Shit, good work. Hope you manage an earlier night tonight. Looks like a good KB crew for tomorrow. Hope you guys who aren't feeling too flash feel a bit better tomorrow. Drink plenty fluids from when you wake up - Good luck.

PS cheese, put some tape for your hand with your fuel at pit area in case you need to do a re-tape half way.

And by the way, the amount of cheating in that race was amazing. I had dudes go on completely different tracks, only to find them about 20/30 seconds ahead of me when I was origionally in the lead... Pissed me off abit.

Soooooo many major corners cut.

[barty5]

basterd if id seen that id of stoped and asked 4 one

[xen]

Never saw that rut lol..

leightons place is where the jolly roosta was ?

[Ktmboy]

you didnt end up in ther did ya my 4th lap i did fear craped my self it was about three foot deep

Ahemm.. Ok it was our first race event, and yes we learn't heaps.
we learnt to like make sure that the guys arrowing know what they are doing!. Hi vis arrows are now a must!!, Bunting off corners etc about 5 -10 metres after a corner(change of direction) so that those who can't stop don't cut the bunting and therefore make a track for others to follow. We wll review this and only get better.

Yes, we had a few that for one reason or another took the wrong path and I don't think they did this on purpose. It was our fault and we soon remedied any short cuts at the beginning of the second lap.

It was a huge ask and generally we had 95% positive feed back.

The next rounds will be easier to follow as there are not so many original criss cross tracks that can confuse folks.

There will be no short cuts in round two.

Anyway thanks to all that entered. I'm buggered:mellow:

[Rupe]

I also don't remember that rut. WTF?

Also I want to put up a protest. Aaron and Ruperts results should be void. Rupert name isn't Ruper Copins!! LOL!!

lol, think it was spelt rupper, which is what Asian people like to call me.

Got a fuckin sore neck, must of hit my header harder than I thought, new helmet time.

Saw a couple of kb'ers with helmet cams on, wheres is it??????????

[oldskool]

where did they leave the car???

I don't know, I looked down ioawa road or whatever it is called (at top of Muriwai Hill where he broke down) and it wasn't there so who knows where his car is.

Ahemm.. Ok it was our first race event, and yes we learn't heaps.
we learnt to like make sure that the guys arrowing know what they are doing!. Hi vis arrows are now a must!!, Bunting off corners etc about 5 -10 metres after a corner(change of direction) so that those who can't stop don't cut the bunting and therefore make a track for others to follow. We wll review this and only get better.

Yes, we had a few that for one reason or another took the wrong path and I don't think they did this on purpose. It was our fault and we soon remedied any short cuts at the beginning of the second lap.

It was a huge ask and generally we had 95% positive feed back.

The next rounds will be easier to follow as there are not so many original criss cross tracks that can confuse folks.

There will be no short cuts in round two.

Anyway thanks to all that entered. I'm buggered:mellow:

It was a mint day, hurry up and put the results up!!

yeh mint day mate even if I an 4 others got lost up a wrong track!!!! Stopped when we got to a fence. Others must have gone there as we where following their wheel tracks. Wouldn't have made much difference to us though!!

Great event Ktm boy freckin excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good effort!!!

[Ktmboy]

you didnt end up in ther did ya my 4th lap i did fear craped my self it was about three foot deep

Follow the arrows my son.
I know where this is and it probably cost you 30 seconds per lap. Only about 5 riders took this option as it was well off the race line. You have to ride with your head up all the time, lookin lookin lookin, all the time.

Sorry for sounding like Great Uncle Bulgaria from the wombles, just trying to impart my limited knowledge.

thers to laps on the cam good bit of me and xen had a big grin when i seen him up ahead guys getting pretty fast now

[oldskool]

Maybe i should get one of those airhorns for the next round to reply with when they pass heheheeheehe could make repassing easy
yeah like the dukes of hazards thingy, enough to scare the pants off me if you were right up my butt!

