    Ah Mr Blue you have a way with words, no doubt. And you have hit the nail on the head. I have noticed over the past decade or so the gradual and seemingly unstoppable rise of the NPWS empire. If they actually did the job they were supposed to I wouldn’t even mind, but they don’t. If these guys actually made the land they were in charge of accessable and managed it properly then it would be worthwhile. I can think of several bushfires in this region where the NPWS has firstly allowed their land to be loaded with fuel, then once a fire started the RFS and adjoining landholders were not allowed in to fight it. In all cases the fire has got out of control and ended up burning out thousands of acres of private land.

    They should change their name to something more akin to “NSW Prevent Workable Solutions”.

    Oooooh triple figures! (Well, it starts with a 3 anyway!)Its all downhill from there!

    Woulda picked you as older, moto, but I guess we can put your KTM fetish down to youthful exuberance rather than a mid-life crisis!

    Its too far away in time for me to make the call on your ride yet, but keep dragging this thread to the surface in the meantime and we will see how we go!

    Not questioning the size of bodily parts, just the sanity of someone dropping, semi-controlled, within inches if rock faces etc! If I described this sport to you I’m sure your first reaction would be “That’s crazy!” ;) smiley-shocked013.gif

    18!!! Get me my beanie and gloves!!!

    Actually, we are close enough to Orange that we get some damn cold days here too!! I think my favourite last year maxed out at 8° with wind and rain – and I was out working in it as well!!

    Nah, you blokes need to get out more! B)

    When we hit 45° plus, that’s hot! When it gets over 50° that’s just plain ridiculous!

    By the way Aaron, I fixed both your picture links :) When copying the text from underneath the picture in photobucket, copy the the text in the ‘IMG Code’ cell and the pictures will appear in the post so you don’t have to click a link to see them :)

    Oh that is so cool! Where can I get a Team Moto sticker??? smiley-laughing024.gif

    Thanks moto! smiley-happy088.gif

    I like the white WRF’s a lot. If work was going better I might consider the white plastics for mine – but at the moment that’s just not the case!

    I’m interested to see how it looks Chris. I like the white WRF’s but cant picture them in black. I have the same problem with DRZ400’s (not that I like them in white though!)

    Oh hang on, yes I can:

    Nice one Dan. I didn’t know they made a DT230. And my cousin had a DT175 exactly the same as your old one! You’ve gone through a fair few in 3 years though!! Must be hard on bikes or not ambitious enough with your new bike choices! :laugh:
