It was on TM, he had a 02, fully rebuilt motor done 0 hours, or this one, an '03 with only 25 hours on the clock from new. The '02 is still available for $1150.

We are doin another wife's and daughters day on Sunday I think! We will be parked up the top rather than down the lower car park. We should have 4 females (if Sammikins comes) and 3 of us blokes! Cya there as long as the weather doesn't beat us! Looks OK though we should find a bit of mud there this time!!!!

Tempting, but not if it's too slippery... Can I still come if I don't have a wife or daughter? :bleh:
Most likely Krad and me will be going to harrisville or patetonga if it's dry saturday, or maybe even a bike free weekend :gob:

At this stage it looks like we will be going to Thunder. I have had Tawny in my ear all evening, over breakfast, on the way to school and no doubt as soon as I get home from work and while we wash her bike. But wife won't be coming so it will be a dad and daughter day for us. Weather looks forecasted to rain on Saturday and coming right again on Sunday. Hopefully the wet clay will harden enough to make it enjoyable for her. Once she's used to the bike on the kids track she's keen to do half the B loop with me, ...her ambition not mine!

Sounds good mate Father daughter for me as well. My girl is only at the Learners and half B stage. We found a gate to go through which does 1/2 the B and back to the learners you can also do the very bottom bit of the MX track and get to it as well, so sounds good!

Haha that's funny! On the wet day I went, Hemi's 4WD Ute couldn't make it up the hill to the learners track and slid sideways and backwards, I would have loved to capture the expression on his face when he lost control.

Today before Tawny washed her bike she found out what a powerband was and did her first little power wheely. Man was she excited!

Yep should be good. He can ride around with Tawny. Once Tawny gets used to her bike she wants to ride around the convict too. Do you think he could make it around there with a bit of help from us?

I've just changed KX60 oil and looked the bike over, it's ready to go for tomorrow! Is you boys bike a KX80? Do you think Indy could try it?

Yeah takes a few rides, kept stalling mine at first. Watched the vid, thunder looked real good, noticed yoy didn't fancy the big hillclimb near the beginin. That hill can be a bugger in the wet, good tho

i test rode a 450 about 3 years ago, have to say it had a heap of torque, but it bogged real easy, i like the snappy instant power of the 2strokes. maybe i should try the fuel injected ones??

Awesome day at Sandpit today. We looped the convict all day. Kids just got faster and faster. Couple of times they would venture onto the learners track for a blast and there was another KX60 and a KTM something and a DRZ125 and a CRF150 to challenge. (THe KX's and KTM's dominated that showdown) Their KX60 is a pocket rocket. I gave it a burl and in second it revved out to eternity. I had to sit right ontop of the tank all the way around the learners track because the front wheel just did not want to stay down. WTF it had more zing than my KX125! They will definitely not get bored with this rocketship. Yay my kids can ride the big loops now!

Sounds like you's had a great day. How did Tawny find the powerband? She find the convict easy enough on that in comparison to was it the 100 or the PW she did it on the other wknd?

Tawny mostly teased with the throttle edging into the Powerband here and there, hasn't hit it hard yet. She's now assumed the Convict is her practice track. She'll be dreaming about it tonight for sure. She finds riding the KX way easier than both the PW and the XR. Lighter, more power and acceleration, plush suspension, easier to handle = more fun to ride.

thunder before and after got stuck in the bog hole after droping the bike going down hill cool day apart from the sore head


Looks mint, real keen to get down there whens it's wet for a play in the mud before it's shut.

Was a good day Rupe!

Good to see you there Jt, You shoulda tagged along with us mate after your warning about the biog hole all 3 of us agreed to go around it. LOL!! when we got to it we all had a go, stuff goin round it! The other two got stuck sorta not to bad but I picked a rut, two over from where you where, which looked like it had a good exit and got bogged good. I didn't go in tentitivly either had a good go, but man that mud sucked you under good. There where three of us to pull it out, and the grab straps I have where excellent, so no harm done!

LOL!! noticed you didn't try the big hill! It was OK mate once you got up past the first bend it was all good!!

Other than the bog hole (we did go around it the next few loops) Thunder was mint Muddy enough to make it interesting and dry enough not to be a pain in the butt!

Our lady riders had a real good day! All took a step up in their skills, doing the 1/2 B loop twice and another track we found with a bit of a mud hole to Challenge them and get them all muddy!!

Bloody good day had by all!!

Sandpit sunday, nowhere tomorrow, motomail haven't sent my clutch perch yet....Someone's getting a punch. :bash: (Ordered it from there on monday since I don't have time to get into a bike shop during opening hours during the week & that was the only nz place I could find online w/ one for my bike, got told it wasn't in stock but would be in in a day or two, told them it was sweet as long as I had it by the weekend. No reply since then & it's friday evening now...:no:)

You should have a look at Spectrum tomorrow, they have clutches including the perch so doesn't have to be the exact one.... Also Spectrum and Cycletreads will get them in if you ring them, easy to pick-up on Saturday or on Cycletreads late night then... just a thought anyway...

You should get a spare as well, for the $20 it costs it's worth it if you break it at the start of the day....

Hey there Spiked Punch!

Here you might be doing a few blues tomorrow at The Sandpit. I'd love to be shown a few of them by KTM Boy! What time are you going out there then? Can I tag along!
