    the old forestry commission name, State Forests of NSW=SFNSW

    I just thought the road signs you had shown and the knowledge of plants endemic to areas might mean you were a “commish” man.

    Yep rainforest can be fun, loads of S/T and steep gullies and hanging vines and slippery slopes and tree to hit and lantana to run into, ???? wait on why is it we love riding there so much? does the word masochist apply here?

    A border ranges ST brethren area… yep you’re right Mick, nice species ID, you SFNSW by any chance?

    Nah was too steep for outriggers and pause, I was trying that at the moment that photo was taken, even the very fast bloke on the 525 behind me once lost momentum was manhandled back down, once you figured the line to take it was a quick runup, bounce from right to left across the rut in one spot and clear the crest, and brake hard cause all the others were waiting at the top for the next victim.

    I’ve been there (actually for real too, bush cypress/coastal cypress stands) it’s just around the corner from “Brown” road which i believe is a bit of a bummer.

    Than what happened Blue dog, same wet dream! Wake up and its over, I am betting you couldnt ride out of site on a bloody dark night!
    Stick to writing stories mate and let the adults ride the bikes.
    The only rythymn you would have is when your choking your chicken!

    yeah you’re right Squirrel old buddy ole pal, I fall off every 25 metres on my pushie, can’t ride for more than 10 minutes at a time without jelly rolling off the bike, stay at home feeding my “chicken”, and unfortunately no matter how much i try i’ll never get any better.:unsure:
    I do like motorbicycles heaps though and it is my dream that one day I’ll get one of my very own, until then I’ll run around making noises like a MkII pursang, or a bantam, I can do really really good mono’s in my PJs & thongs too.

    Ego is dirty word, don’t feed it… can’t injure it

    I like that picture it shows up the handsome profile of my youth, was taken a few years ago have let myself go a bit since those days:blush: not quite as dashing these days
    This is a good bit of lite hearted intramanet fun, nuttin’ too serious, fellas I don’t take much too heart, we have politicians for that & you’re a good sport squirrel (like a clay pidgeon I reckon), & you make my day less tedious.

    Squirrel you are the mammal.

    For Sale…… One WR 450!!!!!
    i got to have a play on the new 07 Gas Gas 300. I emedietly felt at home, the cockpit comfortable, ergos slim, seat flat and hard. The torqy power of the 300 brought a big grin to my face! Brought back memories of my 98 Yam WR250 2t. The marzochi fork and sachs shock felt just right for me, you know when you jump on a bike and it just feels right?
    We rode the section with the woops in it at near the camp site, i was having a ball flicking it neatly through the trees and berms, and skippded across the woops with little effort. We switched bikes to come back through, and although my bike wasn’s on song, it still felt a complete opposite to ride. Felt top heavy, power not as thrilling (maybe jet issue?) and basically felt like jumping on 91 XR 250 (yes TB i did own one!!)
    All in all, a bloody great trailbike, light, powerful, nimble, and just very enjoyable to ride. It certainly has me thinking of getting back onto the ringa ding dingers!!! Perhaps the new Husky WR300?!!

    Off road I personally don’t like the feel of 4Ts, the feel sluggish at best, they maynot be, but they feel that way, all the weight is up high, the gyro effects are annoying, they flameout at low revs too easily and that damn engine braking, ruins my rythym.
    I went fourstroke twice, then very very quickly went back to 2T and probably will stay that way until I get too old for the response, then i may go 4T again
    Get the smoker mucho mucho fun

    exit the corner feet up,
    2nd gear ring ding ring brap brap,
    snatch third brap
    click into fourth brap
    pull the clutch, snick down 2, ring ding ding ding… lock the rear, hard on the front brake up onto the tank pivot around, dump the clutch still in second nail the throttle undercut the bloke on the valve muncher, snick into third come out sideways 20′ roostertail behind leant over at 45, right foot out skimming the earth, stand up on the rear find fourth and do it all again.

    when you and a 2 stroke are on song it’s almost like sex.

