Desert Storm, Who is going?

[dammad1]

me +1 . about to register today.

Good stuff James, i'm going to be there for sure just confirming who is coming with me this week and then will book some accommodation and pay for the tickets.
Are you going to camp there or stay in town?

They no longer do fuel half way round so you must carry your own my CR125 would normaly run out as i got to the pits if i was being nice to it along the easy sections other wise you must cary fuel with you!

Well worth the 2 day trip just for the after ride fun at night time. Lots of drunks doing burnouts all night lol. (my bike stays locked)

The last time i went i was on my cr125 and had to carry extra fuel with me as well, didn't want to run out again.
bone dry when i ggot back to the finish, was nurseing a flatty for the last 4 kays as well.
Do they still do the barrel racing? i remember a kdx200, was just too good for eveyone, untill this kid on a 85ccc came out and just carved up everyone.

hey, i was reading the website and stuff, it doesnt really say wot kind of terrain it is, just says its high alltitude stuff. i guess that means its forestry?

im really keen to go on this ride aye, so it sounds like me KX125 wouldnt make the whole loop on 1 tank!! uh oh!!

i did a ride at atiamuri a month or so ago (forestry), i think it was a 50km loop. i didnt hav any probs wif that so do u think i would be all good on the main trails here?

thanks anyway

i'm sure someone here will say otherwise, but i strapped a 1 liter meths bottle of gas on the front of my kx125 incase i ran out of gas last time. i didn't need it though. it was just good reassurance...

[McJim]

Eh? Are we invading Iraq AGAIN?!?!

haha ohk sweet thanks, might even just mix up a 1 litre bottle or sumfn and strap it on.

i wont be going hard so i wont be chewing 2 much petrol, but u never know how much fuel ur goin 2 loose sliding down a hill with the bike upside down..

[cheese]

tempting......

[jimmy 2006]

won't you have a little one by then?

[CRF119]

Yea the normaly have a trail sprint and a barrell race. I might enter them this time as they have cash to give away just dont want to get beaten by a kid on his 85 lol.

Trails are normaly 65km long ranging from nice flowing trails in the pines to some good sandy hill climbs but depends what part of the desert the army has let them have this year and weather we cross that dam river again.

Also there are some cool places tp play in the desert dry river beds etc.

In that case we may end up camping on site
