New to forum’s generally too, but here goes …

Hi everyone,

I’m soon to relocate from Sydney to Kempsey (long story) in late August and am hoping to find some riding mates.

I pick up my new registered 2012 Husaberg TE300 next week and have nearly all the gear, first dirt bike in 27 years (mid-life crisis is expensive! Hope no-one laughs at all my shiny new stuff, and my new white boots). I’m from a motox/supercross and short-circuit background so I love a good track, not into freestyle at all, there’ll be no backflips (intentional) from me! If anyone has a killer motox track I’m there (if invited of course), also like a good day out on the trails just bashing around the bush.

Any tips/pointers for the area appreciated, keen to meet some new people and have some fun. Look forward to hopefully meeting some of you soon.

Welcome Razzle,
Be tops to move from sydney and closer to somewhere to ride,no one will laugh at your boots cause theyll probably only see them in the car park,looking at your riding back ground
Mid life crises should be made compulsary for membership………

cheers

Welcome Razzle.

Not sure if there are any Kempsey members but there are a few just down the road around Wauchope.

Welcome Razzle,
2 hours either side of Kempsey has some incredible riding and plenty of active members. I am up on the Coffs Coast so keep an eye out for upcoming rides.

Gday Razzle. Welcome to OBT and thanks for the intro. As Singletrackmind (STM) said, there is some great riding going on, up to 2 hrs either side of you.

I am at Wauchope and am happy to help you put some scratches on your new bike!

Good to see another Mac user here too. Some of us know better.

Cheers
Mick

Have to get yourself some motard wheels n throw some racing wets on so you can thrash it round green hill short circuit (west Kempsey). They are also running a stock wheel class now if you don’t want to dick round.

http://Www.hvmcc.com.au will give u info on the Hastings valley club mx track.

Miknmeld is the man if u wanna go trail riding in wauchope area.

Bullcrap TB, you had no idea! :laugh:

Nothing sinister going on champ, Razzle’s Avatar gave away what operating system he prefers.

Anyhow with all that aside, looking forward to showing you around the trails here, Razzle. Smart move getting out of the rat race!!

Ooops, didn’t mean to quote with the video and everything! Sorry Site Owner if this means a double-up in data or something??

Still learning …
