Nice one, sounded like a good day. It surprises me this track does not get mentioned/ridden more often, heaps of people do the Porika and yet right there is the entry to the Maude Track awaiting with its slippery bouldery river rocks ready to test your ability to keep your bike vertical!!

Hey you Nelsonites - in respect to your recent ride, what's the state of the Porika at the moment?
Group of us with spoke wheels & reasonable ground clearance (I wont mention brakes) are looking at going down it next week.

All ok yesterday - the usual rutted rocky steep bit on the lake Rotorua side but other than that just one unexpected deep puddle about half way through, the rest all good. Easier from east to west.

What are you doing to it?

Fitted cast yamaha rim into Dominator. Got bearings which suited yam outer and Honda axle and went straight in.
Just need 15mm trimmed off the shoulder of the axle to centre rim properly.
Nordie: I never did manage to get hold of ya bro,, does he still have the old XR parts?
