Levuka May 2010

What an awesome weekend!!:cool:
A big thanks to Pete and Rod for leading the two trips, and was great to meet and catch up with everyone who attended:)

After a long night on Friday working on the disco and packing until 2:00am saturday morning we ended up getting away at around 5:00am. After a 3 1/2 hour trip up we arrived just before the groups had left for the days driving.
All day saturday was great fun and the weather was just perfect, that night it chilled off abit but thanks to trav for keeping the fire going it wasn't so bad:D
Today wasn't as nice with a slight drizzle of rain all morning, Pete, trav Justin, dave and us went out first thing and gave a few of the harder tracks a crack without any issue's, once again i had a ball:angel:

I got a few pics but didn't have much of a chance to get everyone:(

Thats it for the pics from me, i have plenty of video footage but i am having trouble loading it on to the computer:angel:

Anyway thanks all for a great trip!!

CHEERS TIM.

Looks like you all really had a great time, I am green with envy.:(

Now that I am feeling half reasonable can put up a post. Again a great trip, great people and had a great time. Thanks for the pics.....Smokey Rocks :D......Smokey never fails to please.

Couple of notes to self. Do not a) fall asleep at campfire and wake up freezing 2 hrs later all alone...B) do not hammer the turps the night before you have to pack up you and 3 kids ( might be a tough one that one ;)).

Thanks to the TL's and TEC's for their efforts.....these things just don't happen by themselves and Wayne......get those pics up :D and then email them to me.

Regards

Stevo

As usual great trip great people and a bloody great campfire due to my beer-fuelled desire to burn as much timberas possible. Weather was **** on Friday, setting up in the rain is never a great experience but it had to be done all the same.

The bullet did the job, not as flash as some but still it was all good. Havoc crossing got back at me after I did it in one attempt a while back but after 3 goes and plenty of rpm's I was off and going (gotta love that exhaust, fuel bill sucks literally :mad:). Highlight moment was the wheel stand on Rosemarys road at full noise, got carried away was an understantement (pity nobody get that on video :(). I did have the video crew from 4WDtv riding shotgun, had to check if there was any brown stains on the seats after they left :eek::eek: but they seem to handle it alright. Also that not terribly good looking front winch bar passed with flying colours as I had never tested it (was made by the previous owner).

No pics from me was having too much fun.

Rain + Levuka = fun,damn work getting in the way:mad:
Glad you all had a great trip.

So am I :)

Having used them quite a lot now on very different surfaces, I can safely say they are by far the best all round tyre I have ever used.

They also happily run at 8psi with no beadlocks.

Awesome.

Wonder if there tamer cousin the KM2's are just as good with more civilised on-road performance. Rod (big dog) seems to be happy with his set.

Do like the new KM2's just the price is not to my liking :(
