Hey Reckless we should hook up for some two man practice sometime. I'm sure you could show me a thing or two.

Unfortunately I have nothing to offer in return other than being a roost target. :banana:

Rupe

25th March 2009, 18:14

I might make sandpit on Sunday Rupe? Not exactly sure, but I want to have a fiddle with my shocks in the sand/forest.
I go average in the fast stuff like the Mr Moto rides and piss poor in the forest so need the practice there.
Specially if I do the 2 man for fun with Ben. He's still not sure he wants to do it!

Not sure, if I can squeeze a ride in yet but just seeing what everyone else was doing this weekend.

Think I'm doing the 2-man with barty5 if he can keep up, so that would be cool if you guys go to. Father and son aye, who do you reckon will be faster, you or ben?????

Sorry rupe, didn't see your post until now. Did my usual trick of a quick scan round every now and then (when back to carpark) but didn't feel like going round asking the 'are you a KBer question.' Guess I'm bashful. We should stick a pine cone on our car roofs for an amusing secret signal code. One handguard might work too.

Yeah Steve was making it look easy. Very smooth and consistent. Funny you should ask about slipping out again tomorrow - was just thinking about it. Out of 2t oil and I really need to do some work but then again, really had a blast today so maybe mummy will write me a sick note.

Steve Johnson, is he on a 300exc? If so you guys passed me on the blue trail, I was facing the wrong way haha. A bolt fell out of my steering dampner and I was trying to find it lol.

28th March 2009, 21:56

Ahh bro I dont think I can make it really aye, im dead keen but the 200 is due for its 10hour service.. Plus I already made a small dent in the expansion chamber, gonna order one of those guards that you linked in the other thread. They cost $250 which I think includes both pipeguard and sump guard. I ride to rough, keep smacking stuff up haha. You up for next Saturday? I'll definatly be there.

29th March 2009, 08:33

Hahaha! Pinecone would work :P!

Yeh I did a couple of scouts through the carpark at around 12 id say. Didnt reconise anyone.. Was looking out for a KXF etc, saw a couple of dudes on KTMS thats about it, I was parked up the top.

Yeah get confusing to work out whos who. Found some mates to ride with pretty quick so wasn't lonley. Pretty sure I saw you leaving tho, we were playing on the trials area. Good fun that is, managed to learn to get over the tripple log thing and the tyres.

29th March 2009, 08:46

Ahh yep! I noticed the camo'd out DRZ400? True that, im yet to have a try on that section, looks good fun

29th March 2009, 15:32

I got there late, about 11.15 only had couple of hours riding, had to get home by 3.00:doh: but had a blast. bloody tracks were empty:woohoo: I only came across a father and son on a return loop otherwise I felt like I was out there on me own'
The RMZ was a blast, tracks I remember having trouble with on the o'l DR350 were like :woohoo: the only problems is Im not fit, every clearing I came across Id have to stop for a rest.
I had the old Nissan Nivara ute, was parked in the middle of the car park.

Reckless

29th March 2009, 19:08

I didn't get out there till 1pm but rode all the Reds except the Toi Toi and the Trail of Doom and a shit load of blues. Don't know if I found the Finisher or not but I didn't come across any logs that where to difficult to get over. Mind you after 3 tirns I'm bloody lost as usual.
Oldguy is right! There where bugger all people there. Did 2hrs 16mins on the gauge. Bloody thing stops counting even if you've still got the motor running, works off the front wheel, not like a moto minder, so you can't cheat, Bugger it! Was gonna try for 3 but arrived to late! Left at 5:10pm as he was shutting the gate. Pretty knackered by then. Actually think the blues and the reds are much of a muchness, some of those blue tracks get very little riding and they are quite nice to ride!
Was a good day!

Yeah Steve on a black 300. That was us going past where you were stopped. Noted 08 200 and wondered izzat vazza? Hard case to say gidday via the Net but not in person huh. Didn't go today. Got some stuff done but painful thinking about those riding while I missed out. Sounds like not many people up there today as well?
