    How would the poor sod who got 110th feel to be beaten by someone riding an old twin shocker, drum braked XR250...

    NordieBro took out the South Island Enduro series on a 90's RM125 this year, so he decided to challenge himself a bit and do it on my old '79 XR250 next time around

    The poor sod who got 110th is our very own TrialsRider
    I'm going to enjoy reminding him of this every chance I get...

    Well not every time, coming last the only way is up or not at all.

    i should know.
    i look and wonder about what it’s like to do these events, but no time.
    just enough to ponder.

    It's dodgy, but everyone is coping.
    Well, NordieBro wasn't allowed to go up Pigeon Valley and get his 4WD from his bro-in-law's place. Almost everyone is coping...

    Where'd everyone go?! Just bought a 2018 WR250R, still have no riding ability, but would love to tag along if there are any post covid ride outs planned....

    Great question, it's in Renwick so I haven't got it in my actual possession yet, but it only has 381km on the clock so the chances are pretty good!

    Enthusiasm is more important than ability :-)

    Still a few of us around and itching to get out for a ride once lockdown ends.
