Thanks for the great day, an excellent ride with great company.
Karapoti always delivers a few challenges when wet, not to much carnage this time though :)
I was pretty stuffed after that, not used to standing up for so long.
I might actually have to get ..... fit. :sweatdrop

Heres a few pics , didn't manage to capture any action shots.

:stoogie:

I was pretty tired as well - fortunately I talked my son out of going trail riding when I got home - I spent the rest of the afternoon panelbeating and re-attaching my numberplate and associated bits and pieces.

We could never lose you Rob - we could always just head towards the rising cloud of steam... does GS stand for Geyser of Steam?


Mark how are you enjoying the 450? Must be awesome in the Akas on it

The 450 is in its element in the Akas - it has more power than I know how to use - when you give it full throttle a little flashing sign appears saying "you are about to suffer a spectacular and painful death...".

Glen and I were up there again today swapping between the DT230 and the wr - didn't matter what he was on he was still way quicker than me. Glen thinks wr stands for "wild roosts" which generally seem to always be aimed at me....

I know what you mean Fergie - I've ridden a mountain bike a couple of times from the Mungatooks through to Battle Hill on the Paekak Hill road. What a freaking idiot I must have been - 8hrs of 'push up vertical hill' immediately followed by 'ride dowwwwwn vertical hill' .....

"Honest its this long..." Bullshitting in the woods..
