    we’ve cancelled the Trials at Mt Kembla today due to the heavy rain! At Albion Park there was 129mm of rain overnight and more heavy stuff coming.
    Take care out there and enjoy yourselves..

    after trying for over an hour last week of trying to kick the IT into life, I went back to basics and found the coil earth in pretty bad shape. All fixed now and it starts on 3rd kick from cold!
    If you are doing anymore rides in the area, I’ll drag a mate down as well, he knows that place well.

    Perfect, thanks for the offer, but I’ll be out at Lochmaree on my IT400. If I wasnt going there i would have tagged along.

    As I’m a real novice with this proper trail thing after many years of trail riding on a trials bike, I pinched the cook’s XT250. Yeah I know it’s a 4T, but it ticked all the right boxes, light, fun and with more k’s on the clock I reckon it’ll get more power out of it. As you will read in other posts, it got up some snotty hills around Nowra with the slightest of moaning. I also have an IT400 I want to get on the trails, but it has to be rego’d.
    I’ve heard the TM and the KTM do great 2T in the 250 and 300 range, but I think you have to sort the suspension etc to get the most outa them.
    Good luck!

    thanks all. I had an idea of the basics, what to take in the bumbag or backpack but this extra info is very welcome. Another item we are looking at is a decent alloy rack over the rear guard.
    All of the items mentioned arent that pricey, just have to get it sorted and practise the tyre changes now!

    thanks STM, I’d like to take the IT400 out, but until rec rego comes in, the XT will be the one! Its a new bike so its maintained pretty well. After the Nowra ride I know we will have to get a bash plate at least..I have ridden on a few rides with mates, so am used to carrying a backpack and camelback. Ive ridden trials for over 26 years, so some extreme stuff is ok..Just have to get used to this sitting down stuff!
    Hope to join the in the fun soon!
