[cheese]

Where is that?? is that the ride down near taupo?

Hey Lloyd, you can help tonsilitis a few ways (i used to get it all the time)

Gargle Disprin

Or there is an inflam product that is green and in a spray tube - this is the shit, you can't feel anything after taking this!! Get teh forte one, its stronger!

Or if you are a hippy (like my mum) there is a Weleda product called Aynus Pyriate - No shit its called anus pirate! - anyway if you can get past the name it works well.

[4stroke]

Nah thats on june 22 this ride is bout 1/2hr 45 min sth of hamilton trust me wont be disapointed so are you comin.

[4stroke]

yeah i know, just making sure im fit and healthy and ready to rumble!! i mean tumble

[barty5]

so any one else keen should be nice and wet.

[mattwood]

could be keen, pretty close to me. The old 125's not to keen on muddy hill climbs tho, and my tires arent lookn to flash.. could be fun haha

[xen]

Hmm, I went to thundercross today and it was muddy as. Goddamn that was hard trying to get up some of the hills, get up part way, stall or slide sideways, then have to try and start it with out sliding back down! Not to mention picking it back up x amount of times

Whats the best method for the muddy hills? I get that momentum is the key but on the bigger hills when i get slower seem to just spin the back out even when trying to feather the clutch.

Be keen for this if I can get my van repaired in time, but don't know how far i'd get if its gonna be muddy

[cheese]

What is your rear tyre like? you got to keep the wheel spinning to keep it free from mud.

[xen]

Oh yeah, was caked with mud when i looked at it, makes sense why couldn't get traction.. so just gotta turn round and blat it on a straight to clear the mud eh

[krad_nz]

Well.... I enjoyed the ride.

Cheers for the lift barty5. You and 4stroke left me for dead

[4stroke]

lol yeah we've been riding for a while now aye, you'll get better with time and more time on the bike. its all good man pratice makes perfect.

[barty5]

No prob glad you enjoyed day. Was a bloody good ride part from my rear tyre which i now know is complete shit in the wet checked its specs today medium/hard terrain kinda explains alot really never mind was still a good ride and new tyre in next couple a weeks should take care of the dancin rear.

[4stroke]

yeah was funny watchn you trying to hold it together, gets a bit interesting running out of front brakes on that dam steep downhill through the paddock.
