    Your backyard roads or trails?

    Thought I'd have a skite and show off some of the roads in my back yard, These roads and trails are all within 5-10kms from my house, so are handy to get to for some fun. They're genrally in good nick and free of traffic.

    So how about it guys, you got a great backyard road or trail handy for a quick blast when you need it?

    Aye! Cheap thrills are the best man.
    Going up there again today, gonna need a GPS or map before I start exploring some of the trails right up the back as it gets pretty confusing with no land marks to navigate by.

    Nah, paid the on road costs when I bought it, so there cant have been much trouble for them to do it.

    Awesome Deanohit.
    Where the fuck is Omokoroa anyways?
    Might have to get some trail tyres for the SV and come have a slither and a grovel, and then maybe some more grovelling.

    Tried to bling but I must spread it around, gave you too many in the T&A thread.
    So keep it up, I'll see if I can get some footage of my wee test track. Paved road but some good gravel patches to get sideways on!

    Went up the trails today, pretty greasy with this drizzle, so I didn't go as far as I would have liked. Still, I got about 15kms into the middle of fookin no where.
    Was some good deep pools, a hard base with the water about 30-50cms deep!
    Was interesting handling with the MT-90 on the back, the front knobbly would be gripping great while the back was fish-tailing all over the show.
    All part of the fun!
    The picture below was taken pretty early on, it got quite narly from there on, but of course I had flat batteries in the camera.
