Well finally got a vid to work from Tammin,1-10-12.
Tammin is a small country town about 190kms East from Perth in Western Australia.
This is the same event I won last June,in the FL800's debut here.
Was really hoping for a back to back win,but alas poor Baz Image
Was a long weekend,Queenie's burpday I think?
Started day 1 on Sunday 30 Sept,and finished day 2 Monday,1 October...2 months to complete! Image
2 days of 6 laps/day,5kms/lap,30kms/day.

Day 1 Sunday started off well,had a record 22 nominations,did the prologue lap and was pleased with it.
Checked on the board,and came in fastest lap.
That was where my luck started and stopped.
Started the 6 lapper first heat,over exhuburant driving saw me spin out a few times,then on the last sixth lap,half way around devoloped a power loss at full throttle.
Fearing a lean-out put,I just semi throttled around to the finish line,but just before it, I mashed the throttle down and was back to full power.
Lost a shit load of time.In the pitts found it was the filters totally caked,so was not allowing full air at max throttle.
Replace with new set of K&N's,but this time used the Uni's oil foam pre filters,instead of the Outwears which let in too much dust.
The K&N's did their job well,finger swipe test in the carb's bell mouth,slides etc,came out clean and non gritty.

Monday day 2,track is really degrading,heavily rutted especially in the soft sandy sections.
Good news is I finished,but could'nt make up for all the lost time of day 1.
Came in at 8th,and able to drive back on the trailer,a feat in itself.
This is twice now the Pilot800 of Ak's has completed this Enduro in it's entirety,take a bow Diablo! Image
Great skills and mods in buggy building.

Day 1 HellCam vid did'nt work,only Day 2.
So here is Day 2's vid.
