Stupid big hills with basket ball sized boulders
Massive rutts
Ditches dug in the middle of no where

Dust
flame outs in creeks

Showing your Age Michael it’s what we used to yell out to the roadbike riders on their CB750s and Z900s, “go on pop a wheelie………..Bloody pansy, Roadbikes must be so gutless eh”… :blush:
Oh to be young and slightly more silly again
LOVES –
flowing, fast singles or twins
erosion jumps
the bush starting to blur at speed :woohoo:

seeing fellow bulls improve over time, myself included
damp loamy ground
whoops in sand
pulling wheelies through puddles
powerslides, the faster the better
dicing with anyone, anywhere, as long as there is no dust
taking a shiny bike off the trailer in the morning and replacing it with a filthy bike in the arvo
having a crack at anything and perferably succeeding before im knackered
the dirty smiles of fellow riders at the end of the day
washing the dirt down with an ice cold beer and a laugh
the hook up of brand new tyres
chicks that ride bikes
the smell of 2 stroke fumes… ahhh, it smells like victory :laugh: :laugh:
pulling up to a country pub for lunch, with kids looking at you in awe (like i did as a kid when i saw a dirty biker) and getting the thumbs up from them
knowing that half the blokes in that pub wish they were out riding with you
slimy clay and mud in general
surviving butt puckering moments and the heart thump that goes with them
roosting and getting roosted…with mud, not rocks!
backing into corners
the smell of hot wet mud on my bike
seeing other riders do things you didnt think was possible…inspiring stuff
laying in bed after a wicked day on the bike, going through the ride in my head…and nearly jumping out of bed when i get to a part that i nearly stacked on :laugh: :laugh:
being out of my comfort zone
hopping logs, even if there is a chicken route
having an electric start
the cornerman system when it works
my lovely wife, who knows that riding comes before family do’s and makes excuses for me :kiss:
i could go on and on…
HATES –
4WDs that are only out to wreck the place.
dust, and the things you hit when riding in it
mechanical failure
afternoon fatigue and my lack of fitness
wankers on pit bikes
euthanising animals i have hit
overheating, whether its me or the bike :laugh:
mx tracks, i could jump off a cliff and have less chance of hurting myself :laugh:
any injury that keeps me off the bike
getting hit by roost in the few places that armour doesnt cover
seeing fellow riders seriously hurt
the cornerman system, when it doesnt work
downed trees that are too low to go under but too high to cross
fixing drowned bikes
and with that, KTM air boxes! stupid design flaw
running out of water in my camelbak halfway through a hot days riding
getting directionally challenged when low on fuel or light and people are relying on me
and most of all, being to poor to ride at the moment
