Hey Gorgeous!

yea, its smee, since I saw you up at Brooklyn that day, I have got me an OLD DR350 now, and Ride Till The Red (james) took it around the brooklyn track last weekend at full noise for shits and giggles, he really did the bike justice, and actually flew it like a real bike.

Farm Bike's UNITE!!

Haha I was actually surprised at what was possible on the ole girl. Once I got used to the couch like suspension it was easy enough to jump everything on the track on it, albeit probably not with much grace!

No excuses now Sammy, start saving your brownie points for another day pass

I must visit this brooklyn track some time soon

I don't recommend the Brooklyn track when the wind is up - if you jump on the mx track you can get blown off course in mid-air or can get blown off ya bike at some of the more exposed sections. Sounds stupid but it happened to two of us in 80+ kmh winds nearby, on the track from Terawhiti to Oteranga Bay.
Call them on 0274427334 to see if they're open on the day, I think that they close on wet days?

Hi guys

A friend of a friend went out on his dirt bike yesterday and has not come home.

It is not known apart from somewhere in the Hutt - where he has gone. His level of experience is not high.

If anyone knows tracks etc that he may have gone to please contact me and I will feed through to the SAR team who are already involved.

So many uncertainties - if you bumped into a guy names Phil (welsh accident) green kwaka - yesterday while out riding CALL ME URGENTLY 021 404098.

Cheers

I was exercising the road bike this weekend. What places was your mate aware of? Karapoti is hard work for a newbie (like me) and harder still if you underestimate it and run out of gas like I have done or turn down some of the more feral tracks. However there are always plenty of people at karapoti and it's rare to go there and not see someone else, particularly on a fine day like yesterday. AFAIK Firebreaks are less used per expanse.

Red Rocks - the gate is closed on Sunday.
Brooklyn is a pay to use track and they get your details for the accident liability waiver etc.
Others here could tell you more than I could probably.

I was out Mungatuks yesterday (Other end of Karapoti) i saw one rider on his own think it was a later model Yamaha though (White plastic's kit) do you know the model of the bike? eg: KX250 or something just so i can try and remember seeing/ hearing a 2 stroke pass me or 4 stroke . ( Cause i would notice if it was a 2 stroke or 4 stroke ) Also wasnt there a big ride up in Foxton yesterday ? Do you think he would of gone to that ?

Also how does he get places ? Does he have a car and trailer ? If so can you give description of his car/ute or something.... so i can remember if i saw it or not

Where is this Brooklyn track, wouldn't mind going for a play on it on saturday. Any takers?

[Ride it till the red]

You know where the Brooklyn Windmill is? If not, it's off Ashton Fitchett Drive (I think thats what it's called). Head to the Windmill then just past it will be a large steel gate. Ring the number on the board next to the gate and they will open the gate for you. Keep heading down till you see a sign about the MX track, follow that right and down the hill some more. Then you'll come up and go past the Slipway drift track, keep going further still and eventually you'll get to the house where ya pay and sign the waiver. Then the track is just up the hill from there.

Would be keen for a jam but I'm still nursing a nastily broken hand. This weekend will only be 3 weeks and I promised myself I'd wait 4 at least.... Not to mention it's still swollen and multi coloured
