Don’t start me on greenslips Hatto……..

my garbage truck renewal is over $4000.00 this year!

Crash

Well thats just garbage.:laugh: :laugh:
But put it into perspective – 4000 divided by 233 work days= around $18.00 a day, you earn $1k a day, your way in front.:whistle: 😆

Joking, Joking,Sorry mate-I feel your pain.

IMO I think rec rego is a mistake, and we don’t need to go down that path.

MX bikes are not suited to bush riding, Fuel capacity, cooling system, wiring to keep lights going, 19 wheels, high reving, no low down torque etc -they are just not made for it.
Now I willing to cop some flack but thats my opinion.

Everybody is on about the costs of rego, but it’s the greenslips which are the issue. We would be better of lobying to get them reduced, than to open up the floodgates. We are then all covered for accidents, we are seen by the powers at be to be doing the right thing, which in turn give our sport more lobbying power as a united group.
If obtaining rec rego gives you access to the bush for 45 days, based on my rego, that equals $8.60 for the rego component, there is not many sports that you can do for that piss arse amount-so don’t use the rego cost as an excuse, put $5.00 in a jar every day you go riding and you will almost have your rego covered.
If mx was as good as enduro, for riding in the bush why would the manufactures spend millions on 2 different types of bikes, each bike is suited to it design, thats why they are different.

If adr compliant bikes are not required in this country than the manufactures will stop importing them, the government will not allow you to ride on public land, and you can then go and enjoy riding the mx park with every other bike rider because the bush will be off limits. The green minorities win and you have helped their cause.

If you are hell bent on riding a motorcross bike in the bush, take it up with the manufacturers, lobby them to produce the bikes you want to ride adr compliant – (they won’t because they are not suited)- follow what is going on in the US and you will appreciate how lucky we are to have adr bikes and riding areas across the board in this country.
What I see happening is, that rec rego comes in, restrictions on where you can ride those bike becomes law, more bikes in a concentrated area = more damage to the environment, which gives the opposition more fuel for closing down more bush and then the sport is history.

What is the advantage of rec rego, what does rec rego give you over and above what you can have /do have now.

Well I rode with Chris and his euro trash finished the day unassisted so thats him ruled out

Mal5.1 has a euro trash museum as such but he worked the night before I think so he wouldn’t have been riding, scratch him

STM, Mick and I are way to smart to own euro trash :laugh:

Part time moderators include Nickj (no euro trash), Tiny he has a husky that’s euro trash but in true euro trash form it’s off the road anyway that him out. Hatto looks after the ride date forum so he is a moderator as such it could be him? There is another moderator is it him?? :ohmy:

TB

Not me, never been toed yet,
Still not convinced on these fuel injected thingy’s, and why would they believe that an offroad bike doesn’t need a kick starter, idiotic I say

I just noticed after the weekend that my rear disc on the XR is getting scalloped and wearing the pads unevenly as well. Thinking about replacing the disc soon. Hatto, is yours a KTM disc or an aftermarket one ?? If so what brand?

Mick

$210.00 for both delivered, solid wave rotors-bolt straight up, even the speedo hole was perfect

I just put new pads on and they sit flush so at least that’s a good sign. Got me thinking though. On the wave rotor there is a section on the tip of the wave that doesn’t get covered by the pads. This means it doesn’t get worn down and is hence a litlle thicker than the rest of the rotor. Maybe this is putting extra pressure on the pads as they have to grind against the rotor on the face and the side. Will keep an eye on it anyway.

Thanks

That’s exactly what it is, now your pads won’t last real long either.
Just replaced my discs and pads are sweet as, square and all. I just fitted solid waves and love the feel, now stops way better than it was with worn rotors
good price too
