Anyone going to this one? Seems like some good hillclimbs in some of the pics on their website. Im thinking of making the trip - have a friend living 7k's from the ride base.

Enjoy, looks like a ripper ride, pity I'll have to sit it out.

As an aside saw the '10 TC250 Sunday, mmmmm, that thing is like candy to the eyes.

Sounds a sweet ride, neighbour reckoned it was a good one to.

Try Ballards.cc for the clutch cylinder, I got one & it was $180AUD delivered from memory.

I went and really enjoyed it.
I was the 2nd bike on the course at the start of the day.
Then came round the second time to find the mud bogs had been churned up badly. Saw some awesome kids who made the big loop on 50cc bikes! :shit:
Not sure how the guy hit the tree? Poor bugger though. Saw another couple of people who went off the road and into a creek! Oops.

I would highly recomend this ride to anyone.

Impressive, all I'd done is break off the lever itself ( top & bottom mounts ). To bust it apart like that without breaking the lever is a damn fine effort.

Was that the spot coming off a paddock just before you crossed over the railway tracks? Onto the limerock bit.
I had a massive lowside/ washout which was unexpected.
Just all the mud off the field made it much slippier as the day went on.