[Ktmboy]

lol it was a fun rut and you guys did a grate job it was a shit load of fun

I pulled one young fella out of there. He was riding down the middle of the sucker and got his front wheel totally jammed. maybe thought he was at the "Wires"

[Boosted]

haha sweet ride today tony, was awesme :)

[camchain]

Mixed bag for me, rode like a sloth & couldn't get decent concentration happening. I scoffed No-doz before race hoping it'd wake me up and sharpen focus didn't seem to work very well. Maybe a bit too wired. Got a good start, but tucked the front end on a corner not long after & lost a whole bunch of places. On the other hand it was really satisfying doing the solo class, got 5 laps in without the expected major leg cramps. Last lap a real battle though. (FlyingCR I've had to do those 'leap out the car, cramp dances' more often than I'd like , very friggen painful. Try stretching a bit before getting into car. Seems to help get rid of some lactic acid)

A big thankyou to KTMboy & crew (Grant from Spectrum in there too I think?) for all the work that went into making it all happen. I thought event went extremely well. I was a bit iffy about the short start straight & first corner, but it seemed to work nicely. Not enough time to get high speed but enough space to jockey into positions.
At briefing your heads-up on the course sections to watch out for was absolutely spot on. I'm sure you saved a few bods from some unwanted soil sampling. A mate reckoned he spent 10 minutes stuck in right hand side of that bog!

PS hard to mark a course on area that gets ridden a fair bit. Lots of different 'old' trails in same spot & only takes a few riders take a slight different line that can end up a fair way off real track.

[A&R]

Bloody Great event. Tony :clap::2humbsup:niceone::rockon:and thanks to all the guys that helped to put it on. Reckon you did a fantastic job but you need one of these:mega:
Sorry Oldskool just couldn't wait any longer and there was no way I would have survived the ironman!:rolleyes::scratch::love:
Thanks Clmintie for helping out. ( Specially for moving that post. Got a bit stuck there with the size rig we got.) Looking forward to those pics and good to see the shoulder getting better. Kids couldn't stop speaking about it all the way home in the car! by the end they convinced themselves they had won everything!:jerry:
Thanks for the pit tent Aaron and all the KB crew that made it a great day. See ya all in about a months time. Or at the sandpit for some training! :scooter::chase:

BTW where the hell was that rut Jt119 went through. Was he in a different race?
Agree with earlier comments 'bout guys taking short cuts same as Cheese - had a couple guys I over took only to have to do it over again because they got in front of me by cutting great bits of the corners/track out - bloody annoying. Anyway doesn't detract from an awesome day.

im sure if you wemt straight ahead after the bog instead of turning right you would have found it big short cut that would have cut out that whole toi toi bush section guess you would have saved time as long as you didnt get stuck looks deep.

[Midget200]

Cool pix, but hey who's this Tracy person in the pix of me!

...AND it was an AWESOME day!! Really enjoyed it and good to catch up with yah'll.

Right so I can't label photos!!! There were a whole pile of Tracy's first iron man, I think there were only 2 woman in it! And there were 9 after her! Go Tracy!! Can't believe some of my best clearest pictures were you Old Skool!

The event was well run, well organised and well planned KTM Boy. I think there will always be those that criticise and complain! Might be better if they just had a page on the website for positive suggestions, rather than complaining!

Big thanks to Louise, Yoda, Alana, and everyone for the food, lap scoring and everything. Made the day go smoothly. Great having different places for viewing. Made it awesome for people who had friends racing!

[chop]

someone on a husky passed me, and it may have been a horn of he may have just been yelling at me to move over, regardless i moved over and he was gone

beep beep.... Was either me or Sam Greenslade were the only two huskies with horns.. Was me yelling at you noobi i think... sorry about that was in a bit of a hurry :shifty:

[chop]

You shore that wasn't Karl power and birchy from triple X moto's where they on a husky shop bike???

Nope both on KTMS...Chris had his 300e and Karl a 250e

[Assasin]

beep beep.... Was either me or Sam Greenslade were the only two huskies with horns.. Was me yelling at you noobi i think... sorry about that was in a bit of a hurry :shifty:


Was Chris Birch yelling? I don’t think so maybe you should learn to ride before you start yelling or beeping your horn at people who are not as fast as you, if you are that good a rider you would be able to pass without any fuss all yelling does is unnerve people and could cause an accident. Remember everyone has paid there entry not just you.

You have to ride with your head up all the time, lookin lookin lookin, all the time.

sometimes a bit hard with the Evs neck brace on to look to high up on the trees. An some like me look to much, to close, to the front wheel LOL!!!

I'm a bit slower than most (due to age and experience, or lack of the latter LOL!!) mostly they aren't yelling abuse, just that they are there, often you get a thanks as well as they go past!

[barty5]

Id agree with that ever one that i let pass yelled out a thanks and hey if there is room to move over to let them pass i do if not then they gota wait till there is or go bush everyone is racin and most accept that as a rule. Im not going to pull up and stop to let them pass as that can even worse results for both concerned.

dang im not feeling good.

