Warren Jack remembers a tough day that underlines the importance of a reliable location beacon.

It was a two-day ride from Batemans Bay to Cobargo and back on the NSW south coast and all was going well until mid-Saturday afternoon. Up until then we hadn’t even had a flat tyre among the 40-odd riders in the group. Suddenly, we had serious problems indeed.

Too much talk

The rider behind Chris came around a bend on the fire road to see Chris’s KTM on its side and no sign of the rider. This track was travelling across and down a mountain with a very steep drop on the left hand side.
