Bottom of the North Tag-O-Rama

Hey dave are you saying suzuki make shit parts, maybe you need to buy a kawasaki. In reality it'll be the risers on top of the orginal risers you have to fit your bars, putting extra leverage on the orginal mounting bolts, that is making the bolts bend easily, the weak point has just been moved from the bars to mounting system. You probably get less vibration through the alloy Bars though.

Cheers

I kinda like not havin much vibration tho!



And I like my bars not bendin as they're kinda nice ones!

[Paladin]

how can ya have a dry driving suit, if ya go in the water to get wet.......

cos it don't let any water inside like a wetsuit does, ie it stays dry on the inside! (and warm & toasty inside! I miss it already! )

(but a TZ7 would cheer me up! maybe I could swap my TZ11................?)
(NO!, stop that Dave, save the money, IDIOT!)

[Paladin]

New camera = back in the game! (Finally lol!)

TAGGED this afternoon!



I wonder where the Tag went next??????



Stay tuned............

[Paladin]

In honour of the Roadie who recently called us "Adventure Pussies" and due to the fact that this IS an Adv/DS forum, I thought it was about time the Tag got offroad and have a bit of tongue-in-cheek light-hearted fun at the same time!

OK, so it's not hardcore offroad, but I thought we'd give the Roadies a chance at the first offroad Tag! IMHO, this Tag is doable on a roadbike as I have no doubt Pete from Westport who did Big River Track on his Wee-Strom on the recent Invasion Ride, could've done it this afternoon on that bike!(and NO he doesn't have offroad tyres or a bashplate fitted! )

So c'mon Roadies, who's got balls big enuff to match those penis extensions you ride around on and take your bike to this Tag? You guys have so much testosterone I'm sure it'll be a piece of piss for ya!!!!


Oh and since some Roadies like directions to the exact location of the Tag, I thought out of consideration I should do the same for them for the first offroad one........

Adv styleeeeeeeee!!!!
(ok from a hip hop perspective its rubbish, but have a laugh with it anyway!)

Turn off the main road & over 2 bridges,
Look all around at the beautiful ridges,
At the end of the road, there's a map, have a look,
Or if you're already shitting it, you could always book!
Onto the track, OMG! there's puddles,
Just keep straight ahead,
And you can't get muddled.
Turn left, OH SHIT! Theres a steep down slope!
Blast thru the creek & up other side - roadies, u might need a rope!
Turn left, & the puddles keep gettin deeper,
Goddam it, my road bike was such a keeper
Keep going, over a stream - holy shit, a big rock slide!
Man that scared me, and I almost cried.
Over next rockslide, hundreds of puddles now,
Its gettin much rougher, you might shout "Holy Cow"!
Thank god.... the track's now gettin smooth as wood,
Sorry, you're gettin cocky before you should!
Go left at the main fork and then take a deep breath,
And then THROUGH THE BIG RIVER we call "Road Bike Death"!!!
Just round the corner....... you're almost there,
It's the sign in the tag pic..... just stop & stare!!!!!



Roadies it's only 6k offroad ......... each way! LOLOLOL! Best hurry tho or some Adv pussy will get there first!

Oh and if you'd really like to have some extra fun, time it gettin there for just as the last light of the day goes in order to get the pic, and then ride back out in the rain & dark like I did tonite! Its a blast!!!

And I took it easy on you; ya don't even have to ride up or down any steep, yellow, slimey-as-snot clay!



Have FUN!!!!!!!!

(The clue(for the Roadies) is in the photo!)

It should go this weekend as adv guys will be ridin right by entrance to it Saturday or Sunday mate!
Best get ya skates on!

Ya don't need a knobbly, HTFU and go for it!

If Pete can do the Big River on the Wee-Strom on road tyres & no bashplate, you can do THIS! Only REALLY tricky bit is the first river crossing with steep muddy/rocky entrance & exit - it'll be a challenge on yer road bike tyres in this weather - but you road guys are hard arses aren't ya?????? There's no huge rocks in the big river crossing, honest!



I went easy on ya - not even any steep slick yellow slimeysnot clay to ride up or down!!!!!



Go on, you know you wanna!
Ya don't have to be doin 250 k's on slicks to be on the edge gettin a rush - this'll get yer adrenaline pumpin for ya!!!!! Give it a try!

[Laxi]

you better believe I want to! just not much hope until it drys out a bit, I wheelspin on my lawn ffs

You need to get offroad and learn some proper clutch & throttle control then!



Any more lame excuses? LOL!

[Laxi]

[WuZards-Eugene]

Im gunna take my ZX10 up there an show those adventure pussys how its done.

That's the spirit!!!! You might even start to understand why Adv rides are a rush!




Only, go tomorrow while its still pissing down with 500 deep puddles to ride thru and the steep river entrance/exit is slick as snot, otherwise it doesn't count!

use the scooter, mate! if a DR can make it...

[Paladin]

LOL!

Re-read the line "have some tongue in cheek light hearted fun!". Am not fightin!

We don't do ego driven serious digs at people in this forum - just havin a laugh with the Roadies mate, no serious disrespect meant, some Roadies are cool as, just like some Adv guys are wankers(KLR riders for instance! LOL!)!!!!!
