Hi there!
Mick invited me from TT forums to check out your place here. I’m from Hungary, I was born in St. Petersburg (Russia) and willing to go to Ossie
Anyways… I think I will be stalking you, reading ride reports and stuff, I hope to see many pictures which show the beauty of your country and eventually learn a bit more about yout culture and lifestyle.
Cheers:
Yuri

Welcome Yuri,
Great to see you on board!!! Congratulations on being our first international member.
Feel free to read the ride reports , I hope they don’t make you jealous!!! LOL
We would also be interested in seeing some of your riding pics and learning about trail riding in Hungary.
Cheers
Mick

You have much better places to ride thats for sure, thats one reason I want to go there and I’m never jealous.
Ok, I will send some pics when I can. Btw the place where I live (and the whole country mainly) is flatland. Sandy terrian with some woods. Love sand

[Mick DMember]

I love mud!!!!! I hate dust!!! My favourite place to ride is in rainforests.
Nice leafy trails with muddy bog holes = FUN!!! WE are going to take the boys on their 85cc bikes to the rainforest today for some father/son adventure.

[GPMember]

Rainforest ride? :laugh: Sounds creazy…
I wish my father rode off-road, btw he is the same age as you are

[Mick DMember]

Same age as me??? He must be old then!!!!!:laugh:

Here is a pic of me on my XR600 in the rainforest, near my home.

[Mick DMember]

Here is another rainforest pic. That is my son on his KX85 in the forest.

Location mid north coast
Isnt it very hot there?

I have read a lot of nice things about Cairns. Is it any similar?

[Mick DMember]

I am from Wauchope on the Mid north coast of NSW, it is more humid than hot. It is winter here now and it is a bit cold but nothing like what you being from Russia would call cold!!!
Cairns is 2185km north of here and it gets very humid there in Summer. I have only been to Cairns airport so I don’t know much about the riding up there, but it is famous place for its rainforest riding.

My mother used to wear a skirt when it was -30°C LOL

I thought there are rainforests only up north.

Not necessarily. There are different types of rail forest. Cairns has tropical rainforest and we have sub tropical. All still great fun to ride.

-30C??? Unbelievable BRRRRRRRRRR
It rarely gets below zero here,I was nearly 40yo before I saw snow for the first time and that was in Switzerland!!

[GPMember]

Are you free to ride almost anywhere you like?
Arent you afraid of the wildlife? Is the goverment protecting it?

[Mick DMember]

Yes as long as your bike is registered with the Department of transport you can pretty well ride where you like on public land like the state forests.
The only time I worry about the wildlife is when a kangaroo jumps out in front of me!!! EEEEEK!!!
Hitting a kangaroo will bring you down.
All Australian native wildlife is protected by law but dirt bikes don’t worry the wildlife much.The animals usually hear us coming and hide.

[GPMember]

Thats cool
Hitting a kangaroo LOL

[Mick DMember]

I have hit many Kangaroos in cars in my life and they cause a lot of damage to your car. But not long ago I hit a cow on my XR600 and had a big crash and cracked my ribs. OUCH
