Anyway the Moonbi range is about 10kms of downhill running with safety ramps every 500mtrs or so (it's steep!) and being a tad bored due to going quite slow I'm flicking the splitter button in time with the music.

Unfortunately my foot must have touched the accelerator (taking the pressure off of the g'box) because about half way down had a gearbox full of neutral!

I can say that nothing wakes you up quicker than a 60tonne B-Double wanting to run off a hill
Ha! i could imagine that would have woken you up and taken your mind off being bored! I'll keep that 1 on the list of things not to do! Save me finding it out halfway down the mountain!
