    I can’t ride without goggles. Even if i’m out im front i still seem to get dirt and mud in me eyes flickin up from the front wheel. If i’m ridin in small group i notice it more cause i don’t get a chance to stop as much and give them a clean. When it’s raining that’s the worst for me and just really slows me down. Thats when i tend to scratch my goggles up by using my gloved finger as a wiper.I normally buy different ones at around the $50 mark and always clear lenses. I was a bit concerned about eye protection on micknmelds birthday ride cause the weather was very steamy but ridin with such a large group i was always getting a chance to give my goggles a clean and i thought for sure that i’d stuff me googles but at the end of the day the lenses still looked good and i’ve gone on a couple rides since so no need for a new pair yet.

    I could be a cracked reed valve aswell. It happened to me once on a ride and my bike was running weird as a result. I started muckin around with the mixture screw thinkin it was that and stuffed it up and then kept doing plugs.I ended up takin it to the bike shop and they picked up the problem so I’d have a quick look at that aswell mate. Nice and easy to check but i had overlooked it.

    I reckon we need are own politcal party. we could be the “Dirt Bikers Party”. I know it sounds like a big piss up!! Seriously though we have alot of numbers and there are a lot of people who don’t ride but can associate with us.there will always be those up tight narrow minded cockheads who wanna stuff us up. I remember a few years ago some arsehole polly calling us motorised vermon. I always vote with the 4WD party and the Gun party cause they lobby the keep the bush open.

    What an adventure he had Mick and heaps of fun. It would be great to be able to just hit the road with no real time frame. I’ve always wanted to do that sorta thing around OZ but did’nt get my shit together before the kids came along. One day maybe?

    Yeah Mick what a top days ridin on Saturday. The tracks and conditions were unreal. I had the best day from waking up to crashing out that night totally buggered although I felt for TB when his ride was cut short.

    Thanks to everyone involved in making it the day it was.
    RiderX and the other lead and sweep riders…cheers boys.
    Thanks also to RiderX’s wife for all the food, drink and fuel at at lunch and after the ride. That lunch stop was exellent. Also to the brekky couple.

    It was good to meet a few more Old Bulls and put names to faces as I only knew murph and smurph from other rides. I gotta say yas are all a real friendly bunch and made me feel welcome. Certainly a cross section of personalities.
    Lots of laughing and shit stirring was goin down all day.

    Mick thanks for the day mate I loved it.

    Great tracks and great ridin and great people equals a great day.

    dont throw ice creams at movin cars.

    dont brown eye taxis on parramatta rd from movin car.

    dont get busted drivin dads car

    dont smoke hash in mates kitchen using stove then eat all the icecream than laugh at his parents when they get home…still a touchy subject today.

    dont throw rock at big kid in street cause he tackles ya hard playing footy cause he punches even harder when mad.

    run faster if ya don’t have a train ticket.

    dont steal oranges fron neighbour vegi truck.

    be nice to girls

    wear helmet boots and gloves

    be nice to ya bike

    dont call older kids wankers or any other names unless ya can run faster than em.

    dont play fight with uncles when the’re pissed
