Now I know it’s hard to believe but in my twenties and early thirties I was a fitness fanatic Mr Menace, the key to any sort of program is to remember your goals and visualise what you are going to achieve.
Riding a pushie is an excellent start, Rain.. just a little water, cold…. just try a bit harder and you’ll heat up, heat….. Oh well that one’s hard to avoid, but keep focused.

Situps will prbably be the hardest, not actually doing them, but getting the lower limbs to stay put while your upper body fights gravity, practise, several times a day, in the morning do a few , whenever you think of it, just lay down and try.

I know you can get there, you’re a fairly determine Bloke so go forth and become “super spidy menace”.

Thanks alot you mongrels, because there was no-one posting here i had to research mobile scaffolding, and while doing so apparently fell asleep at my desk with my finger on the mouse button, and because there is video on mobile phones three of the girls in the office now have “get out of gaol free” tickets…. DOH.

Christ Mobile scaffolding is interesting, almost as interesting as that farce know as V8 supercar(snores), bring back touring cars with honest to goodness sit on the edge of your seat proper production type cars, and real world capabilities, not this “good ole boy” AUSCAR crap.

Who cares who’ll win the V8s, just be a clone of the second placegetter anyway

There has been no posts for 2 and a half hours on a friday arvo, either you Blokes have instigated POETS day or are actually working?

Comeone Bulls post something, anything, I need to stop being productive……

WTG Mick, That’s exactly the sorta stuff I’m getting done later this year (next summer) from all reports of Aussies who’ve had the mods done, the bikes are chalk and cheese after the Gorr treatment.
And top value for money.

TB

Any particular reason TB?

I like Mr Dastardleys on-screen persona, like a breath of fresh air, and whomever he is, I takes me hat off to him he runs rings around my knowledge base.
I suspect he’s someone who has owned a prominent bike related business, and has been around the Competition arena for many a year.

There was another Bloke here that was incognito as well, I believe he was a prominent Bike racer of the 70s and 80s and mayhaps imports a very popular brand, but when I alluded to it, he disappeared and hasn’t returned.

Bugger too, cause he is actually a top Bloke.

I’ll see what may be able to be arranged Mr Moto, would be good to ride some new stuff, and meet you Blokes.

You can buy Polarised safety glasses now in the popular “bubble” shape, I just (ahem) acquired some…..

Wow Bull that’s a nightmare, bad enough on the little warlock when it happened, the big stroker woulda been a right handful, I’m like TB, one throttle sticking “Moment” too many and it rates high on the regular lube schedules.

Once totalled my RZ350 in front of my best mate and my Soon to be bride some sideways showing off in the driveway and when I back off the throttle it was still pinned, christ a 70hp twin smoker can accelerate quick when you don’t want it too……………………

Damn glad you’re OK plastic and metal is easily replaced.

Old Bulls aren’t

Shoot That reminds me STM, those maps, I better get onto that, cause me old mate down your way with all the maps just retired they tell me.

I’m planning on getting down for a ride your way asap STM, jI keep kicking myself for never doing it when I worked down there…. but my thinking was “ride in the bush!!! WTF, that’s what MX tracks are for”

Slow learner I is.

Ok OK, enough with the touchy feely, or it’s guna be renamed Old Steers Trailriders.

I digress Moto and take back my compliment… what have you done by starting this up? you cunning Pommie you knew full well it would turn out with closet doors slamming open and professions of undying Man love………. :blush: Thus undermining our true Aussieness, this being your ultimate plan to conquer us by pyschological stealth.

I still wanna meet all, some more than others but in a Standard Aussie Manly type of way, not a European kissy kissy sort of way (not that there’s anything wrong with it, if that’s your thing an all).

That only works if the jerry is empty when you start otherwise you have to guess how much you’re going to put in. I think the tag is a better idea but I’m thinking maybe a tag that I can write on so I can log it otherwise I might top it up and not add oil straight away then see the tag and wonder if ‘4am tony’ did it and didn’t tell ‘post coffee tony’. Too anal?

I have several cans, if there’s any left in the big 2T jerrycan, when I get back it goes in the Quad, or mower or amower/whippersnipper can.

I try not to use pre-mix more than several weeks old in the bikes.

So yes that is a good idea AB

Are we talking proper Roostertails of rocks and stones and granite and mud, or just “soaking” in water crossings, cause if it’s “Soaking” I’ll put my hand up… Mea Culpa.

[Bruce CurtisMember]

Bathy is a Kiwi Freak tho’ AB, Him and I lit out from a pack of fast lads one day chasing down the leader, in a dinnerplate sized rock-strewn downhill I was in 4th going as fast as i dared, bouncing from rock to rock and just maintaining control, he comes past me rock solid and stable riding bank to bank like i was sitting still, felt like an F1-11 sonic boom.

Plus I know and occassionally ride with the other three Qlders that made it up that day, and none of them are exactly short on bike-skills.

It’s a horror, saw it from a 4wd Workcar once working out of Batemans, it’s far nastier than it looks.

Last time i roosted anyone intentionally I was 25, and he was stuck trying to find a gear in the middle of the boggiest chopped out MX track around, so I filled him and his bike right in, front brake roost at that through the gears… felt like a real mongrel afterwards as I had filled his gearbox up with muck through the gaping big hole that had appeared in his output side……. Don’t have to worry about him getting me back anymore he highsided at around 180 into a tree in ’95.
I have never and will never intentionally roost any trailrider, it’s just poor darts, myself i copped some off some uncouth QLDerss last year that left me with bruising and blood streaming from my mouth, chest and neck, all because he couldn’t stand the fact that a twofiddy was outside passing him on the open dirtroad.
So to anyone i roost, it’s wholly unintentional, just a side-effect of my bikes acceleration factor….. :blush:

I tend to agree with you both, (even tho’ I no longer am part of the 300 church) the strength of the 300exc engine is it’s torque, the revered “3 Stroke” tag given to them. They’re never going to out torque a 525/530, but it’s not what it’s about, contrastly they’re never going to wind up as quick as an SX250 or any other 250 MXer, but again, not what they’re about. They are a great “everyday” hi-performance do anything powerplant, trundle up a steep hill just off idle, or pulling great long wheelies along a firetrail, whilst giving the 450s a shake up. All the while being reliable, light and forgiving.

But they will still get SPOOGE after a while.
