Even managed to spot Tarankai and Ruapehu today, visibility was magnificent!

Last two... And by the way all.....The DR750s is the fastest downhill bike out of all of these.....Aye, Mark, Dean and Andy..

Must be due to the aerodynamics of those bar mittens.

Naa, it those booster rockets on the sides....Got the last laugh there too.....Dino wanted to put his hands there to warm up. The ride home, I needed them, it got frikkin cold fast! Ran out of petrol in Morrinsville, too cold to fill up, just put it on reserve and hoped like hell it got home to Te Aroha. It did. I normally do about 440km to empty, this time I was there in less than 375km, damn, must have been trying to keep up with those Thumpers too hard...All I saw was dust and specs in the distance.

Nice pics, I can see the mountain in yours.

I wasn't sure what was happening with the rolly race and got left behind. Still would have come last as the KTM just doesn't roll that well Had to start it twice just to keep you guys in sight.

Brent got me into that down hill engines off racing, must go ahead and wait with the camera next time must look farkin hard case as a bi stander, espeically mark and his superman pose
cool day, i enjoyed trying to keep up the quick blat on the KTM was mighty impressive, i wouldnt want to ride it any longer for the fear of not looking at the XR ever the same again
awesome day, hopefully next time we get weather like that we make a full day of it

I did 420kms yesterday afternoon My arse is still sore. On churchill road I could barely see where I was going in the dark. Was down to 70-80kmh. While the H4 headlight on the ktm is better than the original 35w item it is still far from ideal. Heading down to hamihole again today for my daughters orthodontist appointment. Will be in the car though

[dino3310]

Down to 70-80klms, if you had both wheels on the ground you might see a little better.
the headlight on the XR is shite, but i wont be riding at night with my tyres any more

I didn't really have a choice. Well I did I suppose I could move to Hamilton but then it'd be a long way to work and I like being only 7kms from work. Plus my little town is cool. And I could have stayed on the main road but there was no gravel that way.

Excellent day Guys, will have to head northwest next time so Andy can get home in the daylight.

DR big the downhill racer. Wont mention your stationary off Mark.
