Might go for a ride on Sunday. Probably go find some clay. I have the itch and I've just worked till 2am last night and 1am now so its my fathers day present.
I hear Thunder is dry now and is Kimis open yet.

Thunder would be my Pick if my budget extends to all the gas and entry required to get the bikes down there? That'll be a good hundy gone?

But is Kimis open yet and are there any other rides on??

You been talking to Rupe!
yeh mate won't be long before he's faster than me!
He's doing OK, had only 33 hours in the seat. That one caught him out, but you know what its like to be a teenager.
All balls less brain! Good on him though, its the only way they learn at that age by, hurt pride and PAIN!!
He's ok now! And No damage to the bike. So its all good!

LOL, so it was you two! Looks like rain this sunday mate, and she gets pretty slick out there when it rains. Why don't you two just come down next weekend when there will be a few of us going.

If you have to get out this sun, the big dipper should be all good if it rains. Then you can put that one to rest.

Yeh if it rains it'll be back to the sand. Just discovered a broken throttle assy so have to get a new one.
I've said I'd do Thunder with you guys next weekend, let me know the details! Sundays my choice! My sons going away next weekend, I think? so I'll be on my own.


That targa looks like fun!!

Im gonna head to either PR Thompsons track in Ngaroma or Rockhaven Farms- Pirongia - they re both only $10 per bike per day.Hopefully Pr T's cos there awesome jumps there and big cambered berms. Just been too wet till now.I better ring first to check though.

Try the bombng range of you like. Been there a few times but now that The Sandpit as improved so much its better to pay the $25 bucks and get some good bush tracks in as well as sand dunes.

Well I'll find out tomorrow. :) I'm just going to be following a bunch of 4x4 enthusiasts who seem to know a way in.

If you pay to get in Via the Sandpit you might get KTM boy into trouble if you get caught on the beach near there. You could deny it but maybe we should check to see what the rules are for him to keep the sandpit going! Youd probably be ok all the way down at the bombing range but I would guess the beach outside the sandpit is a no no.
Don't want to screw up that facility for eveyone.

thunder was awesome today, considering the amount of rain:baby:
but there was only one bit that was really crappy, ill say where it is so no1 has to deal with it cause its pretty bad
in the open paddock before the long straight thru the trees that is the end of the a track, there is a strem crossing and then you ride thru a gate then to the left down a little hill then over a bridge and under really dark trees
right before the little bridge is a bog about 15m long caused by the stream and takes up the whole track
so after half an hour of pulling bikes out i notice that there is a hole in the fence so that you dont even need to ride thru the stream in the first place and you dont need to ride thru the bog
i was impressed :thud:
to find the hole dont ride thru the stream in the paddock instead follow it towards the trees and there is a nice hole to ride thru
so apart from that 1 bit the rest is easily rideable or avoidable:2thumbsup:
James siad when we got there, that on the first weekend open hes already had an injury, someone fell off and knocked themselves out, also werent wearing gloves or a long sleeves:buggerd:
james was really impressed
