Had an awesome ride today with Nordie, WW & paul. Did some gnarly climbs &descents - lots of fun. PAul & WW sure can ride - pity tho one of the KTMs couldn't keep it's front wheel on the ground - must have had weight differential problems.

The Dr & KLR kept those Austrians honest with some clever chugging up the step bits. I had to cut it short when my foot peg dropped off. Had a cruise back down the road getting a few odd looks from hardcore MX rats.

My kind of riding

[warewolf]

Ya did the KLR proud.

We found some more steeeeep tracks, revisited some scenic tracks I hadn't done for a while, and discovered a sh!tload more stuff to explore, eventually popping out back at Thomas Rd.

Plenty of hills to be conquered still. I wanna have another good crack at that steep bit at the bottom of the sun-in-your-eyes track; it will need momentum 'cos there's eff-all traction to be had for an adventure bike

[NordieBoy]

Your KLR must have leprosy man. Things just keep dropping off for no reason

[warewolf]

Could be worse, if it had syphilis then important things would drop off...

[NordieBoy]

Then it'd be fcuked.

What fell off? and are the bits still there?

[Padmei]

Hey thats a bit hard Nordie.

The footpegs must have been loose since Reefton as there has been a strnge noise I couldn't work out. Given the big drops it took & having to slide it across the rocks to get it in position I have to say that there's no damage to it. So much for it having "too many plastic bits to break".

I omitted to add that Nordie too can ride his beast. Pisses me off tho that he doesn't drop it.

May have to have another go next wekend. I love it that theres awesome riding 5 mins from home

[NordieBoy]

Warewolf dropped his though

[Woodman]

Nice bashplate Colin
