I helped Dean into the ambulance. A combination of speed, dust and ruts is never going to be good. He will be sore and unlikely to be riding for a wee while yet. Sadly he was one of two with more than minor injuries on this Safari. I understand another Register member, Selwyn Blinkhorn, broke his leg on day 3.I enjoyed myself though, however 3 times through the Rainbow and Molesworth in one week is stretching my tolerance for dust a bit  😀

sorry to here about Dean and Selwyn's misadventures Gary - having just done the Dusty Butt my thought is 'there but for the Grace of God go i" 🙂 S

well done Alex – or should I congratulate the machine – you're an inspiration – my leven fiddy has done 61k – I've a little way to go to catch up with you – cheers Stephen OIncidentally (off topic) how was the rally - good gravel roads?

in reply to: Finally got "aroundtuit" and did the Molesworth/Rainbow …. #11630

a great ride (probably my favourite ride especically the top end of the Rainbow) – thanks for posting the info about road conditions – I'm planning on riding them both on Saturday 3/1 as part of the Dusty Butt 1000KM ride.

folks we're finalising numbers for this event – for details follow this thread on KiwiBiker. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=84924&page=4Calendar will be updated once we have final numbers and accommodation confirmed. http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&day=2008-11-29&c=0There are several GSers either confirmed or expressing an interest in doing this ride. Dual sport tyres - eg Tourances are unlikely to be suitable for this event. TKC80's are likely to be far more help. - cheers Aslan

Hi desamo and boGSer – thanks for your interest.Des good luck with getting the 400 - they're very capable bikes. Before the 650 I had a DR350 which I found a great little bike on single tracks. I just wanted the slightly larger phyisical size of the 650 for trips like this - the ability to carry some gear. I never found I did not have sufficient power on the DR350 when off road but the 650 certainly feels like it does things a lot more easily - very tractable.Gerard would be great if you were able to come. Perhaps I should have gone to the South Island RAG - can't do everything though. Is IanS (aka Postie of the 100GS PD going to do you know?)Off topic - I know this is heresy on this site but I'm sorely tempted to attempt the Dusty Butt in the top of the South which unfortunately coincides with the BMWOR Rally 🙁 - cheers S
