    I decided to run the DR into a tree…..well at least the tree stopped me going off the edge.

    Take one DR

    Take some speed and a lot of lack of skills ends up with this

    Not a fan of tree vs bike confrontations either,did the back end skip out when you wheelie the washout?

    Lucky break there NZ! I can just picture the DR end for ending down that hill. You’d need more than a few strong men to retrieve her from there! Good to hear it ended well.

    Cheers

    A young bloke out this way on private property hit head on with a tree a month ago. He is no longer with us. Always look past the tree not right at it… ;)

    good on you for posting that! Everyone does it just not many admit to it ;)

    Beware the 5th ride I say. I snapped the top of my finger clean backwards on my 5th ride (wrapped it backwards around the clutch lever).
