We once stuck a knobbly and some DR shocks on the back of my Yammy V90 step through and took it out Wakapuaka and blatted around the little MX track out there until it died

Looks grouse babysteps. Get a better photo from the side a bit further back up!
How much? putting knobblies on?

BTW isn't a Djebel one of those balloons they used to send up during the war?

Thanks!!!

I belive Djebel is a region of the Sahara and I hope to but Knobblies on when the budget agrees but for now the Trailwinds will be fine.

The answer to the magic question is $3k. I think I got a pretty good deal

I recall now that the word Djebel is often used to describe the sound of water being pumped out of a drowned motor thru rhe spark plug hole.

Hey Team

Need a bit of advice from the Christchurch crew.......

I'm looking at doing my first overnighter this weekend and was thinking at Le Bons Bay via some of the routes on CooneyR's website.

Are Western Valley rd and Harman’s Track ok for a complete noob like myself??

Cheers

Well my first serious adventure (not trail) ride was over the Western Valley Rd and Harmans Track on my Djebel. They are good gravel roads (as the web site suggests) through the Port Levey side of Western Valley Rd is tight (single vehicle track only) and visibility around corners is limited. The Little River side of Western Valley Rd is steepish and steepens up going into some corners. If you ride it expecting to find a car around each corner you will be fine. These roads are not enduro tracks.

The only tracks out on the Peninsular that are of any note are the two in red - Robinson Bay and Takamatua Stock Tracks. I would recommend not trying those on your own if you don't have some good trail riding skills. The others are gravel/lumpy gravel roads of varying steepness/tightness of switchbacks.

Cheers R
