    I gather if tards are going and Tranz man is riding 2 up it limits fun factor for single
    tracks and riding the south side river plateau !

    I dont run my 17's on a river adventure ride you carnt get in too any of the good tracks . its like taking a knife to a gun fight.

    The bread knife with oven gloves on the 17' sumos's

    These Photos could be used as a FAIL trying to cut and sharpen the tread on my fucken crappy Pirellis to go and ride up some single track , Nordieboy note the oven gloves are joined so it would make it interesting to use the controls lol. the Avon Distanzas are a good tyre but still not any where near a dirt tyre which would roost whole paddocks of dirt on to yah mate.

    You'd need the chair after that.

    One bonus (probably the only one) about trailriding a motard is the wide tyres don't get stuck in the ruts as often

    50km up on the North bank is pretty much the exit where we turn right and up on to Thongcaster Rd .
    I imagine you're at the stream just before that, a left hand bend and there's a surprise stream.
    I wouldn't worry about it and a little double back won't hurt if it comes to that.
