Graeme
It did occur to me that some of our throng will be TDM subject matter experts (not me) and may be prepared to share same in informal, interactive setting after a hard days ride but before the serious disablement sets in...ie gather round a TDM with a beer to listen to Professor (insert your name here) regale us with the finer points of (for example) bike handling, countersteering, suspension set up, carb balancing, fuel injection, windscreening etc. (no need to actually know anything, just to think that you do!)

Do you think there could be some takers?
Rick

Hi Rick, I have a feeling (strong) that this is going to happen anyway. It may not be possible though to nominate the exact time but if it can be, why not.
I'll make a small wager that "screens" is going to be the most discussed topic (you read it here first).

Hi Rick, well picked, yes Ben would be the likely pilot.
Like the "V" idea or whatever other plan is devised. Never know we might make it into the carpe calendar. Will speak with Ben at earliest op.
Any other thoughts?
cheers Graeme

Have spoken with Ben and he will be delighted to help us get some shots at the Lake or anywhere for that matter. Have also teed up someone to actually hang out the window (of the plane) and take them. Pencil it in for the Friday morning but it will depend on weather to a large extent. Ben personally thinks the lake may have water in it in Oct caused by increased rainfall in Eastern Ausrtralia, itself caused by evaporation from a very wet inland Australia (Lake Eyre etc). We shall see.
Not long now---

HI Azza, Got them last year but this link is to the same shop on ebay uk but the product is slightly changed. Cant (couldnt) get them in Australia, as you can see they are generic 17mm for ohlins. As I recall ended up buying from here as best combo of price / postage at that time. They are handy for when you do change the preload. You didnt pick up on TDMToraneko's comment of a couple of weeks back then in TDUT?
Very!! eagle eye on seeing that camera mount yesterday or whenever.

preload adjust 17mm

cheers Graeme

Hi all, Great Alpine Road is known to many of you but this section has never had this degree of clear view that i can remember. They slashed along the side a few months ago and today had to ride to Bairnsdale and remembered camera to get this shot. Was trying out the new video cam as well but am having stability issues with its mount so no decent video of the section. Anyway, here it is.

Hi Ian, i really hope you can make it for the whole week! There are two parts of this sequence of corners but only half are vis at any one point. It sure makes it better (safer) being able to see through the bends. Hundreds more bends of course which is why my just replaced PR2 on the front ends up looking like this.

The good news is that the rain wasnt enough to fill the lake and its still dry at one end so the original idea is still a goer (barring large amounts of rain)

Ok, went to Hotham today. Am not going to tell you (oops) about the video that would have been perfect except i have just accidentally deleted the thing.
Took some stills though and this one is from the Summit area looking to Feathertop.
