December 11, 2012 at 1:46 am #233553Good pics KTMrules,was wondering about the storm. I should have pulled the pin the first time you mentioned it
December 11, 2012 at 2:21 am #233640After Wolfie and I had a ride on Friday arvo, we stopped to conquer a couple of hills that had each of us stumped. Wolfie pulled out a super effort and did his rock shelf, so when we got to my hill I knew I had to do it!
Thanks for capturing it on the GoPro Wolfie.[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj3VtiI_w-c[/video]
