    i think i kind-a agree with mick.
    if bmw made a trapping valve 2-stroke bike, excluded all the accessories, bling, electronic control, battery, history, condescending attitude, and striped it down to a dirt bike and put a kick starter on it. kept all the clever stuff that others should be doing such as coaxial counter shaft and swing arm pivot, etc. i would buy one and even resist the urge to put honda stickers over the bmw stickers.
    if you look at the past bikes i have owned (rego cr, rego yz, xr, tm) i think this is what i like in a dirt bike.

    BMW do have a 300cc 2 stroke. It’s called a Husqvana WR300. :)

    Yeah well definately have to get back up there soon. Maybe link these trails and do a Capperty ride.

    Tiny and me got to Clarence about 7am, bit of a chill in the air but the sun was shinning and it looked like it was going to be a great day. We were there to try and link up some of the single tracks to make the run out to Wolgan gap a bit more interesting.

    We parked only a few K’s from the zig zag and dropped into some single track staight away. This was a nice easy flowing track that brought us out at the MX track. From here we followed the well used track around the back of the MX track and past the old quarry, across the main trail and onto another single track. This track took us up a few short sharp hills and twisted though the gully until we popped out at the pine forest camping ground.

    We went up around the back of the pine forest and followed a trail which came back to the pine forest and through a short single track.

    We desided to head out towards the lost city to explore a few of the side tracks that come of this trail. Found a sweet trail that wound though the bush up some more short sharp hills and came back out at the start of the Lost City trail.

    From here we headed out along the black fellows hands trail to explore the side tracks out towards the end of the trail. On the run down into Wolgan Gap Tiny got a flat front which we changed down in the gap.

    We went across the Wolgan valley road and before we headed up the hill towards the lookouts we turned off down another great single track which took us along the bottom of the mountain. This track came out onto a fail trail that seems to run parallel with the ridge trail that goes to the lookout. Any one who did the hillend ride would know the ridge trail, I got no idea what it’s called.

    Anyway a few k’s along this trail and we spotted a massive hill climb that went straight up the ridge. Two goes at it seen me only making it about 3/4 the way up. Tiny motored up first go on the Husky only to find it was a dead end :laugh:.

    We followed the fire trail futher up the gully before we found a trail which headed up the ridge. This trail started as a twin track and slowy became a single trail that would its way up the ridge, though some rock cutting and finally came out at the top ridge trail near the lookout, great track. This would make a good detore on the ride to Capperty.

    We turned and headed back towards the Zig Zag, back up through Wolgan Gap. A few k’s from Wolgan Gap we dropped of onto a twin track. Along here we found a great single track which went up and down though gullies, over rocks and logs and finally cam back to a sharp rocky down hill which came in the back of wolgan gap. This track was great fun and a much better alternate route into wolgan gap.

    Back up the Blackfellows hands trail and found a few more good single track before we hit the mother load. Turned onto a single track that just went forever. This track was like nothing ive riding at Clarence, red loamy dirt the any tyre would hook up on. It wound back and forth though tight trees with all the corners having small berms on them. This trail went and went and went. Up down, twisted, turned. I was having a ball, overshooting corners everywhere and blasting from corner to corner. This is easily the best single track ive ever riden at calrence if not the best ever. Didn’t measure it but must of been 15km long. It was also noted by Tiny and me how this trail seemed to have no rock, this is very unusual for the area. We finally came back out on the Blackfellows hands trail not far from the pine forrest. It was starting to rain so we headed back to the car.

    Well our gaol was to make this a more interesting trip and we far exceded our expectations. Found some awsome trails, can’t wait to get back and ride them again. :)

    Love your work Boony, mmmm I do like the DRZ’s they are a decent cheap alternative to a real bike.

    Cheers
    Chris.

    I’ll remember that Chris next time where on a long ride and at the end of the day a little bit of single track has you wr250 riders whining like a girl and us DRZ rider were just wanting more. :laugh:

    And by the way DRZ’s aren’t cheap, everything else is just way over priced.

    in reply to: Mittagong to Hampton, Caves 2 Caves NSW #132470

    Hey whats the deal, I have gone missing from the list. Im still in.

    in reply to: bitter bling… #132134

    I found the same with the M12. I’m not the most taxing of riders on tyres. As Whiterocket stated ok in a straight line and even on hills but unpredictable on corners especially when you get back on the gas. And again what power the DRZ has comes on pretty smooth but the M12 still seems to let go.

    in reply to: bitter bling… #132130

    You hoon. As for tyres, stick with the S12. I got M12 on the DRZ and it can struggle at time.
