    Fran-tastic!!!!

    The little jump just before the end just rounded it off nicely - wicked!

    Looks like you guys had a great day!
    Cheers, Dave

    I achieved what I set out to do , got round a 16km lap without arsing off or damaging my body and decided to quit while I was ahead (not like some of us )
    Jatz you are a bloody legend , that overtaking manoeuvre was a class piece of riding. The mighty CT was certainly standing proud on the trailer when Team Jatz hit the highway.
    Nordy how did you ride down there with one hand ?

    With difficulty.
    Notice I had to drop the camera twice

    Note to viewers: It was a lot steeper than it looked

    You DID look like you were having a blast on the little CT though!

    And the big air on the CT was awesome!

    Oh it was just the camera that dropped then - was a bit concerned you were on Mrs Jatz's Tenere and were adding a few "character marks" to it while she couldn't see!

    Jatz has now broken both hand guards on XT.
    I was at the pits with a big pair of binoculars and could see most of the track.

    I had enough trouble keeping the XT upright, without much success on more than one ocasion
    It also would have made werewolfs eyes water if I had riden it.
    I think the CT will get a few more outings now, bloody good fun.
    Ride it like it's already broken

    Yep little CT looked like it was putting more smiles on faces than anything else you guys had there! What a blast! We want bigger air next time though!

    (don't envy you on the compensation required by Mrs Jatz for breaking bits on her XT though!)
    Cheers, Dave

    What do you mean HER XT? She's merely borrowing it from me for a while...

    Good catching up with the crew & meeting Woodman - Now he's a bloody legend - more than 1 lap on the KLR - what damage did it sustain???

    Oh like that is it! My that bike is sure coveted by a few people!

    The pink colour suits her better tho!

    Cheers same here great to finally meet up in human form.

    The bike held up great and managed to keep up ok.

    Damage report :

    Smashed fairing.
    bent fairing mounts
    2x smashed handguards
    broken headlight
    cracked inner rear mudguard.
    Compressed spine (note: do not try and keep up with moto x bikes).

    Loved it and am definitely gonna do another.

    next time I want a go on the ct
