Go mad!

Haha. Nice one.

I'll have to get some better shots. That was a bit of a fluke, with the camera sitting on a bank, set to a 10 second timer. It was a bit rushed.

Did the Makairo the hard way (it isn't actually that much harder). Very slippy on shit tyres. Like riding on snail snot. Most of the track had water running down the main rut. I was glad I got through without too much drama, as it's not really a good track to do solo.

Must learn to wheely for wheely week.

Ok..........I get bored easily.

Try it on the GSA solo.......

What's that monster rut about 2/3rds the way through the track like now?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not too bad. A lot of quads been through. The track's in the best shape I've seen it in many years. Still be a challenge on the GS, but not quite as bad as that last time you went through.

I think it was more like went over, under, off, around, and nearly back, rather than through. I'll have to give it a go on the KLR next time-I've learned.

speaking of wheelies........who knows how to do them proper here?? what is the secret technique to stay up when changing gears.

Trick is to be powering on fairly hard when you change up. The hardest thing to conquer is the fear the front is too high. Once you are over that then the bike is easy to keep up in any gear...but make sure your foot is right on that brake pedal because if you start to go over a good hard stab brings the front back down quick. Practice in a good flat paddock in nice soft ground, unless of course you have a hankering for gravel rash. Body Armour , knee pads and gloves, plus a good helmet are the go for this caper until you get real good at it. Otherwise it just plain hurts, but looks funny as hell to your mates. If they are good mates they might help you get up again...unless they are still pissing themselves laughing.
