    Maaaate
    Did not disapoint the bike was great fun took little time to warm up.

    Notes to self.

    Arms get tried from arm pump . I think that means hanging on and trying not to fall off the back.

    The bike handles well. This does not stop you hitting trees.

    Its light in front. See arm pump.
    Its light compared to the DRZ. STILL STUFFED

    thanks to the boys for turning up. Im told the bike is run in now.

    it has its first set of scars and I managed to add an addition non stsndard curve to my one my rad guards.

    as usual I leave the photos to others. There is a nice one of me learning about gravity

    Cheers gordo

    Thanks Gordo and the rest of the Boys had a great day out, amazing what 4 months off the bike can do for you :S I had one over the bars moment which bent my front brake lever and made it near on useless with my Gumby hand. The other moments were totaly due to lack of fitness and trying to shake a flu Ive had for 3 months. I got some video but will sort thru it tomorrow.
    Gordo you took to the 3 Hungey like a fat chick on a cupcake well done mate

    cheers Ollie

    (im going to bed) :laugh:

    Thanks for the ride boys.
    Gordo, beautiful bike, even with those scratches 😆 😆
    My first ride since late last year, October I think. I have sore everything, and am struggling to keep my eyes open. I had a few moments, and am glad to be home in one piece.
    I do have some vid of a really shiney 300 with a rider exiting backwards :whistle: :whistle:
    I will attempt to upload tomorrow.
    Thanks again for the organizing (Gordo, Adam) and the sweep (Ollie) not to mention catching up with and meeting some Old Bulls.

    Cheers Action

    Thanks Gordo for posting ;) However I realize you would have ridden regardless of who turned up :laugh:

    We had a good mixture of trail types for Gordo to find his feet, although they never actually touch the ground :P :laugh:

    Highlight for me were the singles down in the valley :) especially the new extension :woohoo:

    Surprised to hear Ollie went adventuring over the hangars :pinch: At least it was in slow motion :laugh: and thanks for sweeping ;)

    Action rode until his tank was empty and peeled off, then we rode till Gordo’s bike tank was nearly empty and sent Sam, Stuart, Tryhard and Squiggle off to the quarry whilst Ollie, Gordo and I main tracked it back to the cars ;)

    Like most new 2 smokers some re-jetting is required to get some decent km’s out of the tank, however that’s part of the fun with getting a new bike personalized :)

    The conditions were nearly perfect, and thanks boys for making it an enjoyable day out :woohoo:

    Only got Sam and Action, I’ll have to remember my Gopro next time :whistle:
