I had never seen that purple house before - they must have cut the trees backa lot.

Watch it pal or I'll be over to your place when I'm up over xmas & borrow the 9fiddy

looing at the river ??? The bank is undercut a bit , and the best way up is to hit the steepest bit and nail it. The easier looking way has really thick mud on it which is real slippery. (ask f cat).

Actually my rear end was pretty stable. The front was another story entirely.

And yes the jumps are cool going up , not so going down.

Are we going over one evening this week?

Have you got a day off or what time of evening can you get over here?

Haven't decided what day to take off yet. Wednesday, there just decided.

Name a time and I will be there. Other days are feasible too , just gotta knock off early.

Wednesday is good with me. (well really it's mtbing nite but the Maunga is so cool I can ride another nite).

How about 530pm at the carpark just past the rock wall? (since the wall carpark has gone) If you have to change the day I'm pretty flexible.

I'm expecting a good turnout from the NADS as well.

Classic mx fun day. Which is remarkably similar to Shane & family mucking around.

Kids racing, classics racing, modern bikes racing.
The modern bike riders could sit through the bumps. The classic guys didn't have a hope in hell.

Father/son race on the sons bike - that one is always a real laugh.
Some sons ride KTM250's. Some ride PW50's.

Shane on a twin shock RM370 had a good battle with a 2004 KTM300 and won.

The starts were fun.
Bike running, in neutral, left hand holding helmet peak.
Flag drop and gooooooo!!!

Shit my forearms and hands are sore!

The christmas classic meeting is going to be fun.
Motorbike soccer has been mentioned.

hang on a minute - not everyone can just gatecrash a NADS ride.

What are your credentials?

Have you ever crashed a motorbike? If so did you get off & laugh uproarishly & slap everyone on the back or weep silently into your hanky?

Are you of the opinion that tyre tread is just for those flash rich bastards that would rather ride safely & fast than spend their tyre allowance on chocolate fudge slice from Glouchester food parlour?

Would you ride down a very steep slippery track with not much chance of getting back up just to see if there's an exit?

Can you get completely lost within a km of the city centre?

Do you plan your rides around stopping somewhere for coffee/ beer & a perv?

can you lift a fully grown man & slightly plump KLR off a gorse bush?

If you've answered either yes or no to these questions then you are welcome to ride with us. If you are undecided about any of these questions then stop sitting on the fence & get committed - or not.

See ya there.
