Who's the man?

[CHOPPA]

I always keep an eye on the offroad threads it seems most of you are mainly trail riders etc, which of you guys race and who is the man lol which one of your mates is the guy that leaves you behind?

He has to be a current KB member and he (or she) has to actually still ride offroad......

somone had to
:jerry:

[noobi]

it depends on the type of trail, if its really tight and technical then the smaller displacement two strokes with any good pilot would probably leave an excellent rider on a big bore thumper for dust, and vice versa for open fast trails, the big bore would be faster
But its not me and i havent ridden with any of the guys of here so i cant say

[barty5]

did someone call for me?

No you just go back to little old gisborne

[B0000M]

i agree and disagree somewhat, as im resonably quick in the tight and gnarly muddy shit, with tree rooots and shit, not so keen on the open flat stuff, get to scared of falling off drop offs

[noobi]

Fair enough, so your normally the one doing all the passing in the tight stuff?
As for the fast stuff, not really my thing so i just put it in top and idle along, then get passed my guys flat on the tank only to pass them again in the tight stuff. Also i dont like falling off...
Some people just like going fast.
I wonder if you'd go faster if you rode a lighter two stroke in the tight stuff? :doh: sorry, sont think that'll happen

[4stroke]

yeah i tend to pass in the alot in the tight stuff, problem is im 120kg, smaller 2t dont like me too much, and tend to use the tourque of the 450 to my advantage on tree roots and snotty lil parts.

Fair enough, i dont think its skill that lets me pass people, more like that the combined weight of me and the bike is about 155ish kg
anyway,
Who is the best then?

[4stroke]

well ktmboy is quicker than me, as is chop, i need to push harder to pass them.

[Rupe]

oh and it full of water dam rain

Take the bung out of the back, but don't loose it!!

[takitimu]

well ktmboy is quicker than me, as is chop, i need to push harder to pass them.

& I'm slower than all three of you :scooter:, guy with the handle of ktmchris is quick enough I believe.

Watch out for Craig Cowley... He works at Phil's M/Cycles in Morrinsville with me ... Yamaha and a few other people sponsor him( He gets a new bike from Yamaha every 6 months the lucky bugger)

There is always the maramura gncc round.

[telliman]

any time, any place! haha

[Ktmboy]

Well I be thinkin...(shud up):beer:

Are we talking MX. Enduro or X country?

How about a novelty event where there is a bit of everything.Except throwing the keys into the circle.:dodge:

Start on a MX track at the Sandpit (5 laps on a made up course in the old carpark) Scull a bottle of coke, eat a cold pie, then off to some tracks incorporating maybe the loop track and John Nicks trail of dome then back for more laps around the old car park again. More coke and cold pies along the way as well.

Throw in a BBQ and we could have the inaugual KB cup. First round is first past the post and the next round in a few months time is handicaped (all honda riders get penalised and have to eat 2 pies).

Well just an idea, as this was how the Dead toad and the T100 started.
I'd put up a trophy..Pine cone on a plate.

If you guys want to do something like this then come up with a concept and I'll buy in.

[4stroke]

shit tony you could be onto something there, it sounds like a laugh to me, make it so we have to do woodchopers and some other nasty red tracks
lol

[telliman]

hey hey, theres no need to bring those nasty red trails into this conversation! you ferral buggers can keep your red for your selves.

hahaha they're great, next time i see you out there ill take you on a couple, i never used to like them, but do now

[REDRIDER]

Ohh Tony, you had me at one pie, 2 pies and Im thinkin all my xmas's have come at once, how bout doin the tracks backwards, then its fair for all. Im keen.

[clmintie]

Could also make it into a 'poker run' for us slow guys...... Cool idea Tony.....

Poker run for those who don't know is five laps of a set course, you get dealt a card each time you complete a lap, best poker hand at the end wins.

And how about we all put $40 or maybe more and that can cover costs for the BBQ and other shit and maybe turn some of it into prize money???

Why are people scared of the red trails? I spend all day on the red ones. I love the woodchoppers track. And the criminal loop is wicked! I found gregs one (can't remember the name) a bit long and twisty. I was just thinking, when the fuck does this end!

[REDRIDER]

so we need a minimum of 15 guys, 17 pies, (cheese and I need 2 each) a date, and someone to organise it. Any takers.
Oh and a name for the event...

[barty5]

THat would be me, Cheese (stale fuel and all), Rupe, 4stroke, and yourself 10more would be easy to find.

[cheese]

Hey lets make it like the "last man standing" event.

Oh and REDRIDER, we can have two mini pies... LOL

And does it have to be coke? I hate coke. I'll have a sprite.

[takitimu]

Nice idea !!!, though I reckon the KTM riders can't finish until they have their bkes on the sidestand & stable with nohands & no using gloves etc under the stand :).

[REDRIDER]

Oh and REDRIDER, we can have two mini pies... LOL
Mate ill down both pies and be eyeing your one up, easy:laugh: I know of 2 more starters for sure, so whats it called,

[barty5]

think the poker run idea was good not sure bout the best hand being the winner altought dose give everyone a fair chance no matter what skill level you ride at.