[chop]

Howd you crash??

[barty5]

dude put his front wheel in between mine and frame highside into him them came back down on bars hard enough to twist them .

sure as hell dose cant move much they said its not a broke rib but maybe cracked but sure is painfull to move

[cheese]

Yeah I wish some others would have moved for me when I came up behind them. I ended up taking a couple of dodgy overtaking lines and it paid off luckily.

[buffstar]

Yes if he needs to im sure he does yell mate, just like everyone else.. If there is little room to move which in some parts there wasnt and some times people cant hear you come up behind them. Sometimes noise is needed, not obsenitys,just noise. I can ride and so could the people i past but since you know it all im guessing you must be a pro thats been doing it for years and i must be a poor rider.


hmmm, dont think you needed to take that quite so personally, but hey.
It is a valid point - perhaps not delivered in the most pc fashion, personally if i had someone yelling at me it would totally put me off for a moment or two (and as i am what i am i would probably hunt them down in the pits.....) is always good form to recognize others may not be as fast/confidant as you. Not to mention they mite not know the track as well as you do .......ahhhh seeing as they didnt get to put the arrows out and get familiar with the track before raceday........HAH howdya like them beans?:done:
.
In saying all of that tho I thought you rocked coming down that big long straight on your back wheel!!!
Yeah, I was that random chick at the end of the long straight cheering everyone on - thought everyone rocked :Punk:

I've done mine few times Barty.
Ribs don't necessarily break clean they break like you'd break an Ice block stick with the front together and the back sort splintered. Well that's how it was shown to me on an Xray once. Nothing much they can do mate just no laughing, coughing or sex!!!

Fractured a rib years ago and it hurt like hell. I dont envy you barty.. Ktmboy hurt his a wee while back and he was in agony.. didnt look fun

[cheese]

Tony, you should set up a track at woodhill as a "2 man training course"

[chop]

Ive got a loop made up of linked trails that i use as training for enduro's and xc's i can show you sometime if you want

[SpikedPunch]

Well, for what should have rightfully been a crappy day for us (with all the mechanical faults) I can't bring myself to be in a bad mood over it because of all the lovely KBers and other people who helped us out yesterday:love:
Buffy, who got us there in the first place after seeing us with the mighty peoplemover all in a shambles broken down up the top of muriwai, you're awesome! We were seriously considering just riding the bikes in at that point, didn't want to upset the neighbourhood and get the organisers in the poo tho, haha.
The organisers!! Who put on a very cool event, and let us sign in even though we were really late after the car troubles. I loved the setup, it was so wicked being able to see bits of the race from the sidelines, the track was really cool, lots of nice forks in the track where you could overtake/pick different lines too. I know people don't like woops, but I thought they were great since I passed lots of people on them :shifty: Thanks to my towie on the quad too, for anyone who thought the roots were bad, they're much worse to go over while being towed by a quad :bleh: but we made it out safe and sound. Krad then doubled me back to sign in and I ran/hobbled as best as can be done in bike boots to get our transponder in...Wonder what my lap time was...:innocent:
Barty's pit tent was great, and the consolation prize for coming last was much appreciated, don't think I can bring myself to taste defeat just yet, I hear it tastes like aspartame ;)
All the KBers who hung out with me at the bottom of the hill and tried to make my bike go, it was a no go :no: but the company and the effort was much appreciated! The bottom of the hill was a cool place to be stopped at least, I got to watch lots of crashes and got a lot of 'WOO HOO!'s from passer-bys. Wish I had my point and shoot, I normally pack it but figured I wouldn't need it in a race! So many faceplants...
Reckless and Oldskool for their kind offers to tow us out, cheers fullas :)
and finally..
CLMINITE!:sunny: Who was the total man and got us and our bikes home, who faced the driveway ditch of doom and survived, and managed to have a great attitude the whole time! I can't say thank you enough!! Me and krad and meatbomb will definitely have to pay it forward some day :hug:

Yup, so, very exciting day. And I am knackered now. Woke up with a killer headache and took a sick day. All things going well we'll have working bikes and a working vehicle and be back for round two, maybe even get the chance to help some other people out :)

[cheese]

I saw you on the side of the track and I yelled out "its me, CHEESE" and you looked at me blankly while Krads was trying to kick your bike over. I took that as a Grrrrrrrr so headed off. I was trying to catch up to Rupe anyway.

Yeah I'm joining the gym tonight to try and get a bit fitter for round two. I know it won't make me ride faster, but hopefully I won't be as fucked half way through a lap!!

