Beautiful day for a ride out near the Coast with views to Motanau, 3 laps (no enduros because they suck) bit tired at the end of it, had a go on a 350 Beta filthy four stroke which was surprisingly good, needle position change also didn't do shit for the carb, someone got a helicopter ride so I hope they're doing ok, good day out

That was a stunning ride. Amazing views. We did 2 laps and the first enduro section twice. That first section of the main track was great fun.
The guy parked up beside us was one of the chopper passengers. He had an old YZF426 with cams and shagged tyres both ends. Not the ideal trail bike...... Lap one-out the gate, down the first hill, through the bog and he pinned it up the hill. Hit a small bump, became very airborne, parted company with the WZF, and broke his leg on landing.... What was the story with the guy 'resting' halfway up that first hill climb? I think he was chopper passenger no 2. Great effort by Precision Motorcycles to organize such a good ride. Bit gutted I didnt man up to do enduro no 2. Apparently the third enduro was rather special......

I'm jealous.
We attempted the All in All out Vinduro / Trail Ride at The Farm yesterday, riding area just south of the Bay of Islands. The weather forecast was correct, it hosed down all morning and we were stupid enough to take trials bikes.
Managed to ride 300 mtrs up the first clay track before tyres and boots clogged into solid balls of spooge. Skied the bikes back down and settled in to watch the time trial section beside the pits. Carnage ensued as the course twisted up and down a steep grassy (and gorsey) hill, getting slicker every pass. The very heavy gravity caught a lot of riders out..
It's been a long time since I've seen so many battered bikes and riders. Anybody who completed all the loops and timed sections is a bloody hero!

Not sure but apparently he looped it, he had someone else with him when we went past so we didn't stop and I thought that's who the chopper was for, saw another guy with the medic with probably a collar bone guessing by the sling
Waiting for Streeters video to check out the enduros

Just watched Streeter's enduro vid, If you got through the first one ok I reckon you'd have managed the others
It could have been worse

That is so Sunday! Trials bike is no good in that stuff.
Gotta man up and take the CRiM out for the next one.

Funny how camera makes things seem flat, but then you see them turn around and get some perspective.

Well, nocked off work early cos it was a bitch, got home, 27* day so steak eggs n chips on the barby, fitted the last of the new parts on after a full rebuild... And down the drive over the river around the corner and there the pokie wee puppy was...
Back home soaked but cooler, park it up and crack a beer in the shed... No so bad after all.
Bloody amazing how quite and smooth it is now and heaps of down low... must have been close to emploading stroker styles...

Ohh, Deep Creek, nice. I'm a bit surprised at your remarkable taste.
I spent last night applying graphics to new plastics. Of course the fancy Italian plastic marked for the right year isn't a match, the rad guards are different. The Chinese graphics are a match for original plastics. Some fairly involved interpretation with scissors required.
So almost done. Virtually the whole surface has graphics, and I'm thinking having spent 2.5 hrs with another 0.5 to go; how do they do this in the factory? (better and quicker than me obviously, but it still must take them an age at Italian wages.

Do you fall off so often you've fucked the originals ?
