    I don't think it was that the filming stopped, Nordie - I just think you may have ended up on the cutting room floor - who would have thunk it, a bunch of young adonis like motorcycle hellions that make up the NADS???

    Met Haddon at the golf course. He's looking for forks without pitting for the F650. Met Warewolf halfway up to horse bridge. I did every side track as far as they could be ridden.

    Including the river crossing at the bridge on 'tother side. Which was a leeetle deeper than I was expecting...

    I'm surprised (again) how well the 705's went.

    Even a year ago I would have been hesitant trying some of the tracks with knobs on after this amount of rain.

    Only took a couple of pics...

    TBC...

    Tomorrow would be a good day for a ride in the forest if the forecasted storm hits tonight.

    Anyone got a wee electric saw? Come to think of it I found one of them big two man saws under the inlaws house today.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Hmmm could look like a waka ama carrying one of those on the bike.

    Saw WW cruising past Branford park. His bike still looked meticously clean- kinda sickening really

    What do you guys use to clean your sliders where the fork seals touch?

    Mine has gaitors, gators, garters, fork boots so dirt doesn't get in there.

    The water was up at Horse Bridge...


    South off the Summit...
    I went back up to the left...


    The last pylon track...


    Balrog & Magic Fairies bridge is no more...


    It looked like it was going to ba about half wheel deep...

    It was wheel deep with a lip that stalled the bike

    The diggers made it difficult too...


    Went along the Mt Richmond Rd as well...


    That was fun.

    The hand guards and screen worked well and without getting in the road at all.

    Anyone else shit themselves with that ferocious storm last nite? The sky was totally blindly white with lightening, a thunderclap shook the house it must have been right overhead. Hail lashed the windows - & all while MrsPadmei was over in Blenheim
