Esperance - part II

I think Ive found where I'm staying in Esperance, just need to show up with a swag and they will find space for me...

Pictures...

The weather was pretty hit and miss this morning, I seemed to manage to catch most of the showers!

Some pictures captured from the video...

Sunday...

...20% chance of a shower and winds 10-12 knots, looks like a 10m Manta kinda day. The Utes loaded and ready to go...

Esperance...

I'm planning a road trip to Esperance over New-year to camp and for some buggying?

Anybody want to come?

Video - Bike Cam

Filmed by my daughter with the GoPro attached to her bike. Also using the GoPro 3 way mount.

Music: Bom Bom, Sam and the Womp (sorry, thats what happens when you involve an 11 year old in the editing process!)

Buggy transport...

You'd think now that I have got the ute that I wouldn't have any issues transporting the buggy - it goes in the tub, with all the kites and associated gear without any problems and room to spare.

There has been a discussion on Extreme Kites about transporting buggys, particularly leaving them fully assemble. I usually store my buggy in the garage with the rear axle off and then into the back of the car (or ute) two nuts and bolts and the axle is on and away we go.

But I have created space in the garage so I can store the buggy with the axle on and I now have a bike rack for the back of the ute...

The buggy on the bike rack is very wobbly, would need some proper tie-downs and some other way of bracing it - without spending any money!

In the mean time it will be off with the axle and everything in the tub!

New car...

It's ute-iful!

From the weekend...

Some screen shots from the video at the weekend...

Test drive...

Went to have a look at a ute this morning, we took it for a test drive. It has now come home with us for the weekend to see if it likes us and may stay!

The dog wasn't to impressed...

But the buggy and kites fit in easily.

Life can be hard...

...when your trying to do things while keeping everything crossed so the forecast doesn't change.

Evolve Electric mountainboards and skateboards...

I think I know what I want for Christmas...

I was talking to a guy at work today who has one of these, huge range, awesome top speed and maneuverability!

"Dear Santa,

I have been a good boy this year..."
