I'm probably due for a new pair of goggles soon anyway, hav to shop around for good anti fog ones, mine are about 3 years old now and scratched to buggery

Might have ago at taking out some of the foam at the top though,

As for the berm buster ride, not even going now.. parents reckon they want to sleep in on sunday instead of goin to taupo and enjoying the freezing temp down there..?? go figure..

damm it was cold and wet, but a haep of fun, we headed off early today as i took a small tree out with my head and it looked like it was gona piss down to. but a bloody good ride, if i added corectly we've done 380 kms of riding over the 2 days so that wasnt bad, feel poked now tho, think ive found a few muscles that havent been used.

Yep great ride

We just rode on the Sat, that was some fun in the slush and rain.
Never owed a Endruo Jacket before but went and brought a Fox Jacket last week and would have to say it was excellent. Perfect, not to hot and never got cold riding in the rain.

Had a bit of a problem with the bike, got about 10k's into the first 50k loop and the rear brakes started to lock on. Got stopped by some other guys and found the rear brake disc glowing read hot....brake line burst soon after I stopped from the heat. The next few k's were interesting with only a front brake. After over shooting a couple of corners and a few excursions through the trees got the hang of riding in a lower gear and using the engine braking into the corners.

Did 3 of the 50k loops and 2 of the shorter loops. Even in the conditions it was a fantastic ride.

yeah a good jacket makes the difference, ive got a spyke enduro jacket, got removable inner liner and removable sleevs.
there were a few guys on sat with just mx jerseys and they wernt happy aye lol. we only did 2 laps today, i had a major off and cracked my helmet on a tree damit so decided topack it up before it got worse lol.

I was there just for the Sunday, a mate brought an old XR200 over from Napier for me to ride as I didn't have my CR with me. Took a bit of getting used to, not much suspension, not much acceleration, and even less braking. Great fun though, had a real blast. Got drenched, but never cold, manhandling an XR round those trails made sure of that. The CR is gonna feel like luxury when I hop on it next.

Still, I was mighty impressed with the XR, it never skipped a beat and it never got stuck in the bogs - even blasted by modern MX bikes and quads that looked like they were buried up to their handlebars.

Go the mighty Honda!

Will be making a point of going to the next Berm Buster, even if I was knackered by the time I got back to Auckland last night.

Just got back, had a crook gut on Saturday and only did a 50km loop and broke a front spoke. Did sweep riding on Sunday and every break down was a four $troke that I attended too. And so many people have no idea how to start a four stroke properly once it stalls or falls over!
Was going to ride the Taupo MX track to day but Big Daddy Rat stuffed his knee and could hardly walk let alone ride.

thers alot of people who ride 4 bangers who dont have a clue how to start them aye, shocking, i had quite a few big bails and never had a proplem starting it again, even after it had been upside down for 5 mions or more.