[REDRIDER]

bit slow at work can ya tell. :doh:

[barty5]

Hows about so it dosnt to much of a competion out of it all entry fees go towards so sorta charity Westpac Chopper seen them at a few rides not in a good way sadly or some thing of the like ?? Takes away the racing for prize money aspect and more so just the title of the (average rider award) or what ever its called.

[REDRIDER]

you taking the piss out of cheese again :crazy:

[cheese]

Its alright, everyone likes to pull the piss out of me.

Stale fuel....... LOL

I love the Trail Wars think you made REDRIDER.

Great idea with money going to the Westpac Chopper.

[cheese]

Hey Red, I just checked out your website. Nice work! I want to get some new graphics for my bike, but my knee guards keep destroying the tank shrouds. Got any demo ones about?? LOL

[REDRIDER]

sorry bud, other than going with 12ml laminate and an extra clear overtop theres not much more you can do.

[chop]

i'll be in! are we talking pie eating by hand or knife and fork??

[Hemex]

Ill come along... not going to be any competition though... hahaha

[Atomic]

Let me know when and where.
I prefer steak and cheese or smoked fish and coke zero.

[barty5]

Hows about a start at the cross roads from there feed out to point 2 on the map south right round the outside edge on the tracks back to thr crossroads then round the outside on the north side the back cross over and lap round the out side down past the lake and finish at the mx track gets a bit of everything in red yellow and blue with a bit of green thrown in.

[cheese]

And a GNCC style start.

[Hemex]

Ok... as the plans unfold...i think ill just stick to cameraman duties..lol

[barty5]

And a GNCC style start.

Shit thats means you wont be able to start:bleh: You knew that was comin didnt you:rofl::rofl:

[chop]

im in!!!! lets do it!!!!! when???? Ktmboy???

[cheese]

Shit thats means you wont be able to start:bleh: You knew that was comin didnt you:rofl::rofl:


Shut up!! at least I stay on the tracks!

[REDRIDER]

how bout a start down coast road to sort the boys from the fast boys, might spread the field a bit before hitting the trails.. gotta be backwards??, then its new to everyone.. criminal backwards sounds like a hoot...

[barty5]

If its stagered starts then it wont matter 5-6 bikes at a time 1 min appart each group and ill guess it will have to be like the 2 moons sign on at 5 pm then park can run as per norm and markings can be set up in the afternoon start at 6 on dark till after 8 so 2hrs should be heaps bbq and drinks at car park early feb late jan time to sort it.

[chop]

What will be the prize for the winner? I think a mass start would be better if we can.. Stagered start will be harder if dont have the numbers then you get the hassel of classes and lap scoring.... Would it be a kb only event? Tracks backward would be ok how ever i dont think having them run the normal way would be an advantage anyway as race lines and trail ride lines are different and a track never looks the same at race pace. How many laps? Could run it as a 2 hour xc

[barty5]

I think as you say a KB event only or might find we end up with huge numbers.

[chop]

Yep very true... Maybe as a kb christmas or new years event??

[camchain]

Like the sound of this hard-case-race idea very much. Pine cone trophies easy to make, so make plenty of 'em then I'll have a chance at winning something.

Enjoyed each and every one of the new (to me) trails on Sunday. Thanks for all the hard work Sandpit boys, outstanding. Found the woodchopper trickiest and hardest to read. Had a couple of inadvertant off-track excursions there. Always try to fit in a run down the trail of doom, and had a laugh at the sign by old carpark too. Top entertainment value all the way round.

[REDRIDER]

a mass start sounds like chaos, kinda cool but very scary, but a staggered start will encourage the not so confident to participate, I think youll find alot of people will come along, maybe more so than you would get on a summers saturday at the sandpit????, KTMboy's call at the end of the day??

[REDRIDER]

Updated map

heres a map I started ages ago, its a bit out of date now but how bout this for a loop or 3. trying to minimise crossover between faster and slower riders. i dunno something to look at anyway

Start = top left??

[Rupe]

I'm keen, mass start should be ok if it's only kb'ers. Just watch out for barty on the line, tried to kill me last time

[barty5]

I was thinking due to the parks opening hours and set up time that from the center out to beach anticlockwise round the out side back up throught the centre then round the outside through the super bowl clockwise right round the outside back the center cross over then clockwise throught the dipper and round to the car park using all the outer edge tracks.
this would require less time to set up and tape over tracks not ment to be use (as short cuts)
sorry dont have fancy pc to draw map

[REDRIDER]

updated the attachement in the last post, ill need a smoko break after 1 lap..

[Ktmboy]

Ok guys cool thoughts...shit I love feeding off others ideas, should have been a politician, nooo... I'm not uncle Helen in discuise!!(typo)

I'm starting a new thread under KB Offroad Poker Run (thanks barty5 for the charity angle, those Westpac guys deserve our support. And climinte, we think along the same lines) Cheers.

[krad_nz]

Ah, a poker run. I didn't realise it actually involved poker until now.
