[2_SL0]

Well I had a great time. I used my time wisely for once and decided to have a good crack at adjusting rebound front and rear. Feels heaps better. I did spot Sammikins and I think barty5, JD bike looks kewl. Did Redrider do that? I have to work out what I wanna do and get him to sort it

I love big puddles, except one was deeper than I thought, errm, that got a little more interesting than I had intended.

Might even head out tomorrow.:rolleyes:

[telliman]

watch out for hidden gates,tried that hill climb today,sand was super soft with no lines through it,was tough! some solid woops out there at the mo.

[Reckless]

I might head out tomorrow! See how big the whoops are!
Haven't been on the thing for a month so need the practice (and fitness).

Ha ha, see there are changes every week at The Kawasaki Sandpit.

Ah, but you only had 100mts to see said gate.. Head up...eyes forward. Was funny tho as we were doing work and closed the track off. Folks would come to the gate and suddenly "jeeez the track has changed"

Tractor grooming,as per normal with the winter season tomorrow starting at 5.00am.

Whoops, fark you guys are lucky, these babies are mini mee's..hardenup.
No Whoops on the blue/red tracks!!:headbang:

[2_SL0]

i saw it quite early but was on the back wheel when i clicked,your pretty much on one wheel right through that section!

[telliman]

stand up braking has never been that flash!

[noobi]

we'll be there tomorrow me thinks. early as i hope.
red rodeo and a big mofo of a trailer with two bikes on it
gotta train for the 2man too...lol

[REDRIDER]

rain radar reckons weather is clearing, friends in waimauku said its clearing too, dont let the raid put you off see you there. cr250 no graphics haha

[SpikedPunch]

Great conditions today, we did lots of new tracks. Finally owned the loop track (don't know how it'd be in the dry tho) - hill skills are getting way better. Krad almost got brained by a deer and I did my first red (apart from the MX track) and didn't die or anything - had fun even! :ride:
Very good day - glad we didn't stay home with hot choccies and the newspaper even if it was tempting in the morning rain! :niceone:

[camchain]

Heh. That gate across the track gave us a bit of a startle. Bike is go fast - but brain am slow, doh. Nearly talked myself out of going this morning, but very glad I did. Had a top day and needed the battery recharge.

Its only a twenty year old wooden gate. Just bust it or jump it yah whoosies:laugh. It freakin fun watching riders shit themselves tho.
Stop looking at your front wheel. go faster ...stop quicker.

Anyway you know its there. Pink padding foam is going on it tomorrow LOL.

[telliman]

did anyone actually hit it?

[humai]

Just for curiosity's sake, and to avoid a potentially embarrassing situation, where is said gate?

[telliman]

across a yellow track that runs alongside the dead forest heading towards the old carpark!

[humai]

Ahh ha - OK. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey there Spiked Punch! Good on you doing the red, which was one was it? We need to do more reds! Yeah the loop was cool on Saturday as well. When it's dry it's a lot different!

[Reckless]

Was a good ride out there yesterday! No Rain even! Did all the reds we could find even that double red arrowed hill climb off the Woodchopper. Bloody good climb that! except for that big root at the end. LOL! Got al the way up and the front wheel over the rutted root but had to lift the back up once the chassis bottomed out.
BTW:
KTM Boy
Be really good for us to have some of those multiple arrow sign posts on the major intersections. At Spaghetti and a few other transition places. Showing which yellow/green or general direction we should take to get us to the beginning of some of the good tracks like the Trail of doom, Bogan extention etc Would like to do all the reds but I get so bloody lost I can't complete them. We even found some trails (I think) that weren't on the map.

Just an idea for you to ponder!

PS Is there a new map out you can post up for us?

[SpikedPunch]

Hey there Spiked Punch! Good on you doing the red, which was one was it? We need to do more reds! Yeah the loop was cool on Saturday as well. When it's dry it's a lot different!

It started out by the twister and led to the farm loop. Real getting hit in the face with pine trees territory hehe.

[QUOTE=telliman;1129259610] im glad i wasnt part of a group fanging through thereQUOTE]

That's kind of what happened to me, was behind a mate and looking at him, didn't expect him to suddenly throw out the anchor. But gate is just another obstacle, If I hit a braking bump hard enough should be able to pop up over it next time.

(True KTMboy, gate not dangerous just strange surprise. Maybe sightings of legendary Underpants Man riding a deer on MX track next week? Stop riding the fat chick.)

Ha Ha Hee. You cracked me up with the new avatar KTMboy. Cheers. But I suspect a clever ploy to avoid exposure of Undie Man's true identity. Maybe got my wires crossed, Undie Man not deer mounted but mounting deer.
