    Howdy all

    A returning trail rider looking for a more relaxed pace than 15 yrs ago. Bought a 96 model NX650 off a friend with the view of commuting and doing a few road rides. Well, that lasted until I took a couple of mates for a trail ride out past Wollombi and now I’m hooked on dirt again. So much so now I’m looking to sort the suspension on the Honda to cope with my (ahem!!) ample, comfortable size. Apparently the original design was based on a 70kg rider, yeah right!!

    Right now I’m setting the old girl up to do the APC Rally in a few months, a huge mountain to climb but I’m committed (or maybe that’s I should be committed?).

    Looking forward to some trail training in the coming mths once the suspensions sorted and back in. Hopefully I might see some OBT riders out and about.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the welcome guys, and yes Murph I used to ride a highly farkled XR400 over a decade ago (wow, that hurt saying that!) and used to do a lot of the tracks around Sugy and also up around Booral SF. After I passed the XR on I got into 4wding and those tracks in your west side report are very familiar to me.

    Cheers
