never . i had one of those as teenager(82 XR200) mine self destructed . broke a conrod ,motor locked and i took a skate up a wet canterbury road in the middle of night.

i remember the night well. A gentleman stops as he sees xr in middle of road.

walks up asks me if i am ok.

parents pull up behind dead XR in the old farm wagon.

My old man walks over to me.

Before he even gets to me...

mum starts hooting and roaring

"thats the last bike you'll ever have!!" at the top of her lungs ( horse trainers )

i start back .. " no its not" , helmet still on , I am morning the loss of XR . not sure what to do look at bike or aurgue the toss with demented mother.

poor stranger must have thought whats wrong with these couuntry bumpkins.

LOL, my bike will be fine. I may die a few times along the way.

This will be my first real trail ride, what tyre pressure should I go for?

[Dumruat]

mine was thrashed down at the local beach for a couple of weeks and the airfilter was not lined up .. gee i wonder who's fault that was.

they do go forever under normal conditions .

12 - 15 psi is about normal . varies a bit if muddy.

if its muddy you would be king of the trailride on that tractor



Roadkill are you taking one of your toys on sunday ?

team green or team yellow.

or staying at home i was thinking its close to your neck of the woods as well.

[Leyton]

Consider me there

It is like 10mins from my house...

I will be the 07 125cc, Very smokey running uber rich air/fuel.. cant work out why at such short notice of the symtoms :P Checked filter, jetting etc... blah blah the normals.

Will see what she goes like tomorrow Spare plug in the bag

[nzspokes]

LOL, thats the only trouble I had all day. I just hit the little rock section wrong and got bauked. Mate helped me up to the top of the little downhill and she roll started fine. Just a bit flooded I guess.

Great track. Showed lots of places I had no skill. Loved it.

If I can find a little movie editing program that can cut out all the lame bits (Because you cant hear sound from my crusty ATC3k anyway) I will get the movie up on youtube.

I got you on it just as you were resting up on the side trying to get ya bike going

[Madness]

He wasn't resting. That would have been when he was "Getting his motocross on"

Doh, trust me to be on film when the bike stopped.

Did you stop to change your plug? I stopped by somebody that was having trouble to check they were ok.

Saw a couple of people being helped that had crashed. i felt like I should stop but there were heaps of people there and im no Doctor.

That little tree section where you dropped down to the road, each time I went through somebody crashed in front of me. Second time I almost went over them.

Got some bloody good tips that helped me heaps, I can go downhill now Had my rear brake set to low.

Im going to sort myself out a rack for the car and hit some more trail rides I think. Next one probably will be the Waitamata club one out helensville.
