Canterbury Trail Rides?

[diesel pig]

I should have thought and messaged you, I did the Saturday, the three main tracks and what seemed like dozens of breakouts up to grade 3

After day 1 we considered the next day but didn't have the energy, a lot of the grade two would be main single track down south, the main track is mostly like a groomed farm track and very fast for a lot of it

Now I'm in Rotorua hospital with pancreatitus, I was meant to be in the boat back today

What a bummer way to end your weekend! I hope you get over it fast.

I have invested wisely and after several months on order now have a '26 Xtrainer. It's going to take about 2 weeks of evenings to modify it to how I want it but I am looking forward to it. The last one did 194 hours and was faultless, apart from a worn clutch slave cylinder. The big talking point, however , must be if the new Kawasaki 327 is the first of a Japanese wave that could blow the European bikes into the weeds. Yamaha DT200 anybody?

I had a DT200. First dirtbike at 30. (Well apart from PE175 at 16 I rode once before it was stolen.)
The step to a KDX was a big one.

Sounds great for the '26.

Hey, question of previous. How much travel does your rear pedal have? I'm fighting mine as travel seems excessive, swapped out seals, new hose, and now last night fitted a Chinese master cylinder as experiment. Still moves an inch. Mates Race version a cm despite same Nissin components.
