    After 6 mouths of not being able to ride or drive I finally got my licence back.:laugh: What a pain in the arse that was. ;) I took the day off work and headed out for a morning fang through the bush. It didn’t take to long to get back into it as it was the longest break I’ve had off the bike, although I had new boots and couldn’t feel the rear brake especially when standing on the downhills. A lot of the main tracks were chopped up pretty well and even some of my favourite singles that I poked in years ago were pink ribboned. I ended up finding some new tracks that were in good nick where I got on the gas real nice hitting some whoops and having heaps of fun. After 2 or so hours I headed for home with another 56 kms put on the 300. :) Dusty

    The result of new boots. Had to borrow a bolt off front fork guard.
