Canterbury Trail Rides?

[SVboy]

Yes Grasmere was an awesome ride. I was buggered after two laps but managed to do the third Enduro, with a little help. Enduro 1 and particularly Enduro 2, bugger that! I will leave them for pros like Dangerous! My KDX will probably have its last ride with me at a Conway coast next weekend, then out comes the Beta Xtrainer of electric start goodness. And Kick on Mr Streeters diesel! That
it200 will be traded on one of those new fangled Honda CRF230s before you know it!

Incredibly unlikely, Beta 300 maybe but not the short arse version

I've read quite a few reviews over the last month on them as a friend I know is going to get one, looks like they only really lose out against the 300RR in faster more flowing stuff

yeah... well he showed me today...

so, its like this in a tru dangerous fashion... ohh ok I fucked it all up again.

so departed over the road over the rail line look there goes the novis route, better take that as the boy (10yrs old) will crack the shits If we go full send... well apparently the novice loop ran parallel with the main track ie around Kickahas piss poor attempt at mud plugging.. but this dumb blind ranga seen a 4x4 track and thought thats our novis loop... yeah well couple a k up the RETURN TRACK yes the wrong way, I seen a red arrow... sweet thats us of we go... a bit of rock hopping cross country short cuts (hey we were 1st on it) we.. well I ended up to the tank in a fucking swamp... 10mins later after I got the fucking thing out a group of well set up professional riders rocked up with all the kit n shit, and all but one got stuck... FFS guys piss off to a enduro loop this is for us novices... well one knight in shining armour helped me out, yeah got stuck again and again on the kids bike, only cos I helped him out and he said that boys got some balls and ya not doing bad ya self on a 30yr old bike... these enduro loops aint easy... FUCK... FUCK again some bloody how I ended up going the wrong shitting way... any how went back down the access rd which apparently is the return rd and back to pit for a breather... well done son ya done ya 1st enduro loop.

noted wile trying to get the heart back to a half decent beat that we had pitted next to that cunt Kickaha... SHIT could this day get any worse...

round2 north this time mean track up up and up wicked view of the Mak jet boats boosting up it... then came a mean decent shaley loose shit and steep as buggery, all good lets do this boy, well 2/3 the way down he ground to a halt, I walked back up to help I held the bike Victorious on the other side, when out of the dust came a out a control klx with a fat shella astride trying to gain control, had to be that arse of hers pushing the wee klx past any reasonable speed it should not reach, fuck I couldn't do anything she took out my boy sent him 2m face planting the track, poor wee bastard (yeah my bastard) got up and said he was ok, still in shock he got on and rode down... fucking good on him I was proud, tho hes saw as hell now.

... river crossings.... yeah, ok so pulled up behind 3 guys decent flow rocky slimy... yeah I was warned to walk it across but with 10 guys standing around upside down bikes and the clown in front hydroplaning it across I figured 'I Got this shit"
hmmm... both me and the kdx were looking up through the water from the river bed fuck this is weird... my knight in shining armour brought me and the bike back to were it was easier to breath, and the next 30 mins was spent with the bike upside down and soooo much water coming out the plug hole, shit how long was I down there for... to fucked in the heat my night got the bike running again.
Mean while my boy went up stream and crossed meeting up with us... looks at me shaking his head... christ I coulda strangled the wee shit.
Rest went ok, awesome ride the kdx running better than ever wit freshly cleaned power valves... fuck this Im going back to road riding... till next time...

and who was that knight

I think Mr Streeter has used all of your horsepowers on that enduro section. Also using those drum drakes on that decent! More man than most!
Yes the xtrainer is down on power compared with a 300rr but that is the whole point. A linier power delivery and heaps of torque off the bottom.

He did mention not being able to one finger brake

3 laps and 96 km's at Conway coast trail ride today, each lap got faster, sat just under 100kph down the beach.
No crashes or injuries today. So that's a win. When Kickaha joins the conversation, he'll tell you how many Km's he achieved I'll just say it's a new record for him.

I think I got at least 9-10km and 3-4km of that were pushing it

[F5 Dave]

Yeah there was the last Horowhenua ride today. A series of two.

Of course I missed it. But I did manage to wash my bike from the last ride 4 weeks ago. Straighten gear lever and general maintenance. Then had to to have a rest

No wonder you gave me the finger as l cruised by on the KDX of total reliability! On another note, what a great ride. Challenging main loop. I did Enduro 1'and 2. I would still be at the bottom of the gully of 2 if it was not for the help of good friends and helpful riders!

[F5 Dave]

Ooh he's rough on gear.