Tony - keen as to come have a training day with you.

[Midget200]

What happened to your bike then Spiked Punch? You've not had the best of luck over the past couple of weeks. Glad to see you're still cheerful about it all! We were getting a little concerned when we didn't see you back!

There's a new gym promoting itself behind the Tavern/Valentines on Wairau Rd. Offering a really good deal and has new equipment. Same lot that run the one in Highbury, both handy to you.

I'd like that too need the practice
I was a bit disappointed in my effort but just wanted to post a result for the first time! If we had a put in a little more effort we'da made another lap.

Maybe one sunday you could take us on a training day LOL!!!

Lol, don't remember that, musn't have heard you, woops :bleh:
Midge: It carked itself after I crashed at the top of a downhill. I tried to roll start it from there and it wouldn't go, and tried to kick it about 858765897x at the bottom and it wouldn't go still. Tried a bunch of other stuff...Just no go.

[clmintie]

and tried to kick it about 858765897x

I just rang that number and they haven't heard of you......:mobile:

Whip the mag cover off (left side, plastic). Can you see any oil? And, please to check the kill switch wire wasn't crushed when you fitted the new tank.....

I sent spike a message before. My RM was the same and it was the sparkplug lead.

Anyway definitely sounds electrical.

I always find it tricky to work out best approach when letting faster riders through.

It's bloody difficult to concentrate on what you're doing and also monitor how close a following rider is getting. I usually move over & tip my head or flick a hand out to indicate side I'm suggesting they pass on so they can be sure I'm not going to veer onto that line. Seems to go down well, 9/10 times you'll get a 'thanks mate.'

Often I'd deliberately take a crappy line to let someone through. Other times I either slowed right down at passing moment or even pulled over & stopped. But if you loose 5 seconds 12 times, that's a big fat minute off your own lap time. Us average guys are racing & testing ourselves as well & wanting a decent result for our ability level. (keen to see those results, stop teasing KTMboy! lol)

Seems the rev engine trick can easily piss people off if you do it straight away, especially in a spot that doesn't offer a pass opportunity. I hardly ever do it but then some dudes seem to make no effort to let you through. The ones who are just a bit slower are by far the hardest to pass. In frustration I sometimes took some pretty dodgy lines to get by.

Was very aware that doing solo, i had to save energy so couldn't go too ballistic anywhere, so i put extra effort into not to slowing anyone up because it really was a two-man event after all. Oddly, sometimes I'd let a rider pass & they would then slow down & I'd end up having to pass them back again (tortise & hare factor, lol). Passed a few on that marble surface uphill (before the deep sand climb). Gave myself one wee fright on that, but found you could you fly up if easy on the throttle.

Buffstar, so that was you cheering us on at end of start straight? I really appreciated that big time! Got a huge boost from it & was able to dig a bit deeper. Cheers.

The hard left on that rock hill had a good clean line and way more traction. Saw a few bikes get scarly loose up there

[tommorth]

had to have a recovery day off work today I'm sore all over wish Id done some training before hand. rekon that puddle was the best bit of the track everyone stuffing around trying to dodge it made the bogs on the sides deeper than the puddle. have know Idea where that rut was jt but there were lots of detours was a massive section cut out of the track near the start think it was marked with orange arrows went straight ahead instead of down towards the road i went down towards the road each time but was never sure if I was going the right way. that soft sandy hill with the woops was a killer everytime I went up that slppery rocky hill I got some energy back only to loose it all in those woops .

Had a plenty of people pass me but I also passed a few of them back to I just figure it a race I'm not stoping if theres a straight wideish bit I'll hug one side and if they want to it they can pass me if not ...

big thanks to tony and the crew was an awsome event probably won't be here for the next one but lookn forward to the last one

[camchain]

Yeah, most of centre was just way too skatey, I tried the other side but tucking into hard left worked the best for me. Feel slightly good that I at least found one good line chop! With so many variations through trees was hard to remember all the best ones. Found a perfect one only a foot off one particular beefy whoop section through toi-toi. Smooth sailing all the way up. Weird as almost no-one was using it.

[flyingcr250]

yea it was a bit frustrating being stuck behind some slower riders

Will definately be in it myself next round, am trying to talk my partner into racing it with me......... if not I might have to manup and do the IRONPERSON with my mate Tracy

KTMboy and co plz let me add my appreciation of an awsome event!!!!! You guys did yourselves proud :drinknsin

[chop]

Yeah bro - thats my bear :Punk:

haha nice... you wont get him racing will ya?? Bout time he did!