    But they are not everyones cuppa I will say that, some blokes just can’t find the rythym and probably should stay 4T

    I shouldn’t say too much cause he will see my tact, but now we know so much more about the squirrel yet what did i give away about myself, beside like every other bloke here I rode road as well?

    Now deductive reasoning between the non squirrell members should narrow it down from these and other responses given

    He owns a multitude of bikes, fairly precise about them too
    ,I own three different jap bikes, two KTMs, a BSA and a Harley

    He has been riding with a few other members, therefore they know him in his normal guise

    ever seen Crash or Tripper kick starting their agg bikes on a hill

    he is a bit anal about abbreviations
    Are you alright mate? “e” start is that something new or cant you spell electric, yes I like electric start

    He’s been known to go “au naturale’ “
    different when you pissed and rip the gear of for a streak,

    Surely this could narrow his identity down somewhat…

    Mr Blue
    Shh don’t tell anybody, but we’re hunting sqirrels, wanna catch him and put him in a cage and put him on show:P

    See TB I knew a “Candy” once in the Biblical sense of “knowing” someone:evil: , top sort easy going and eager as…….. well let’s just say that’s another story…last I saw of her was a spread in a major mens magazine several years later so when someone wants “Candy” it is what i immediately think of :).

    I’m busy playing with insurance companies for work today and quality of insurer rates high with me.

    Ok TB you want him to ring up and ask for “Candy”
    maybe a long weight as well?

    “Hello can I have candy?”
    Sure little boy what does your Mum say?

    BTW as someone mentioned ring around tell them you are ringing around but also be mindful that if you have to claim, who will be the better to deal with?

    Let me confide in you blokes for a bit, I’m not much of a beer drinker so on a hot summers day one of my favourite pastimes is to refresh myself with a good “Dicken Cider”
    It’s not just me either it’s very very popular all over, particulalrly with the ladies, in fact I was listening to a lady down the street the other day telling her husband that she could use a good Dicken Cider, he apparently doesn’t like it too much.
    My wife says her best friend can’t seem to get enough Dicken Cider.
    My Sister in Law also said she enjoys a good Dicken Cider.
    And even the older generation seem to like a good Dicken Cider it’s all the rage with one of the ladies down at the nursing home lately.
    It can happen anywhere to you just get a hankering for it, why just at work the other day and one of the secretaries came up & asked me if I could get a Dicken Cider, I didn’t hesistate and gave her one right there & then, she was most pleased with it too, reckons she’ll be having another real soon.

    So there you go all over the world people can benefit from the simple pleasure of a good Dicken Cider.

    I like you squirrel you remind me of a???? well a cheeky little furry Bloke actually, maybe you could be our mascot for any of the old bulls in competition, maybe even do a bit of cheerleading for our higher profile members.
    So Mr Squirrel what sort of bike does one ride between nut gathering timess, do you find it is hard to buy protective gear? obviously it would be “e” start

    Now we really need to know what type of squirrel you are, so we don’t accidently insult your heritage see there is so many Eastern Gray, Red squirrel,Fox squirrel, an Abert or Kaibab squirrels, Douglas squirrel, Pine squirrel, Japanese squirrel, Persian squirrel, Arizona gray, maybe even a Western gray squirrel.

    In the spirit of our newly found friendship betwixt human motorcycle riders and squirrels here is some interesting reading for you our new mascot
    http://www.deadsquirrel.com/
    http://www.squirrels.org/

    Sometimes when I really gave my roadbikes a good hammering coming out of a corner they would get a bit squirrelly, and while I enjoy that sensation do you believe it is an accurate depiction of a squirrel?

    And why are squirrels reputedly so secretive?, you should be proud in your squirrelness, give a squirrel roar and display your nuts.

    Mr Blue

    I like furry Critters they are cute and need nuturing, unless it is a rat, but we have other more predatory furry animals that help out with that issue.
