Thanks guys.

Yes Krusty that is what you missed out on. It’s the easier stuff in the area with nice flowing trails.

I enjoy doing the editing but Imovie was giving me the shits last night. Just have to spend more time on it.

I’m hoping to complete a 70 – 80km loop on the weekend with a select few gun riders. They all ride better than me so I’m hoping to improve my ability a bit.

STM next time you guys are down this way I’ll take you there.

TB yes it is near there. You would have rode past a few of the tracks.

Toby has to go overseas soon. No one to beat here now.

Changed the jetting last night to try and save some fuel and gain more low down power. Test ride today in tight singles.

Nice and crisp with heaps of power (maybe to much) :ohmy: comes onto the pipe a bit to strong for the tight nasty stuff.

Still uses a shit load of fuel. 48km and about 0.5L off reserve. Might drop the main jet down a couple of sizes.

Is that the Gaser Mal?
Maybe the throttle control needs backing off? :woohoo:
Maybe not all your fuel is going thru the motor, have you looked at float heights, might be losing fuel out the bowl vent lines, just a thought, the fuel use sounds excessive ….

Yeah mate it’s the Gasser. From what I read they use a fair bit of fuel. The float level is fine. Tip the bike just past 45 deg and fuel runs out, which is correct from other forums.

Throttle control? What’s that? It’s a 300 2t, I didn’t buy it to be a super smooth rider. :laugh: :woohoo:

I just carry a couple of litres of fuel when doing longer rides.

That’s awesome STM. :woohoo:

Nice editing.

I was chatting to a mate the other day about doing the same sort of thing with a few cameras.

Yep supermoto is FUN!!! Have a go Razzle. You don’t need anything flash for track days or even racing unless you want to win.

I got a flash set of wheels now but started with a set of RGV rims and machined them up to fit my WR400 and then the Sherco.

Takes me about an hour to change wheels over.

The supermoto club of NSW hire the Eastern Creek Go Cart center every now and then for track days. Haven’t been there myself but a mate said it was excellent. Oran Park Go Cart track was the best place I rode years ago. They put a dirt section in with 2 table tops to jump. We used to go to Wakefield Park a few times a year during the week.

This has to be the best supermoto track in the world.

I use spray paint. A bit on the bars and a bit in the grip and slide on then tie wire as well. Haven’t had one move yet and I hang on to the bike pretty well. :laugh:

Happy birthday Menace. Hope you had a good one and didn’t go to work.

Murph is up near Exmouth. Camping in a popular spot but surfing all over the place. He has had issues with Tiger sharks nearly every time he goes fishing or surfing.

One story was he was surfing by himself for most of the day and when he got back in the boat a Tiger the nearly size of the boat turns up and circles the boat. :S

He sends a report out to a few friends every week when he’s in town. I have some awesome photos of whales and Tiger sharks.

On topic, it’s a bit sad for old mate but they are always around.

Stretching both side of the forearms and massaging to top of the forearm helped me heaps. Do it as often as possible through out the day. Also been generallty fit helps too.

Breathing was big thing I learnt a few years back. You tend to hold your breath when the body is stressed (riding shity tracks or lifting heavy things). Next time try to concentrate on breathing deep and conrolled when riding the nasty stuff. Also loosen your grip on the bike at every opportunity, down hills grip the bike with your knees (thanks Crash) and relax your upper body. Makes a big difference to getting through the day.

Bike set up is important too Eags, as Gav said costs you nothing to move bars around. Pick a section of track you don’t like much and do a few times with different bar setups.

The Dynaflex is a cool thing. I had a go of one at Suttos once. Really works the arms but big muscles only let you lift heavier things not have the endurance to ride all day.

Oh yeah and RIDE MORE!!!! :laugh: :laugh:
