    Ok all

    do yous want to camp here in tamworth or book a camp site at nundle so we are closer to the riding grounds. The grounds are 40to 50 minutes from my place and we use a rough dirt road to get there. the nundle caravan park is awsesome?

    let me know and I`ll book some site??????

    there are some things we can do ,and that is help lift our profile as bike riders, all the road bikies get a big owwwahhh when they do toy runs and we recently had a poker run up which raised heaps for a charity and the local media was all over it.
    if we can get a site like OBT involved as teams in these events it can only do good, some thing as simple as a donation tin on the larger rides tor monies to go to ,,say RFS and rescue choppers.

    we will never beat the weekend farmers,so to speak ,but we give our selves a helping hand in the profile situation. i will organise a charity for the Old bulls do nundle 2012,and publise it locally.

    Unfortunately Boony, as pointed out in Mr Blue’s report the fact that they were riding there before the complainents moved in was not a deterent and unfortunatley not everyone has the same sense of fair play or easy going attitude as you. I was on a ride with Huskybloke last year around Wallaroo when a farmer waved us down and tried to tell us that we weren’t allowed on the road we were on even though it was a public road and we were all licenced riders on rego’ed bikes. He too was a recent city retiree who had just moved to the country.

    noise..

    Yeah Jeffro ,,I was just saying that I dont mind the young fella riding as he was here and then we built,,,I understand not everyone has that take on it. its like people who buy in a flight path then whinge about the noise

    Excellent read Blue
    I have too been thinking about the current stats around our sport, so to speak

    1. Increase in deaths of dirt bike rides.
    A possible contributing factor could be the fact the modern day off road motorcycle are now produced as lightweight high speed ,high revving weapons.
    Another contributing factor may be the fact that inexperience riders as I am have now got easier access to these weapons; I had never ridden a dirt bike in anger until September2008 and when I walked into the bike shop to purchase a dirt bike, I could have left owning any high powered bike I wished and then headed off into the bush to literally open the throttle and try to think I knew what I was doing.

    Back when Noah was a pup we had to get the coin together for a bike. Now days the financial institutions welcome anyone to borrow money and they don’t care if they can pay it back as they get their collateral back from selling the repo purchase. This means nearly anyone can be in the bush on the latest and greatest weapon.
    An example of this would be when on one ride I rode with a bloke on a old DT200 and he fell off on every second corner, however he liked riding so much on the next trip he turns up on a WR450??

    Noise

    As for noise being a contributing factor to areas being closed, I do agree to a certain extent; however I feel the people wishing to have our ride areas closed off tend to use the soil erosion caused from people constantly spinning their wheels to attempt to reach the tops of hills and alike, this also includes 4×4 which in my opinion cause a hell of a lot more environment damage than a dirt bike.
    Noisy machinery is part and parcel to living in the bush, the young fellow across the road rides sliders and he is quite often out on his bike in his back yard, but hey he was here before we were.

    what about the pressure build up when I have released it and left the bike stationary.
    I just went to the shed,(beer fridge) and pressed the valve and sure enough there was a faint sound of air coming out of them???

    why elevate the bike after each ride??
