It was a cracking ride, excellent pace. My mate reckons if we had been in a group we’d have been held up. It wasn’t always fun if I am honest, and there may have been a swear or two on occasion! All in all though, I had a great day!

You’re not wrong Ollie, don’t get out often so when I do it is nice to make it worthwhile!

Nice work Ecks. There is some fun and tough stuff in that Ben Bullen area. Nothing the little DRZ cant handle, the rider on the other hand… :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yeah, I’ve not spent any time in the area before, but have ridden Clarence area a bit. Ben Bullen is a bit harder from what I’ve seen, although maybe we picked the harder tracks. :unsure:

The bike is a pearler, it would surprise a lot of people how good it actually is. I was surprised at how it would hook up at the rear wheel and pop the front in the air on hill climbs. My WR250F would have spun the rear wheel in the same situation. Might be a suspension thing too, this RG3 stuff is unreal.

Regardless, I’m glad I have this bike. It can sit in the shed until I need it next, then I’ll drag it out and flog it around the hills again. No fuss, no bother!

Nice write up Ecks!

Great report and pics Ecks. Ben Bullen is a great place to ride. There is not many easy singles there. Every track I know has at least one hard section.

Hey,, Did I just spot your mate in the Trailzone Shane Watts weekend pics from Stroud ???? :whistle:

Thanks JTB!

Cheers Mal, will have to catch up for a ride again one day!

Nope Eags, not my mate! The pics came out well, not sure what I did differently but I like them! Helps the story a lot to have some good pictures, although I wish (now) I had taken more in the less spectacular places, you know, the bracken fern filled gullies or the fallen trees we had to manhandle the bikes over. Oh well, it is an excuse to go back!

Good stuff Ecks. Glad you enjoyed your weekend! You did well considering you haven’t rode that sort of terrain for a long time. Hope to see the little banana out more in future.

Shame you missed out mate, you’d have really enjoyed it, particularly the Ben Bullen loop!
