    I’m not worried
    its bolted on
    chain is already rooted and the rear sprocket is used like boony’s goat so it will be a complete rebuild shortly

    could say all that about a 250cc motorcycle against a 450 boonster

    rev shit out of it to go anywhere and wear it out quicker

    Yes I would mhave to agree with TB. Although there is another good reason to run an exhaust bung, especially if you have say 3 bikes on one trailer and one is put on backwards so bars don’t clash etc. All the air, water dust etc when travelling will enter your pipe (on the one facing backwards) and if you exh valves are open this crap has the potential to enter your engine, with the possibility of causing damage. :huh: :ohmy:

    The only time the bung is out of my pipe,is when its running.

    My bike got a wash at Bellingen :laugh:

    If your having valve issues buy a WR :laugh:

    Boony has got one for his Goat not his bike :ohmy:

    You would think it would be feasible to stop all of the above, dust ,water ,rain .hot air , cold air ,wasps ,mice , also would inhibit people from throwing bottletops in there as this then becomes a oh&s issue as they fire out at a rather fast pace and could hurt someone don’tbthey lc(this bit was just to keep it valid in the tech help section)

    This riding business is very unprofitable at the moment

    work sounds very boring really

    Best you sort out some baby sitters for Sunday for me to show you some easy hills that I can get up. And I did have a 15 tooth sprocket on instead of my favoured 14 as it was RS. B)

    Its a thread galey so i can right all of your misconceptions and your illtruths at any time

    using the sprocket as an excuse now are we ..any excuse maybe its just a 2 stroke …you might go better on the new 3 stroke that there working on :)Oh I do believe that I was ready before you were Bobby Long.
    You probably were that moment was abit sketchy but iwas organising food and beverages

    If you were really trying to wear me out you would have done the pines again instead of whinging about your arse and looking for ointment.
    yeh it was day two for us though think it might be a commitment thing it was a 3 day event not a one dayer
    it was day 2 for us

    Day 3

    Slow start everyone a little sore, some a lot sore , a few knee’s that didn’t want to play the game and probably a few tickers as well
    after a long winded gear up a sprocket change another local rider turned up

    few laps around josh’s grass track we finally headed off

    The AORC track was in better shape than i expected a bit of maintenance had been done so it was nearly full steam ahead

    Next time we will go here first when we r fresh but still we were having a go and i think most enjoyed the track ,I had a little moment after Adam expressed interest in going the quick way home .
    I took the wrong trail and gave him the hard longer one instead of the easier short one (Sorry Adam) it was a genuine mistake :blush:
    Apparently Sam enjoyed taking you that way ………………stopping on the trail after a steep downhill and saying “wait a minute Dad will stack it here “
    Dad stacked it , Sam laughed and rode off :laugh:

    We showed Adam the quick way home and headed back to the track
    Not long into it Revenge was had and Sam stacked it for a few too see …yes we laughed and rode off :laugh:

    Further on we went ending up at a motocross track in the middle of nowhere

    shenanigans were had here while some rested

    There was quite a bit of racing going on around the track with the young’ens and those with distant race heritage showing there style and those of us with none rooted after one or two hot messy laps
    Then the NEville 3 day race start without a starter person (i’ll have to work on that for next time maybe a hot bikini clad young lass with a flag)

    My first Motocross race ……………………..I had an awsome reaction time to the start ……………………..
    smashed everyone to the corner ………………..
    went a little fast into the corner on the wrong line
    went a little sideways and stuffed it up for everyone

    that was the race for me i was laughing too much so i toddled off to the camera man waiting at the tabletop

    After the track we headed off on some more singles into the wilderness before deciding to head home

    Thanks to everyone who turned up , i had a great time and hope it was up to expectations

    Special thanks to everyone for riding with josh on his tracks ,i really appreciate it
    he loved it and is right into bikes and riding at the moment .

    I’ll work on some more single trails and hill climbs for next time and we’ll do the ones we missed this time.

    :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: B)
