Waiouru Adventure Ride (WAR) 2011

[Night Falcon]

I am glad you have spotted the majestic way these two go together; although horses used in the same context as KLRs usually involve
"the KLR has limitless horses" or "the abundance of horses on the KLR" or the other way (ie the similarities between the two) usually horses are referred to thoroughbreds - so apart from the semantics ......................carry on

sounds like a great weekend BTW

Actually I thought the klr brigade aquitted themselves admirably over the weekend (with the exception of one ageing example that needed a bit of TLC). But alas only the old naggs go to the glue factory and there ends the simalarity

whoar....DR's get that far off the ground? Noice

That really is a bloody impressive jump!

[Woodman]

Jealous,



Bart that DR jump pic is the best yet.

Edit, should have mentioned the riders skill too/

Without taking anything away from the jump, or the photo, I think he was lucky to be wearing a full face helmet. The landing was hard, & he hit the cross brace (which one of the pictures shows). Otherwise he might have come up spitting teeth.

Here's from another angle

Hey Gav have to hand it to you that was cool man, lucky it was not a KTM you were on, they seem to snap in half with that kind of stress

A few more highlights from Friday (sorry to the guys with sucky internet)















Plenty more to come.

Plenty more to come.

thats whats worries me

[bart]

Some more:

By the way, I've fixed the resolution problem through photobucket, so the photos should be beterer.







Check out the discarded 'green smoke' canister under the bush.

Everyone was asking, "why so many photos of Mark"?. Pure awesomeness, that's why.











it doesn't get much more styley then that.

[bart]

MXNUT on his missus's DR. Treating it real nice.



And he had the cheek to complain about the suspension. Looks fine to me....

Do you feel better now that youve got that out of your system?

I only fell off 3 times - so I'm getting better

All part of the plan;
Gun it in second, take off, wave with left hand, brace for landing, kiss the front brake hose to tell the old DR she's still got it!
Oh yeah!

[Rosie]

Loving all the photos. It looks like you guys had an awesome ride

It doesn't matter how many time you fall off its the number of times that you get back up that counts.

Great photos !!!!!!!!!!!!!

All those spots remind me of 4WD trips years ago but we where up there in the snow.

Might have to try and get there next time if there is a next time.

Thanks Matt and all my new friends, I had a blast. Here's my contribution to the vid/photo evidence of us playing in the sand.
