    How's that ford now?
    the ford is all fixed and just part of the road again now. yep so harrs is the best way in now - not sure how long the rest of the track is closed. slowly losing access with that gate still locked after the mx track as well. they dont seem to be in any hurry opening up the bit on the south side that was clsed for forestry either

    *sigh*

    I remember the good old days, when I could ride my TC100 anywhere on the waimak I so desired, or gas up in rangiora and head out playing around the ashley forest roads.

    Are people that much more antisocial these days that you have to keep them out, or are the osh laws so draconian that you can't risk letting them in?

    I know back then I never caused anybody any problems hooning around on my little 2 smoker, I just wanted to go for a ride, much like now really.

    Asked a Ranger why Waimak roped off all over the place - "Cause some people were not staying on the tracks - going all over the show and killing nesting bird life - particularly along the river edge".

    Suspect their other motive is to one day charge for the use of the MX track and even possibly river tracks .......

    Not sure how this long weekend will play out jsut yet but I'm thinking about a day out on a trail ride somewhere (road reg to get there). Waimak was where I was thinking given every other river will have higher than normal flows.

    Anybody interested?

    Cheers R

    Just posted a topic in meeting and events to see if there might be some more folk keen to explore Canterbury, adventure style but do not know this topic exists.

    Keen as, there's lots of places to go... anyone want to give me access to an unlimited FREE fuel supply for the next several months, a year even?

    I have subscribed to the new thread.

    Nice one ! Yeah might chuck 38 tooth sprocket or less on to help with fuel - marked difference between the 38 motard and 43 trail

    When they were asking $27 entry fee into the whitebait festival in latimer square this weekend makes trip to Aka's seem extremely good value for money though
