I agree that helmet looks too good to go in a case,maybe after a year or two.
Cheers

Actually most of the mud & grass fell off in the shape under the guards while I drove out to the Freeway, then I just threw it out of the trailer while having a break and a cool drink :laugh:Spent an hour this arvo with the bikewash & hose and she`s all clean ready to go again
Maybe you should have bid on my Bike Clean kit at the auction :silly:

July 8, 2013 at 8:04 am #245747Great Weekend, the boys and I had a ball.
The squiggle crew got up there Friday night and setup in the dark so we were good to go Saturday morning. Had a couple of minor issues with the young blokes suspension that we fixed during the lunch break on Saturday and after some playing with his clickers he was able to keep the thing in a straight line
The rear brake on my 300 was set to goon mode thanks to some 2 smoker wheelie practice from a few month previous I forgot about so I couldnt stand up and use the rear brake at the same time for all of saturday, killer over 5 laps of that downhill. Finally got it adjusted Sunday morning. By then my arse felt like jailbait
Great trails and the auction was a real highlight, great nights entertainment watching Bollocks work his magic and it might have been the alcohol but that whole night was funny as hell.
My young bloke is still complaining about sore legs etc so the riding was great too. Great event and looking forward the the next one.
Riding with two teenagers was excellent fun and we had our own catch phrase for making a pass for the weekend.
Here are some highlights of how to deal with cocky teenagers on the trail. Language warning … sorry (again). We had great fun putting this footage together last night so hopefully someone gets a kick out of it.
Make sure you run it in 720 or 1080P

July 8, 2013 at 9:33 am #245756Great Vid Squiggle, I to have a teenage son that rounds me up now. He was there on the weekend and had a ball. It is a great location were we can legally do some trail riding with our young blokes.
Cheers.July 8, 2013 at 9:44 am #245656Thanks for a great weekend guys. Was great to finally put some faces to the names, thanks for making me feel welcome
Was such a beautiful location . Big thanks to all the guys that kept that fire going cause it was BLOODY cold .
Now that I’ve seen the vids of the hard track I’m kicking myself that I didn’t give it a go. Maybe next time. At least the weekend got me back in the mood to start riding more again.
Great work guys. Looking forward to next year already.

Cheers.Thank mick, its good to keep em keen and we are starting to make noises about sunny corner already
I have been informed by the powers at be that my roosts are simply not good enough so this may be another opportunity to work on that technique, I think the young bloke has some slightly different ideas. Good luck to him I say!
Next year we might have to setup some generation relays and see if these young blokes are any good, now where is my tool kit

Cheers Teza.Thats no good at all Teza, Ill have to shout you a beer at the next one in sympathy. Old Bulls makes a pretty good surrogate if you ask me so at least you have a top bunch of like minded hooligans and bogans to ride with and make you feel better. I am trying to sort through the alchohol induced fog that is my memory of the weekend but pretty sure we didnt catch up. Next time.