[buffstar]

haha nice... you wont get him racing will ya?? Bout time he did!


am working on him now......he did the 2man last year with Darren and I went in the ladies with Tracy....... the boys didnt really like the tight stuff that time around, but I think the general concensus is that the new organizers are putting on a better quality ride - not wanting to offend anyone with that comment - tis just the word on the street :shutup:
me and him also did fells farm afew months ago - that was pretty cool (even if i sucked a little bit :laugh:) even managed to get me a little bit of air WHOO HOO MEEEEEEEE
Personally I used to really enjoy the tight rooty stuff (that could sound quite rude couldnt it?) but i had a big off in Nov last year involving a tree, cracked pelvis and broken wrist - am finding it really hard to get my confidance up again need to HTFU I think!!

I always find it tricky to work out best approach when letting faster riders through.

It's bloody difficult to concentrate on what you're doing and also monitor how close a following rider is getting. I usually move over & tip my head or flick a hand out to indicate side I'm suggesting they pass on so they can be sure I'm not going to veer onto that line. Seems to go down well, 9/10 times you'll get a 'thanks mate.'

Often I'd deliberately take a crappy line to let someone through. Other times I either slowed right down at passing moment or even pulled over & stopped. But if you loose 5 seconds 12 times, that's a big fat minute off your own lap time. Us average guys are racing & testing ourselves as well & wanting a decent result for our ability level. (keen to see those results, stop teasing KTMboy! lol)

Seems the rev engine trick can easily piss people off if you do it straight away, especially in a spot that doesn't offer a pass opportunity. I hardly ever do it but then some dudes seem to make no effort to let you through. The ones who are just a bit slower are by far the hardest to pass. In frustration I sometimes took some pretty dodgy lines to get by.

Was very aware that doing solo, i had to save energy so couldn't go too ballistic anywhere, so i put extra effort into not to slowing anyone up because it really was a two-man event after all. Oddly, sometimes I'd let a rider pass & they would then slow down & I'd end up having to pass them back again (tortise & hare factor, lol). Passed a few on that marble surface uphill (before the deep sand climb). Gave myself one wee fright on that, but found you could you fly up if easy on the throttle.

You rock Camchain! Me and Racy Tracy have taken your words of wisdom on board and I've printed them off! Might be more inclined to do the next race and will take your advice! Thanks for that.

[flyingcr250]

man i think ive been bitten by the racing bug, after the T100 and the 2man, im looking forward to the other 2 rounds and the dead toad, also cant forget the 4 hour in taupo

Oh hell, you're far too kind midge but thanks though. Not trying to dispense any wisdom (if I ever successfully do that, it'll likely be an accident), just interesting in chucking ideas around & in what others do.

[SpikedPunch]

Whip the mag cover off (left side, plastic). Can you see any oil? And, please to check the kill switch wire wasn't crushed when you fitted the new tank.....

Gave this a go, no oil, no crushed wires either. It is a mystery!

[cheese]

Sparkplug lead!!

[L Rider]

Sparkplug lead!!

she was gonna try that next i think

[oldskool]

Sparkplug lead!!
Hopefully it isn't something too costly like the CDI unit

[SpikedPunch]

That'll be the next option..I should really start my own thread, gotta stop hijacking others, bikes got enough issues for one!

No, but I could try it:innocent:

[Reckless]

You've checked the kill switch thing as suggested before!
and a loose or dodgy connection anywhere in the circuit!

OK then here we go!
Firstly do you have spark at the plug when kicking it over with the plug in the cap an resting/earthing on the engine.
If not try a new plug
If still no spark cut the lead like I described and refit the cap try again! Having a good look at the old lead for breaks.
You could hold the end of the lead (using pliers) with the newly cut end 3mm from the plug while its in the head and see if spark jumps the gap when you kick it, as a test.
If you get spark another cap is needed!
If still no spark take the cover of the magneto side and make sure it isn't full of water and rust.
Pretty simple little tests that will eliminate alot of troublesome areas.

Then you might have to look at
the plug lead or coil or CDI or get someone who knows!
Best I can do over the net!

Done this, it's sweet :) Got spark, fuel is free flowing, and compression is good with lovely new piston and rings.

Tried this as per clminties suggestion, it's all good in there.
Ta for help! What I'm worried about is when I try and kick it over it's gonna go and then I won't know what caused it to crap out twice - an unreliable bike is no fun.

