Not gnarly is good as I'm running road gearing and tyres at the moment.

I need to do a reality test of the bashplate.

great ride today Nordie, got a bit gnarlier than we planned though. there are a lot of good tracks around there aye.

The x country track parts were cool, I wouldn,t like to do it in the wet though.

Just got out of Hira last nite at 6.04pm as Mr armourguard man was locking the gate - Take note early evening forest forragers

I didn't can it...

Even rocks are afraid of our Nige. They'd rather disintegrate than hit him

I use BLENDER.
It's a bit full on for video editing as it's designed for making full animated movies but it works and is free.

Oh and there were only 2 "interesting" people on the whole ride.

We passed the first on the way to and on the way back from Hori Bay.
#1 - A mountain bike tourist loaded up with everything including an acoustic guitar in a softcase strapped to the front panniers of the bike.

#2 - The guy on Maitai Face Road on the scooter with the L plate parked with the seat up and a dog chain tangled around the kick start. He said there was no problem but.....

Met an interesting young fellah m'self yesterday, his A100 had broken down just this side of the Owen. He was riding back from Chch

Gave him and his gear a lift back to Nelson on the back of the Trumpy

**NordieBoy** · 12th October 2009, 19:43

Wouldn't need too many tiedowns for an A100.

Ride up there Woodman said Nordieboy

ok here I go he replied,

Hang on a second while I get the camera Nordieboy says.

That conversation could never end well.
Bloody good ride that, if the klr didn't have the IMS and decent handguards that wee off woulda been carnage.
