Bloody hell!!!

A fella takes the arvo Off

and leave you lot

unsupervised

and the whole,place

Goes to the dogs. A bit like my kids when they think I am not home.

They can bag my XR or even my old XR

All they like.

I put it down to inferiority complex

It must feel bad to be on a big hill on your state of the art Austrian trail beast

And have someone on a 15year old trail bike pass you!!!

Thought I would add this last pic,just because I think it is funny

Gnarly rim dent :ohmy: A picture says a thousand words and that there is a classic example.

[Mick DMember]

Just to keep the excitement levels up,here are a couple more pics from previous rides on the same trails

More rainforest

Another hill

The creek crossing

A bit of single from loop 2

seems as though every Monday morning has an unfortunate story like this.

After posting the above post,I got to thinking that the kms I said i got out of the MX extra couldn’t be right. I just went to the shed and checked my diary (I keep track of every tyre I fit and note it in a diary) and it has in fact done 1008kms!!!!! Never have I had a tyre make it to a grand,let alone have more to give.

I wouldn’t run anything else but a UHD tube myself, admittedly they are a little harder to fit but worth the effort. In all the kms I do a year in the bush I have only ever had one flat tyre and that even tore the side wall of a brand new tyre so no tube other than a mousse was going to withstand that impact. Go the heavy duty tubes standard tubes are just false economy in my opinion.

I also have the MX extra fitted to my XR and am very happy with it. It has 708 km on it now and has plenty more rides left in it. TB fitted it to my XR in March for day 2 of my birthday ride and it has done a ton of trail work in some rough stuff since then,including all that rocky stuff at Sunny corner and God knows how many trips on the tar to go to the shop for some durries. :unsure: All the knobs are still intact with very little sign of the abuse it has had.
In the past we have factored about $30 per 100 km into a ride for tyre wear on the tyre destroying XR’s,the way this MX extra is wearing I can safely say that the wear factor will be about $20 per 100km thanks to the durability of the Pirelli and the great price Sutto supplies them for.

I for one will be fitting another MX extra when I need new rubber for the back of the pig.
