He would have one the Fink as well, if he had no engine trouble.

was it engine trouble or a flat tyre mate?

Funny that, cause a freind of his told me he had a piston go, then I spoke with Paul who said he got a flat.(I only just remember that he told me). From looking at those shots, Paul almost looks as fast as I do.

when are you going to enter

you guys have some good racing over there... I would love to try that out someday.... hmmm, maybe I need to get an Australian sponsor???

i will sponsor you mate i will put all of the piss on if you win

ceballos, a man of your calibure needs Fink :tup:.

Tas, I will let Paul blaze the trail for me, then when he has had enough I will give him some personal riding leasons. :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

Mate what about paying for my coffin nothing fancy and we have a deal.

sounds like the smart way mate

By the way is my eye site going, is that 11' rims packing Kenda Kutters and XCF's up front. Gee another high profile racer sticking with 11" rims

Hi guys thanks for the plug.
Yep well i'm just home after the 2010 Australasian Safari. It was my 3rd crack at Safari this year and after a 3rd and a 2nd in previous years I finally cracked the big win this year.
Safari is run in West Australia through the harsh outback and over 3800kms or about 2400 miles. Held over 7 days it's tough on rider and and machine. you can find more about it at www.australasiansafari.com.au (http://www.australasiansafari.com.au)
P.S. It was a flat that held me up at Finke but I also did have engine troubles earlier in the week before the race started.

Hi Paul and welcome, now I remember a certain LTR 450 that arrived at Fink a while back with no back tyre and it still pulled off the win. Correct me if I am wrong

ceballos, my statement was to all the people that ran out and bought 10" rims.:lmao:

Race coverage, videos and stupid coments from me are at the link below. The race goes for a week and is about 500+km per day. You must be able to do 300km (200+miles) on a tank at race pace.

Good stuff...........

ceballos, my statement was to all the people that ran out and bought 10" rims.:lmao:

HAHA, I bought them b/c there were no tires (tyres) available at the time for the 11's. Yep, thats what I thought LOL.

Oz.. thanks for that link... good stuff! Would you happen to know what stand they are using?...

Cant help you there. I think Pete (guy in hat) has had that thing as long as I've known him.

HAHA, looks like it could lift a damn car.

Some of us don't have a choice.

Congrats on the win , there is a small piece on this race in the new Dirtwheels.

nice...... but whats up with the crown

You know "the Stig" and his others maybe he could be the "Aussie Matlock"
You did good my friend but love to know how much fuel you carry with the side tanks etc.
Total weight ?
The Brit. :D

Very cool to hear! I think people are slowly catching on that the TRX700XX is perfect for this type of racing. We are starting to see a few more of them here in the SCORE Baja series.

Well there is a whole lot of nav gear behind that "crown" same set up as Dakar, had it and the front guards custom made out of cabon fiber.
Love to see the likes of Wayne and the boys over here for some races.

Oh and the side tanks are 11.5L each plus the IMS tanks aswell all up 43L.
Havent weighed it but its heavy
