Nelson Rideouts - Where next?

[JATZ]

With a bit of luck we might be able to get the whole nelson adv riders there.

mygsxer get yourself a lil bike

We may have to form a club. We could call ourselves something like Nelson adventure dual sporters

NADS

I've got a great idea for the stickers too

hhmm.. I wonder if someone would notice if the mighty KTM didn't come home for another couple of weeks...

Naaaah, he''ll never know

Cool then I'm in.

Starting mantra now:

Must stayupright, must stay upright, must stay upright.................

Yea right........Tui anyone ?

[NordieBoy]

Who is actually going??

Anyone done a laid back b4 on a adv bike??
I dunno much about the laidbacks or the tracks etc, but didn't think they were suitable etc etc.
Bloody keen to have a go though.

Warewolf has done one on the 640.

I usually use the XR250 so should be quicker on the DR

The B-grade sections are usually suitable for kids on 80's but kids on 80's are often mad little buggers.

If it's not too wet then some good tyres and you're away.

Last time I rode Kikiwa it only had 1 or 2 b-grade bog sections but the views...

Cant be too hard......................
Cmon, you lot. If nothing else it'll be good for a laugh.
Might even have to stop at the Belgrove for a quiet one on the way home?

uumm.. What is a laid back...?

Laid Back Cross Country - All over farm tracks etc.
Go out when you want, stop when you want, fall off when you want.
BBQ usually there...



Probably less ice than this one...

Hows the bike searching going Jen?

[warewolf]

Yes I rode the 640A on the last Laid Back at a different venue. It was hot 'n' dry. Hard rocky base with lots of (optional) A-grade very steep loose downhills, with the occasional uphill bit on them. So nothing to really trouble a porky under-tyred under-suspended over-weight adventure bike. In the wet, you might struggle if it gets even remotely boggy or greasy - so get in while the weather is good!!

I did have to stop after nearly every lap and crank up the suspension clickers, and I did basically destroy an admittedly already-used front tyre in one day by breaking 80% of the side knobs off. Helluva fun day, really showed that the 640A is an off-roader at heart, but quite tiring on the big beastie (versus say 96kg of 2T with better & more suspension).

Will have to make an effort to go if you lot are going to put in a showing.

I could even try getting the XR out there for peeps to have a go on to compare their adventure bikes to a real enduro bike
