Wrights hill. But due to my age I'm afraid it was on my HMX500, which is less factory works bike and more Healing Industries .
My brothers mates did and he took some pics back then including Scrub-cross.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Ha! I was there from 79 to 84 in South Karori. I had a panther, the rims ensured I got a puncture or three every day until I snapped the frame lol. HMX500s were the only bike I could wheelie with any proficiency, but they had cranks made of butter!
I can remember pushing my panther up wrights hill getting passed by pe250's and pe400's thinking "one day all I will have to do is turn a throttle too" lol. And so it came to be with a poor old ts185er, then xr200 followed by rm125d. Great days!
I broke the frame but the neighbour welded it. A mates Panther broke the mags when he tried jumping the practice wickets at KNS school where I went. We'd ride around the Arena and get wet in the puddles. Best bit was back down the hill. Was pretty much closed up by the time I got my flogfed out XR250 and that was plain ugly with 23" front wheel and two knackered tyres and a skinny 17 Yr old.
