    mate you doing the good time scrambles, thats just the thing for the big bike, help build you confidence, did you do any of the maize paddock MX last year?
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

    Love to have you Mate!

    Oldschool, Even with a helmet vid it was very hard to tell how steep those descents where.

    Ah well next meet ?? scrambles or Moto ride???

    The G2 is a bit pricey so leave that till last, adjusting the throttle cam makes a big difference (it did on my 990) but you can also do it yourself with a file or Dremel tool in about 5 minutes.......not as adjustable as the G2 system but $200 cheaper, just buy a spare throttle tube so you can revert to original if you need to.

    Unfortunatly its not quite as simple as going from a 14 t to a 13 t on the front as the 13 t will make it a lot more prone to wanting to lift the front.
    Having actually owned the bike .....

    Would this not be the case either way? I'd expect that to be the result of lowering the gearing no matter which way it was done? Or is there something about changing it at the rear that does it differently?

    Ouch!! poor guy!! he has my profound sympathy. I didnt know this was a relatively common accident? I've heard of lots of ppl breaking collarbones but the puntured lung/rib thing is just NASTY. Seriously nine broken ribs?!! WTF thats just crazy. How did that happen? - surely not an extinguisher?
    Poor dude, please pass on my best wishes if you talk to him again.

    Was he all the way down in that gully Scott wasn't he? Did he come of a bike or quad scott?

    Then you saw another quad bouncing all the way down into the gully didn't you??

    he came off a two wheeler and bounced a long way down a steep hill, was prob 100 metres below the track, and to who how steep it was, you could not see him from the track above,

    while we were sitting there helping him, a quad came off the track into the same gully, he was prob 1/2 a km before where ian came off but it was a good veiw seeing the quad roll down the hill, the quad rider did not injure himself

    Poor bastard, he trumps my 6 + lung, did he break any of his spinal processes ?? I smacked 7 of those off as well. I feel his pain, absolutley nothing you can do about it but lie still, the most frustrating injury ever.
    Thank god for drugs and the discovery channel, takes about 3 months to get back onto the bike. This time of year it's like falling onto concrete.
    Get well soon Ian! You will ride again!

    Hows the girl who landed on the extinguisher going? Was that you buffstar?
