Dirt-scooting

[judecatmad]

LOL, wish I'd have had my camera with me at the weekend....

Saw 3 scooters tootling along the dirt track which runs along River Road (SH2) yesterday. Looked so funny - big clouds of dust being kicked up behind them!

I wonder if dirt-scooting will take off?!

Before I got a real dirt bike we used to take the NZeta off road,hooning around padocks and subdivsion contructions.It's off road abilities were on par with our skill level as 16 year olds.

I was on my mountain bike on the Eastern hills above the Hutt Valley. This is a firebreak/pylon access track, a mixed clay and metalled surface with lots of ruts in the clay from water erosion. There was a fellow riding a popup headlight katana heading towards Silverstream from Wainui Hill road. I'm guessing he had a key for the gates or had come up from Wainui.

If anyone knows a good venue, there's a race series waiting to happen...
