    Nice, I recon the 250 club is in peril. Can’t help notice most who bought 250 4t’s were looking for upgrades for more power, ie, cams, big bore kits and the like. That being said the 250s are fast in the tight stuff. Great if ya race I guess. The way I see it fast bikes for racing, powerful bikes for fun. :woohoo:

    If a 250 was really that much faster why do dudes win on 450s not 250s

    Two words, Daniel Milner? :whistle:

    Funny you should say that Scotty, I bought the 450 to set up to do a couple of things one being a few pony express races where the extra power may help but for the fact I have an easier and more achievable ( for me ) maintenance schedule …

    But I really like my 250 for the tight technical riding where , unless a gearing change makes a lot of difference , ‘THIS’ 450 didn’t suit me :)

    Nick,

    It will be interesting to see which bike you ride more once you dial in the 450.

    Adam.

    I’ll start by a gearing change to calm it down off the bottom and go from there , maybe if I ride both enough it’ll feel like I own a 350 :D

    Does Bigfoot exist? What about the giant panthers of the Blue Mountains or the Lock Ness Monster? Some say they have seen them but most doubt their existence. Same can be said for LC laying down his Berg. Has it ever been witnessed? :P

    Thor Force guards served me very well and I’m sure saven my knees in a few decent offs but as has been already said knee braces close to guarentee the save !!

    I have the Asterix cell 2 which are adjustable but I think I would go the gen 1 that most old bulls wear if I had my chance again. It’s great that you can adjust the brace simply but I find as you warm up and cool off the braces can become either tight or loose depending. When riding they stay put but if your helping a mate ( or yourself ) on foot up hills etc they can move a bit. Not enough to be a great concern but the red originals seems faultless B)

    Hi James , I can’t help with info on the courses mate but check out Ned Suesses instructional DVDs. Steve at Adventure Moto keeps them and they really help when it comes to throwing the big bikes around :)

    Thanks to all for a cracking weekend , it’s so good to catch up with the usual suspects and meet a heap more both on the trails and round the fires :)

    The riding was fun and I’ll never forget STMs lap on the postie ( I was with him every step for support :D )

    It was also nice to help the new King out of the Wauchope camps ravine , it was a big challenge ( shame we weren’t riding but on foot late Saturday night :D )

    Cheers to TB and Chris for a top site that’s made some life long friendships !!
