    Cheers MATE!
    But I'm happy enough with my progress for my age and only 160 hrs total on an dirt bike
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    Their just picken on the old guy mate!! NO kudos for them though!
    NA! I like to try and keep up, even though they are 15-20years younger and are racing. But I've always been immature LOL!!
    Overall I'm pretty happy with Sunday actually. I last rode with them about a year ago and they had to wait for me for ages at every intersection etc. On Sunday I pretty much kept up with the bunch without any obstacles tripping me up and them having to all wait for me. And after they left I went on and did another fast (for me) hour or more. Did just under 3 hours seat time in an afternoon's fairly quick sand riding. So they can say what they like I'm OK with my improvement over the last few months. I can feel my muscles now but I'm not slaughtered like I used to be either so I'm really enjoying my riding at the moment!!

    yep happy with that!
    Kept my place in the Que with a bunch that pretty much doesn't ride but races everywhere LOL!!!
    Not taking it hard, I'd rather be Mr May in your bunch than the Townley in a slower bunch! There's always someone faster eh! unless your name is Birch!! LOL!!!

    Where we riding next week?
    Was thinking about Fells, seeing it was posponed (I quite like the fast suff).
    But if I'm serious about the T100 I'd probably be better trying to get my ride time to 4 hours with less rest time out the sandpit?
    Say 2-3, 1.5 hour non stop sessions?? That might get me through 2-3 laps if I'm lucky and its not pissng down at the T100???

    Don't you like the nickname Evan gave you??

    Your doing well mate, just pulling your chain haha. Everyone used to have to wait for me, now I have to wait for them

    Ken fells might be cool, only tried one of those type of events and sucked at it, so prob just go as would be the best way to learn.

    Nah, just had a look one day. They don't do practice sessions so guess you just have to jump in and give it a crack

    How are you liking the 150, they are an awsome bike from what I have seen of them, and welcome to the orange side.

    I havent riddin my bike since we had a play with the suspension, didn't get a chance to get any riding in over the long weekend.
    want to have ago at Fells farm, but thinking i should go to the sandpit first just too check out what the bike handles like.

    Oh what to do.
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.
