    Attack on Cnut Hill - dirt bike style

    today well very soon.. we are going in to southerlands track to have a play, dirt bike style....

    we going to explore the old sawmill track at the top by the cattle stop which should come out down past the hut..

    after which we be heading up the nasty rock fall track out to the beach and back in to the hut again,, have been told of another side track in there so we better check that out as well..

    my weapon of choice today will be a KDX250 which im sure will throw me off at some stage during the day....

    a report on the days carnage will be posted more than likely from my hospital bed...

    You should measure your arms before & after the ride Joe. Last time I rode a lil 2 stroke I swear my arms were another 2 inches long (cue knuckles dragging on ground jokes)

    I take it it's not pissing down up there?

    not yet...

    edit: and literally as I posted, it started coming down...
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    Probably a KDX220.
    Can't trust these KTM drivers.

    So whats the story with the bikes now? I can't keep up with what you've bought, selling, wanting, borrowing???
    I've been looking at a few DRZs on Tme- If only I had a few more grand I'd get one as a a lil play thing.

    Awesome Joe. How many made it without a push (or tow)?

    I've still got unfinished business in there, as I haven't been right out to the coast.

    Luck is right. Try a fat 650 with road gearing and a worn E-09.

    Oh, and I rode all the way down Cnut also. That was a bit hairy.

    Hell Joe that's a rough looking bunch you went riding with - not like us civilised cucumber sandwich advriders.

    The guy wearing shorts & no gloves must be invincible. And who guessed the brown eye is still alive in Masterton


    Congrats on conquering the hill.
