    Hi all
    After a gap of twenty years and discussions with wife about the timing of my return to two wheels . I did it anyway.
    There is now a lot protective available, bought plenty it’s been used.
    I have a tidy 08 drz400 it was pristine …
    Ride with family (sydney based) generally zig zag and had a good run down at nowra.
    My rides are currently based up at Ourimbah, subject to calls from brother. Use to 4wd in Watagans but will not go alone … I try to go out every second to third weekend. I had an intermittent riding buddy ( who is in the process of selling). Like single tracks but risky alone, still do a little as long a I think I crawl back to the main track….. Ya right, anyway. Look forward to catching up with other semi broken individuals . Falling off is easy. Having another go…… That’s the challenge!
    Up for ride this Saturday morning Ourimbah. Out at about 8:30 / 9 for 2 – 4 hr

    Gday Gmac,
    Plenty of us older blokes here that take longer to come good after a get off.I am sitting out for a while now recovering from a little get of two weeks ago. Next week should see me come good for the bush again, I have been riding road bikes in the interim. The thing is we have the “bug” and we always get back on again. (slow learners).

    You are right, riding alone is a risk. That is the beauty of OBT, you’ll usually be able to find a ride partner to head out with you.

    Welcome to OBT and thanks for the intro, remember the more you put into this site, the more you get back.

    Regards
    Mick

    After reading the grading info the riding would be grade 3 and some 4 . Have not been out to Ourimbah (on bike) since Easter back then the main trial in was cut up bad right through to red hill road . Has the main trail been regraded or as two months done job?
    Cheers Gordon
