<-- now went that way
Every year about this time BT Humble and his loverly wife Minx put on a little shindig at their quaint country residence "Funkytown". This event is affectionately know as the Unaugual, this years was the "Unaugual 8.0" , the 9th running of the Unaugual... Make sense? Good.... 
I think this was my 4th and as per other years I take 2 days getting up there and 2 days in getting back... perfect excuse for a ride.
A group of us usually stay at the Jingellic Pub on the Murray River on the Friday night but this was booked out this year so Nev booked us in at the Tumbarumba Pub.
I decided to go my own way and meet Nev, Jo, Smack, GS and Moike at the pub for dinner, a few brews and an offer almost to good to refuse
....which I did
The First days route, trying to get the best dirt roads in there and still do 600km for the day. Ended up with a bit over 200km of dirt for the Day
The KTM on Freestone Creek Rd, this road and I have history , the road that killed the Strom :evil:
1 km further on from where the Strom died, 32km to go until lunch
The Dargo Store now has a good workshop in the rear of it to take care of any bike problems, the owner rides a 990Adv and rents out XR400s (I think)
Lunch!! a bloody good burger too
Heading up the Dog Graves road I came around a corner to notice a witches hat in the middle of the road, I though to my self WTF! then this!!
It had just reached the top when I came to it, it had gone down... and I mean down, about 200mt a few days before, in the middle of the night on a perfectly straight bit of road, a drunk 18yo drive daddy's mate's 4wd, no one killed, but one of them choppered out. The towie said he picked up about a slab of cans on the way down to attach the rope..
Into Omeo for some fuel and then up through Benambra Corryong Rd, which although is not the prettiest road about, standing on the pegs and belting the KTM thorough it, it has now become one of my favourites. Unfortunately I wasn't logging the GPS at the time, but I reckon I probably average about 75kmh on it, that's with all the twisties... 112km of goodness... I was pumped!!
The 950Adv S is simply amazing at high speed on the dirt, it rides and handles beautifully. I was simply in awe with how this bike handled.
A beautiful little...actually BIG! camping ground on the Benambra Corryong Rd, it reminded me of where the Dargo Rally is held, as I rode in Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds was playing on the iPod, it kinda fitted nicely
a glamour shot of the Adv
these were everywhere, I dont think I have seen them in the flesh before
its was getting late and once I had got to the Murray Valley Hwy i let the GPS take me to Tumbarumba on auto pilot, I was getting tied, those 200km of dirt where all done standing up and at full tilt, it was a great days riding and I had another 3 days to go... WOOT!

to you. They mentioned that a friend of theirs had a Strom and wrote it off and now had a KTM. Then the name Marty was mentioned, couldn't believe it. 
No your Honour, it is not me naked in that picture with all those goats
