark yet but keep an eye out at prologue we will be 2 990s and my tiger. We are staying at the Casino Thursday and Friday night also going to scrutineering Friday night which is a good night out.

Ianbmw · 05-27-2012, 08:49 PM

G'day Podge

Yeah we will keep an eye out for you. I still have your mobile number from last year (I was the one interested in buying a bashplate off you).

Out of interest I have just looked at the Elders forecast and I see 90% chance of 20-40 mls rain for Tibooburra this Saturday. We were planning on Saturday night at Cameron Corner.

I guess it will be what it will be.
