Are fire extinguishers compulsary for this ride Scott?
Looking forward to this one.:woohoo: Did the Glen Murray one the other day, really enjoyed that :yes: thanks so hoping to do the whole series this year at the 3rd attempt!:scooter:

Yes fire extinguishers are compulsory - received the flyer yesterday.

Can't make this one due to re-launching a yacht in Whitianga and racing back for the family Christmas BBQ.

Have fun everyone.

$15 seems good value. Do these come with any means of mounting to the bike?

[noobi]

They come with a plastic bracket that holds the extinguisher and could be mounted if thats what you mean, but they dont come with mounting screws or anything of that nature

bring zip ties or duct tape, they will work

didn't he hide it in the exhaust can?

Used an aluminium backing plate in the airbox with bolts that went through the plate and the airbox and through the extinguisher bracket, the extinguisher is held to the bracket with a velcro strap aswell. Its only fallen off once, and that was after being there for ~9months without being checked once.

just got back from marking it out, its pretty dry in the open but not to bad in the bush, track is about 25km with all the a loops (there are 3 different a Loop options) and about 20km if all the B Loops are taken,

we have the family loop again, which is for kids and learners, it is completly seperate from the main loop,

hope to see you there sunday

I remember about 3 years ago on this ride with adam, boom,cheese?, mike on the raptor, barty (i think) and a couple of others and you having to ride my crf up one of the muddy hills '"cause I was so knackered and tired from falling off :facepalm: I think i'm a little better now.:scooter: Also remenber going down a steep hill with a hairpin bend and everybody stuck in a bog at the bottom! so a little rain to keep the dust down is ok but a huge downpour would see everybody queing at that bog again.

Depending on what the family state of affairs is maybe or maybe not making it now.:blink:

Me and 4 stroke were riding that day, and it was the first time i had ridden a crf250x and i thought it was so heavy, then relised that half the mud that was on the track was on your bike.
It was funny watching people trying to get through the bog and coming unstuck, but its always good to help people as well. They help you out, and then you help out the next group etc. no body whats a bad day stuck in the mud.

723 riders today, very few injuries as well, i like it when the ambo staff are bored,

cheers for everyone that showed up

I had a great time today, completed all the A sections:yes:
I passed alot of people stuck on the second A loop hill climb, didn't want to stop and be in the same situation. Must have got quite bad as on my next lap it was blocked off.

I only part that gave me trouble was the "Expert hill climb" made it too the top easy, but then had to walk back down and help a friend with his bike,then had to pull a quad out of the native bush half way up as he looped it.
The bit that killed me was walking up the thing.:gob: Had to rest for 10mins at the top just so i could have the engery to start my bike again.
A few bikes were leaving the ride with out even getting dirty (no extinguishers), As i hear that you sold all of the stock,400 odd extinguishers.
