Heard the words impossible to pass and in the middle of nowhere.

JT sort the heap out, and put your name down.

Anyone have any info apparently at the end its impossible to get up not sure how much truth there is to the stories I have been told.

[Ride it till the red]

I've been through there with 4wds before but hadn't considered riding it.... Would be keen tho....

That Suzuki doesn't show half the damage 4wds can do, from the looks it had little tires and little power.... Watching the amount of mud that a 350 v8 pushing 36 inch tires at max rpm's can throw out of a bog is bloody impressive!

Ye will be keen to give it a shot mate

Think your bike needs an oil change first tho

[EXCDirt]

Yeah, I'll probably be in too!
Sucker for punishment.

Sorry but those 2 are pussys, sounds like the bike was in 3rd gear, no wonder it couldnt get goin. ive done that track on a dr 200, every year they do a vintage tractor run through there. sheesh.:baby:

Id be keen for more punnishment. Sort radiator fans for the 450 this time. Boiled the CRF 3 times with dafydd last time. Let me know when you are going if im free and have the spare coin im in. Dosent look as hard as wires.

Ye was an intresting ride last time, but boiling 3 times is nothing JT is on a constant boil he has to stop at every muddy pool of water and top up his rads :rolleyes:

Ive seen a lot of intresting things go into rads including protein shake I name no names. :blank:

[EXCDirt]

I'll be keen when I service my bike.
If it's not as hard as the Wires track it should be easy.

[B0000M]

get yourself some "water-wetter" from repco or auto1 or similar, inhances the cooling properties of the water as well as increasing boiling point. stockcar guys swear by it- and they ALWAYS have heat issues! lol

Four years ago I went up there on my Drz 400 and my mate took my TT500, we did it! - I would say that it is just the same difficulty as the Wires - the track is a little more open with less of that riding down a slot feeling with walls on either side.

Im in!:niceone:

i used to ride thompsons track all the time back in the day, only went all the way over the hill twice though. usually we used to stop at the top on the Te Aroha side and look at the view, then take some of the bush tracks back down.

[honda_power]

id be keen if my bikes fixed... be a few weeks away yet

[Keithf]

looks like it has deteriorated a bit since the last time I went through there....can you still get all the way through from the Te Aroha side to the other?

I went up to the gold mine and back

[EXCDirt]

So,
Shal we propose a Date to do it on:
Janurary? sunday 3rd?
Do we want to go over and back? or just one way?

I maybe have a place to stay not too far from the other side at Omokoroa?
Ideas?

[dafydd roberts]

[EXCDirt]

I could be? Just have to check I can make it.
Got to sort out my dented pipe. Probly just to give it the bash again.

[theblacksmith]

I'll try but no promises. Just depends whether Rog or Ifor wanna provide transport. My water pump seal arrived - just need to pick it up from Hamilton Motorcycles. Fk I need a tyre too.
And Ive just noticed that the swingarm bearings are shot. No go.
