    Interesting read.

    It’s certainly a beast of a bike and in your hand will go anywhere. But not for the faint hearted. The level of commitment needed is what scares me. I’m not sure I’d like to be aboard when it goes pear shaped and I’m sure if I was piloting it would go wrong :whistle:

    It was tops to see it in action though.

    G’day Wolfie

    I’ve got an 09 310 te and the one thing you might need is a large Allen Key (Spelling :huh: ) for the front axel. Can’t remember the size.

    Or you can swap it for a nut that you can use a spanner or socket. That’s what I’ve done.

    Other than that your general tool kit will do all your regular maintenance.

    G’day Alex

    The Hastings Valley Motocycle Club Runs enduro events like Pony X and Sprints. There is six rounds throughout the year. As Eags has mentioned we have had some track issues this year but should be on track for next season. Google the website for race dates in the New Year.

    As mentioned the Denman series is also good and there is the Northern Inland Pony X series each year as well. That is also an excellent series and lots of fun. Google both for race dates.

    If you want to get into some racing there is lots around to keep you interested.

    Hope to see you at the HVMCC

    Cont….

    Ralf’s trail goes onto link up with the Old Highway that leads you down through the Doyles River State forest, all along the Old Highway single trails lead off in all directions, many of which I have ridden in the past with the Tamworth crew and some great rides came to mind as we made our way towards Knodingbull Road.

    Along the old highway, Kram crashed into a little tree and knocked it over.

    Not really, this was the only obstacle along the trails though.

    Once we reached Knodingbull we started to make our way to Gingers Creek for lunch via Boony’s Cappachinno trail, which brings you out onto the highway 2kms west of Gingers Creek Store.

    DSC03062.jpg

    Excellent burgers were served all round and I topped up with fuel again and was surprised to see that fuel was cheaper at Gingers Creek than it was in town. Go figure?

    Anyhow we then headed west on the highway for about 10kms and turned down Grassy ridge road and headed down into the Cells SCA. The drop down into the cells is steep and greasy red clay which made for entertaining antics by the boys as we skated down towards the Cells River. Once at the bottom we stopped at the Cells Hilton for a breather.

    DSC03064.jpg

    John led us on foot into the scrub a short way to witness one of the Cells Ewoks in its burrow. It was a friendly little fellow but not what I would call cute by any stretch of the imagination.

    DSC03063.jpg

    Back at the Cells Hilton I celebrated our visit by decorating the wall with an Old Bull Trail riders sticker.

    DSC03065.jpg

    We headed up out of the Cells Via Cells Jeep trail and on to Knodingbull road again. We followed Knodingbull south to Elands and Ellenborough Falls. There wasn’t near as much water going over the falls as last time Moose and I were there but the view as always was great.

    DSC03066.jpg

    From Elands It was a 24 km run across to the Comboyne Plateau, where a dingbat complete with pillion passenger pulled out on me on what looked like a Honda Goldwing or some other monsterous piece of shit. He didn’t even look before pulling out. You should have see the look in his passenger’s eyes when I just missed them! She shat herself I am sure! Two minutes later I had some other dingbat on a 250cc cruiser of some sort come straight at me on a corner!! Time to get off the tar I thought and we headed across towards Comboyne Rock. Five minutes after hitting the dirt I was again confronted with four dirt bikes coming at me with speed. Three near misses in 10 minutes WTF?

    Once we got past Comboyne Rock it was plain sailing down through Bago and onto my shed for a few beers to wash down the dust. We ended up doing just shy of 300kms for the day and covered some great country and rode some great sections of road and trails. Over a few beers we all agreed that we are indeed blessed to be living here on the Mid North Coast

    I think Mick has just about said it all.

    It was a great day, with good blokes and some of the best ADV tracks anywhere !

    It was also tops to see the Mighty Quinn ,AKA the hoon, getting out there again.

    What a top weekend. For Me and Moose it turned into a 4 day ride and it was a cracker.

    Just over 1800 klm travelled :woohoo:

    Day 1 out of St Albans has to rate as one of the best ADV ride days I’ve had. It had everything.

    Need to do some work before Mrs Kram Divorces me (again) :whistle: So RR to come.
