    Then you slow down and down and down for the next corner and suddenly realise you're crawling along at 60-70kph...

    seen a mate hit a fence... very lucky but bad enough to keep him of the bike for a while, it wasnt a taranaki gate but more of a waikato fence with a taranaki rider...
    i wonder if thats where the name came from

    "Just keep it Pinned" - apparently one only gets into trouble when one rolls off the gas (good gravel riding tips in my sig link)

    speaking of high speed gravel action...i love it but sometimes get a bit carried away
    it always catches up with me on a tight downhill righthander..
    end up off the camber in a two wheel lockup hoping the longgrass will slow me up
    all the while trying to get weight forward and the guts to open the throttle hard!

    yeah there was a copy of this edited and matched to evanescence 'bring me to life' and the timing of the song winding up with the riding was bang on every time i here the song i visualise JC on the XR pinned on the Baja - unfortunately youtube removed it cause of copyright crap blah blah blah
    i should have saved it to my computer
