    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: not likely Rocket. KTM haven’t made a bike I like yet. I haven’t riden the 2012 models but I doubt I’d buy one.

    I borrowed a 250 2T for a couple of months and it was ok to ride but it didn’t jump out of the shed and say ride me like my other bikes do. :P

    Even the Mrs said it’s just a f$#king KTM. :laugh:

    Nice edit Mal!

    Trails look good.

    Yeah I have a vented helmet strap wrapped around the chin piece. Seems to work ok and not get hooked on trees.

    Most trails on that loop are in excellent condition.

    Here is a teaser video of one loop I have sorted for the Bday ride. Has a bit everything in it.

    Medogrocket and I have decided to do two different styles of rides.

    Mal5.1’s group will be a kind of introduction to grade 3. The terrain will be grade 3 with a fair bit of fire trail, a few hill challenges but will be aimed at the less experienced riders that want to try a bit more technical stuff. I’ll ask the more experienced riders in this group to help, encourage and offer advice to the less experienced riders so that they enjoy the ride as well. And my group will be riding off at a more respectable time of 9am ish. There is still frost at 10am around here.

    Medogrocket’s group will be the more experienced riders that don’t want to do Galey’s ‘hills of death’ ride. He will use some of the same tracks from my loop and Galey’s loop and throw some other good stuff in as well. As he said he will be winging it most of the way but he does know his way around. He also knows the snotty stuff that Galey will be using and avoid it like the plague (maybe).

    You can choose which rider you would like to follow on the day, pm me or you can ride on your own if that’s your thing.

    The first post will be updated as well.

    Who wants to put my tyres on at sunny corner
    I will pay either in beers or cash

    Make a donation to OBT and I’ll change it for you mate. I quite enjoy it now. ;)

    You get it off the bike and bring it to the Grade 3 drinking quickshade. You have to put air in it too. I hate that bit.

    Make sure you have a HD tube or put 6 or more pinches in it. :laugh:

    You be fine on my loops Wolfie. 1inarow gave my second loop the ok this morning. It will have a few tricky bits for you have a go at but as I said before there will be plenty of help on offer. You will also get another go at stage 1 of the Ski Run (or Galey’s Tunnel of Love as he calls it).

    just remember mal. put arrows with the word esky on them so I know when to peel off and sneek back and raid snows esky. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

    No worries mate. One of my loops you are never more than 10min trail ride from the esky. If you sacrifice an open beer on top of the esky you’ll be able to smell it the whole ride. :woohoo:

    Cheers

    No worries mate. You could do my ride in the morning and Medogrockets mystery grade in the arvo.

    Thanx Mal, That`d be great if possible..
    I am fine with it, seems Ace has more road oriented rubber on the Beemer :whistle:

    Cheers ;)

    Ace, you’ll be fine throught BF mate. Me and the girl rode two through there a few times on the orginal Beener slicks. We stuck to the major roads though. Not sure which way TB is taking you from Clarence.
