Nope.

Can't ride on Sat as we're doing a course in how to make things out of old pallets.

So riding Sunday

Wouldn't mind photoing as I've got some good ones at the big MX events in the past but riding comes first...

wow tht dude in the 3rd pic looks awesome!! is that Stephan, jarvis or Birchy?
He looks like he's gonna lose it on that big rock but I bet he just wheelies right over it

You guys still going for a ride ?
And is it suitable for an old cripple riding a bland bike with road tires ?

Hi Nadsters

Don't worry Nordie has a jumpstarter made from pallets, and a coffee plunger, and a karioke machine.....

I found the pallets won't fit in the vest


Mmmm... Coffee...

[NordieBoy]

Well, that was almost uneventful.

Bugger my memory card ran out coming down the Maunga.
NO crash footage or evidence of a KLR owning a DRZ.

Got some good bog footage tho.
Man that WR was fun.
best ride I've had for a long time - prob cos I didn't fall off.

Just got home... Pelorous side of the Maungatap s nice not took many water ruts, and the Wongamoas are a little sketchy in places

[Woodman]

Fun ride alright, my gear is covered in shitty stagnant mud, yuk.

Had a blast on the klx400. Thought it felt funny in the front, but still more planted than the klr even with a flat tyre.

Nordies how to ride down a small ledge lesson. Ride bike to top of ledge, get off bike and let it fall down on its own. walk down ledge, get on and continue riding.

Either the bike was going to arse over, or the bike with me on it was going to arse over.
I pick the options that result in less damage to me.
