Nice shots Nordie. Good to see ya pulling out the big camera.

Great pics Fran.

One of the few times having Bartsyndrome has paid off.

DRZ through the puddle is all class.

Nordie gets a Text 'Um, bring a strop and a camera.'

Cool. Just added it to my vids thread too.
Forgot all about our little Yamasaki riding friend

These were from yesterdays crooze in Hira...
A cool little track was found that I wasn't sure how long it'd take to get back up.
A hill was encountered that I knew was going to be dodgy but it was more dodgy than that.
A rain rut was found that was waist deep and 1m wide but narrowed to 30cm

I also scored a CRF230'ish front number board

Wasn't too sure about the back up bit over there. Quite narrow and steep/rough.

Dodgy hill. Even looks steep in the photos. This one leads down to where Woodman and I got stuck at the bottom of a blind firebreak and took quite a few goes to get back out.

Got half way and had to do a 100 point turn...

Tried to get a proper pic of the rain rut but the bike kept sliding closer to it and if it went in it wasn't coming back out in a hurry. Had to walk it down. Bike on the right and me on the left of the rut.

You mean you went back down that hill that ended at the bluff????

I went up my hill by sharlands central rd cos I was feeling confident. Fell off same place - broke same mirror... I reckon the BM would get up there tho.

Whats with the seat?

No no no no no! - Sod that!

I went up the hill from the bottom road, past the entrance to "that" hill and continued up...

Firstly I just need to say... Stand up!

Sacrifice a $2 shop mirror to the gods at the bottom.
After the KLR gets on the dyno, it'd get up there too. More bottom end...

It's my "may do something or go somewhere stupid" seat.
A lot lower, narrower, lighter and is so uncomfortable it makes you stand more.
Also scratches and mud would only improve the colours.

Hori bay.....

T'morrow.....

I'll be heading through Nelson about 4:00

Hmmm I don't think so. Fri nite is movie nite with the lil ponies. Have a good one- the evening will be beaut out there.

Toy run on Sat morning. It's a fun ride & good to see all the different bikes out. Be there or be square

Wots the details of the toyrun?

Bout time I did one maybe

Leaves 10am Cambridge st carpark behind Harcourts Richmond. Bring a toy for the kids (usually millions of bloody soft toys so I try to bring boys toys.) Have a yak - look at funny bikes. Get on the bike & ride like Hells Angels into town toTraflagr centre - get hot & have sausage fizzy drink.

The thing I like most about it is the public really love seeing all the bikes & I think it is good PR.