[camchain]

0.2c - Getting spark so doesn't sound like kill switch - BUT they can cause intermittant probs when knocked about. The switch (on handlebar) is really quite flimsy inside. Mine was a bit manky when I pulled it apart to check, resoldered terminals etc but really better to replace if any doubt, They're about $25 i think.

if you suspect it just unplug it then try starting

OK so you've got spark at the plug. Is it a good fat blue spark or a barely visable thin thing?? Just because you can see some sort of spark doesn't mean its good enough to make it go? If its a good spark then Electrics may not be your problem unless the timing has gone way way off??

Secondly just because the fuel is free flowing out the hose doesn't mean its getting to the cyclinder. After a few kicks with the choke on or throttle open remove the plug does it look wet like the fuel is present?? You have just had it apart maybe if the electrics are ok there is some shit in the carb??
Dunno pretty hard over the net?

[camchain]

if you suspect it just unplug it then try starting
Yeah, it's probably fine but they can seem ok then play up. Made me think of it again because bike seems to be a prob when she falls off? Maybe the little plate that completes the circuit inside switch is getting jammed on then popping back again later.
Edit: Uh, I thought bike was going again but just trying to suss out why it stops?

[cheese]

Sounds like we all need to converge at spikes house and break out the big hammers.

[flyingcr250]

looking forward to the second round

[vazza]

Question Tony, I seem to remember you saying at the first round that the last 2 rounds would both be at the leightons farm? It says round 2 is off rimmers road on your site. Whats the deal yo?

[cheese]

yeah me too. My wrist is coming right!! been trying to go to the gym. Not been as good about it as I would like, but fitter.

[Rupe]

looking forward to the second round

me too, going to try to make up for a poor effort at the toad. Hopfully Barty5 is back together by then.

Who else is in?

something was metiond in another thread about illegal riders in the area stuffing it up fkn tossers

[Ktmboy]

something was metiond in another thread about illegal riders in the area stuffing it up fkn tossers

Thanks Tom, heres my extract from another thread.

Heres a similarity.Well sort of.
I run a bike park as most know, part time. Yes I still need the day job. We have huge over heads(the tractor clunked last week so 45k for a replacement).
For a couple of months we have been in discussion with another private forestry block owner on South head. Best riding in the whole of Woodhill.

Well a few fuckwits from Silverdale have been illegally riding rather than paying like 99.9% of others do to ride. Well the second round of the two man has changed location because the land owner told us to go and get fucked because offroad motorbike riders are all dick heads. A few buggered it for the rest.

Yes we are going via Rimmers, the Otakanini Topu trust have allowed us access through the Maori Block.

We are freakin lucky to even have this as some dicks on bikes, you know the ones that park at the 10 mile carpark and say "we're only going up the beach" cut their fences last weekend and they lost 50 head of Angus cows in calf. They had a chopper up there today trying to find them. We, as a sport, are not doing well at enduring ourselves to the general public are we? I'll pay any one who can spot people riding outside of the park, its our freakin duty to protect our riding for all!!

Anyway its a ten minute drive(slowly please) to the site from The Sandpit.

Totally cool terrain. If you go off course on his one it will hurt you time wise. Or else you'll end up lost big time LOL. Lots of fresh stuff as we have been in there a bit pruning.

[clmintie]

Ooooh, is that the area we used to hold the Dead Toad and Enduros in the early '90's? If so, really cool riding............

[vazza]

Ahh yeh I recall.

Cant wait! :D If ya need a hand pruning gimme a yell!

Camping OK?

Seriously though we as a group need to put pressure on the few amongst us that ride illegally to stop it 'cause the whole sport gets viewed as a ratbag mob by the general public and land access is reduced as a result.

Hope they don't past the little lake that was up in there on my cr250 during one of those dead toad races took me forever to get it out as it was down a bank and no one could see me and couldn't let the thing go. Wasn't a good day didnt drown bike but was very close to it.

Haha, yeah we joked about this. There are a couple of very fast corners right next to the lakes. I mean about 5-10 metres away. Misjudge these and you go for a swim LOL. Could be a good place to get a minty photo.

[cheese]

should we all chip in $5 for the recovery of Aarons bike after he attempts to aquaplane on his bike.

Lol! This lake doesnt sound to friendly! I'm quite inclined to go off trail in my races, went completely off track in the Dead Toad a couple of times haha! Spotted a fatass cow in the track about 20m ahead lol. Was like flag that!!
