Desert Storm 2010

[CRF119]

I would like to do it i just don't have the money at this stage.

I mearly gave a answer to the persons question it does work well in race starts wear i have been takin out a few times myself. I am yet to make somebody crash on a trail ride so maybe you should stop your complaining as you have all just assumed i have taken ppl out delibritly.

For the guy complaining about slow riders dont hesitate to pass make sure ur arm is lower then theres that way if you come togeather your arm will lift his and make them vear of track. Works every time and its there own fault if they cant hear my bike coming they are deff. Maybe a bit mean but when helmets go on there is no friends

So you think the fellah with the loudest pipe has right of way?? I'd be a rich man if I had a dollar for every time I passed a bike with a pipe so loud the rider can't hear the faster riders approaching.

Sounds like race tactics not trailride tactics.

Nope, it's moron tactics. When racing there is this concept called sportsmanship; it's a myth that racing is 'no holds barred'.

One of the big differences between the fast guys and the _really_ fast guys is how they pass. The wannabe's think argy-bargy is fine; the really fast guys always pass with plenty of room and usually say or signal their thanks. And the really fast guys don't run stupid-loud pipes, either.

Kids are easy to spot but if im stuck behind some dork on a large bike (450) and he wants to hold me up then he had it coming.

Basicly to me and my mates a trail loop is a over size mx track and its there to be raced on that why the loops i do say expert not novice.

If you can't pass cleanly, you're a novice.

Yes and no. You can pick a clean line, initiate the pass and then the slower rider decides to take a mental line and get in your way, your already 10kph all up on him so it gets argy-bargy. Riding is dangerous, sometimes people get taken out.

Sure. But there's a big difference between someone swerving at the last minute resulting in an accidental coming together, versus deliberately taking someone out because you are impatient & unskilled. I would think both parties involved would appreciate which situation is which.

We got pretty lost many years ago to a bit to get back on track. There is a river between where you were and the desert road. Had to cross it on sand blast a few years back claimed a few.

Hmmm you made yourself sound like a TOOL, and you got slapped down for it HA HA HAH!!!
I find most of us out on trails are pretty decent types who enjoy the commraderie (spelling?) anyhoo...... sounds like DS was a blast and you all had fun - which is the main agenda isnt it?!! (unless of course taking other poor ppl out is your idea of fun and bragging rights)
I am counting down to Tussock Buster...... cant wait to be riding again instead of just reading about it, sounds like there will be heaps of us KB'ers there woooo hooooo!!

[L Rider]

Well put Buffstar. You'll always find idiots who think they're so much better than others - they forget they once were learners whether as a kid or an adult.
Like you i'm counting down to Tussock Buster - currently not riding due to injury (a cat scratch compared to yours though).

You obviously healing up ok then?

[Dingledoo]

I think I saw you go past when we were stopped for pics by the MX track - thought you were someone I knew for a sec, not a ton of girls around on 125 KTMs

Could have been me - next time I'll stop and say hello
