    Well I rode my Trials bike up the driveway a couple of times. Even pulled some pathetic wheelies. Shoulder hurt next day. Needs more time.
    First bike I have owned that I have done it to, my IT200 will be the next, just waiting for KSS to finish the rear Nitron

    My shoulder hurts everyday regardless of what I do, three surgeries between both shoulders so far and another if I want the pain to stop

    Fell off a month ago, mate was behind me so its his fault I had to show off. Riding Trials takes all weight of top through shoulders so needs to be right again. Could barely tie my shoe laces for week after it happened.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Your all sad old men trying relive your youths! I am glad I don't fit that description. I am pretty meh about the Kaituna ride this Sunday. Sounds poorly organised with no enduros. Could be my loss.

    well... Dave, when ya lack the skills to ride you need to compensate by spending money on upgrades, if at the least it makes ya look cooler...

    Kick, the coast sounds cool ill be over that way but on the ADV bike... unless its a typical lovely wet coast day in which case Ill be going 4x4

    Whines about no enduros but won't do Mt Greenland, let me get you a saucer of warm milk you big pussy

    You'll have to give my bike another go with the suspension upgrades and see what you think

    Mt Greenland is ADV bike friendly (if you're Chris Birch)

    Keen as-same goes for you on my Xtrainer with the revalved suspension. Mt Greenland can go f@#k itself!

    I ride with a couple of guys who on a very good day I might keep up if all the planets are in alignment

    Mike who is one of them told me he was very dissapointed when I pulled out and passed him, it was worth paying the money just to hear that

    Hey I'm all up with spending money on suspension. Transformation on XTr was immense.

    Still can match the revalved SSS YZ forks on the gasser, but not shabby. Many cancelled rides so season is finished mostly. Haven't been able to ride except road. Did some ks today.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    The lap I saw on Youtube-nice views, shame about the trail ride. Might be alright tapped out on a 450 or putting along on- an ADV bike, just not pushing my buttons...

    Apparently he will no longer be listing them on Myrides (reason unknown) but it will be business as usual, that may make it somewhat more difficult if you aren't on FB

    Did local Trial. Shoulder held out so pretty happy.

    An old racing mate Glen was there. He's off to Romaniacs next week. To ride. Crazy. Would be an amazing experience if you were good enough to at least cope.
