We're amazed how quick he picked it up. John took him there on Wednesday for 1st time. Part way through the day he was doing the learners track but couldn't get around 1 corner without help. Today he's around it no problems. He also has the concept of when he starts wobbling & losing it to give it more throttle. He's already going a decent speed - kinda scary haha.
Very proud of him though.

Go on, post the pic......

[L Rider]

Well Mini Mx has been postponed - Sandpit is tempting. Will make decision in morning me thinks.

Awesum photo of Brooky from Wednesday - thanks to Clmintie:niceone:

[SpikedPunch]

Me and krad will be out there, come rain or rain :cold: I'm gonna be running in new piston. Think his bro meatbomb's coming too. Fark it's gonna be FREEZING, better just remember to keep moving!

[L Rider]

Weather so far isn't as bad as predicted - tad windy here now but not that bad. Think we will go out today for bit of a ride considering we were gonna be in it watching the kids at mini mx anyway.
Winds are meant to be clearing by lunchtime if the forecast i read is the right one

So how did it go with the new piston then? Was thinking about it, you're braver than me going out today! I'm a sissy girl's blouse!! Probably great fun out there and didn't rain at all!!!

That was a cool day, sweet conditions with no rain, wasn't too cold either. Jt showed me the big hillclimb after the big dipper. Sheeit that was tough, tried it about 10x almost made it to the top a couple times but no dice! Ah at least I didn't take it out on my bike eh flyin lol! Good chasing you two around the convict, really hard to keep up when you guys are goin race pace.

Had one interesting bit where I was practising wheelies (& aquaplaning lol) on the back road through the puddles and must of overgripped throttle and it was held wide open front started to come up quick and I was sliding backwards, couldn't reach the clutch arrgggh, luckily was able to pull myself up just. Note to self remember back brake next time! lol

Good to meet you Lil John and I must have seen you L Rider will say hi next time.

[noobi]

thanks clmintie wish thay were as clear as your pics

was that steve not getting up that hill?
theres another good one near the big dipper. i think that you go left on the home option before the first uphill of the big dipper, and there may or may not be a red arrow pointing to the right, and that goes to a good climb. not very long, but really steep and with about 10m run up. chop and ktmboy showed me, i failed at it:blank:

[xen]

It was steve & me. Hes the smokey one

[SpikedPunch]

So how did it go with the new piston then? Was thinking about it, you're braver than me going out today! I'm a sissy girl's blouse!! Probably great fun out there and didn't rain at all!!!
It was AWESOME! The bike feels so good. I was pooped real quickly today, but the bike performed really well ;) The weather ended up great (sorry:bleh:) we didn't get rained on at all, bit windy out on the farm loop tho. Bike felt so good going up that hill with the overhanging branch at the top. We did the trail of doom and there were a few bits I think I might have gotten snagged on/stalled on before but went over fine (albeit ungracefully!) and I think the bike feeling a bit more powerful played a big part in that.
It was cool, felt even better than when I first got it. Hope I broke it in ok. Can't wait to see how well it goes with a pipe and stuff on it!

stev and rich got with in a foot of the top i just didnt put that on the vid rich just wasnt going to give up on trying he came down backwards almost as fast as he went up and some how stayed on his bike

[Finn]

Ah the good ol days...

Can't remember the hill but its way out the back and it looks like it's about 4 - 5 times longer and a real bitch to get up. After several attempts I came to the conclusion that a 250 didn't have enough grunt so I got a 450. First time I tried the hill with the big banger, my arms got there about a minute before I did.

That hill climb seems to be quite easy now. May have to get the Hillbillies to put another one in next to it I think.:Punk:
