    well mate im only 37, have nowhere near the experience any of you guys have, let alone the skills. i had one of those days last sunday. (read my post in ride reports). now im nursing 3 mangled ribs and various other sore bits..
    i think it was definately a mental thing for me i was on a new bike, with new people, on new ground. i wasnt trying to show off or anything and i crashed all day.
    it was like a disease eating at me. i even had the horrible thoughts like “i cant do this anymore.what am i doin. im too old. why did i buy this bike. etc.

    that was sunday, its now tuesday night and im already hangin for another ride.

    i guess it all comes down to the love you have for it.

    menace. (if this makes no sense im probably still concussed!!)

    Menace you must be concussed because thats the most sense you have made since you joined, ha ha good work for an orange rider! (maybe orange ground hugger) lol :laugh: :laugh:

    Good work champ

    20. KTM RAT 576 maybe will know 20/01 PM

    Moto is driving the support vehicle with Chop’s 5″ x 8″ box trailer, the support vehicle is to carry our bags (Back pack size only please)and should we have a breakdown or injury.

    Please read the below and have your bike ready for you and everybody on the ride

    With the distance that this ride will cover all bikes that attend the ride will need to be mechanically sound.

    All riders will need to carry on them

    1 x new Chain joining link

    1 x Front tube, front tube can be used in the front or rear

    1x Spark plug

    Please check your bikes over and cover the basics as it affects everybody, we all know stuff happens and that’s trail riding but I just want avoid silly things cropping up.
    Basics include:
    Tyres, chain, sprockets, wheel brgs, spokes, cable ends, etc,

    There will plenty of guys there with tyre levers, pumps, nuts, bolts, wire, chain breakers, cable ties, plug spanners tape and bits and pieces so don’t stress if you don’t have those things, but bring them if you do and be self sufficient.

    If you can pack a spare air filter with your chain lube and pack it in your bag and let the service vehicle take it, then if its dusty you can change it rather than clean it. (supercheap auto sell pre oiled for most bikes for $14.99 or there abouts)
    One final thing can all bikes have heavy duty tubes fitted, ultra heavy duty are better but heavy duty will do.
    We are leaving the Zig Zag Railway car park at 8.00am saturday morning! Sorry but it has to be 8.00am because of the distance we have to cover, please don’t be late[/b]

    Everybody with standard size fuel tanks need to refuel twice from Jerry Cans carried by the support vehilce.

    If we can get 8, 20 litre Jerry cans and people can buddy up and share a Jerry can we only have to carry 8 Jerry cans.

    Those that we know will have big tanks fitted are.

    Chicken 24L
    Boulder 25L
    TB 16.5L

    Is there anyone else?, if so let TB or Moto know please, if you have a 20L Jerry can please bring it along and we will sort out the number we need and who can share them on the morning. Note leave Jerry can empty, you can fill them at Yetholme, that way Moto hasn’t got to cart them all day full for no reason.

    With a support vehilce to load and trailer etc to check ready on the morning can you please get to the starting point as early as possible.

    Cheers and please keep checking this thread for updates :)

    I let a ride, be it a race or a trail ride come to me, as weird as it sounds I just find I let the rhythm come to me, never push to get up to speed it just has a way of working I find that and now days I never go past 8/10’s I am not interested if they are faster they will and can pass. Always concentrate to the end, I always back of on the run home, no point in busting yourself after a good day out I figure

    Moto is coming down after work on friday with his empty trailer, that will be after 4 on friday. The ride is nothing like the christmas party ride, nothing at all. You need to bring a sleeping bag for the friday night with a pillow. Its a done deal Eagle
