If you can see the amount of mud that is in Riverhead at the moment you will see why.Originally Posted by Factoryjohn
the tracks are already rutted up with a 6" layer of mud. It looks worse than the pussy pounder last year as its hard enough just walking them.

Had a couple of dryish days at the Head, could even be dusty for Sunday.... might pay to pack the fire extinguisher.

Fact is that it will be wet and stop trying to pull the wool over every bodies eyes.
If you had made it a TTR event or better still MNZ had relaxed the rules then you would have had another 100 riders participating.
Perhaps a non MNZ operator will start doing enduros if MNZ can't sort their shit out.
Yes I would have wanted to do this event as well.

As an a side the alia'is that you use on this forum are becoming very transparent. Not a very professional look from an incorportrated MNZ club... you know who the hi jackers are.
btw its actually not as slippery as u would expect in there at the moment.. (no joke)

I realise its tongue in cheek stuff but joe average really wants good info on what the rides going to be like.
Just can't believe what MNZ are doing as it looks like they, with ACC and the Dept of Labour want to money grab and put a levy onto trail riders yet they exclude unlicenced riders from race events.

I'm a bit like Mike McRoberts in that I'm the man on the ground.
It's another sunny day at Riverhead, Ken Ring has predicted a fine day on Sunday with the slight chance of an earthquake in the arvo...go softer on your rebound and all will be sweet.
Just had a call from my old mate Steve Crow and the Boobs on Bikes girls are entering, should be an awesome event.
I bet KTMboy doesn't even believe in the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy.

Maybe on the numbers, I know three riders who were going down who now can't & that's not including Vin etc, having said that from memory the last Riverhead enduro I was at with a TTR included didn't blow the world apart with big numbers, that forest has a reputation to well earned to get big numbers I think, it's a shite load of fun, but damn it's not easy.
Kinda curious why you could not have done a Woodhill enduro though( The Whangaruru Enduro was not run by a MNZ affiliated club, well any club really, was a Bennett/Nield event ).

Umm, enduro riders are notorious for bullshit when it comes to how hard any event/ride will be, heck half them would describe a Mt Cook ascent as an easy hill and the other half would say it's a little tricky.
The MNZ/ACC/Dept of Labour situation is worthy of another thread no ? ( I think whilst a good idea on one level it's a very slippery slope looking at what the b****rds did to the Road rider ACC levy ).
nadgery as
The average Joe rider does get the full run down. With all the Enduro's ive competed in there's always a writeup on Silverbullet on what to expect. This is a National Enduro, I don't think MNZ register riders will give a rats ass what it's going to be like. They'll ride anything, everyone knows what to expect with Riverhead considering it's winter aswell.

Looking forward riding in Riverhead again! I bet the boys have set out a fantastic track like always too.
told ya so
Iv been riding for 3 weeks on my jr80, I beat all my friends around our paddock. I think im ready to start racing nationals, cuz my friend said he once beat rory mead round the nwih on a pw50, and I always win when we race so im gonna go to riverhead and race expert in the pro class. You guys seem cool, you reckon I could win nationals and get a contract to race in amerika?
Where can I find new tyres, the jr is getting a bit squiggly on super grippy clay, or should I just wait till after I win riverhead? then ill be sponsored right?
we may just go where no ones been
Forum whore
Upgraded then?
Broken bikes wanted, pm details
Scooter boy
Not funny... Dry.
Moped rider
orry MNZ rules not the clubs.
BTW- Prodigal son Birchy is returning for this event as is Rory Mead who has picked up a temporary ride in the GNCC series
in the USA for JG Offroad on a Honda. (Where he finished 8th in the XC1 class on Sunday).
Should make for some hard fought racing.... worth coming out for a look.
Man flu gone now.[/QUOTE]
Jason Davis is back in NZ as well and might give the a pre-production 350 XC-F a run
Birchy is sticking to a 2 Stroke!
