Man what a ride!....Old mother nature well & truly gave us a treat yesterday....Highlights...The mud!, then more mud...after that the mud...you know its muddy when your riding down hills & there is a water stream in the ruts. "Matt's hills" i think should now also be known as "chain reaction hill"...Funny thing thing about multiple riders going up a hill & if one has a spot of bother it causes a shocking flow on effect & thats what happened...a 2 wheeler went up then yogie was 99.9% way up then had to stop as a result of the 2 wheeler (was a crappy spot to be forced to stop) then im riding up & as im approaching yogie i see phils bike off the track up parked on an embankment & i thought.."how the hell did he get his bike in there lol...Matt had to face his demons again in the same spot he got caught up in but thank god we had an Ex moto cross racing who got all the 2wheelers up. i took the option of hanging back on a washout after 1 failed attempt to pass yogie & wait for everyone to get up the hill....Next came all ATV riders nightmare which was watching a beautiful near new TRX700 start to roll down a hill, lord knows how but after it got away & heaps of barrel rolls later covering about 50mtrs it came to rest. After a quick look over it appeared to be ok with only slight damage ( keep us post phil on how that all works out) possible bent steering stem but watching it you would of thought i was going to be worse....Yogie put in a good effort however his ability to get over logs could do with a bit of attention as i got sick of man handling tha tKFX700 of his. All in All out of the 8 riders we all had dramas at one point or another (some worse than others) as wet as it was things really only got tough when the rain started to set in, anitfog goggles my !@#$ !!!!!! ...most of ditched the goggles but having rain hit your face the way it did made it hard to enjoy the ride...The final gong was sounded when two of the bikes had trouble starting & with everyone drenched from head to toe we called it a day & what a day it was....i highly recommend anyone do this ride if they dont mind getting a bit dirty...is it a hard ride? i sy no but is it full of different challenges i say yes & my hat goes off to yogie as he really puts a good ride together....thanx again green man <---- it was all smiles from me!!!

well what a day, I loved it and quite frankly would of kept going, well at least finished the loop off, but there are few more tracks in there that I know of... thats for another day But we all did it and big JB has it covered, I got a few pics, a video of me trying to get up matts hill, but it has a few bad (quite alot actually) bad words when i relised I was going to miss the top by such a short margin But well done to matt (he wont read this, i know) your getting there bloke. but BUY quad for goodness sake. And finally while we were floundering on the hill, Dennis had to stop half way up on the big beast, then when he finanly got going again, he just started where he left off, those outlanders do the job so easly. And finally JB and fab, come ride with me any day of the week.

I thought the bloody thing was still in gear when i was dragging it out of the flora and as we now know it was in neutral
Not a great feeling being flat on your arse watching your quad race down the hill and turn left into a bank and then do a 360 roll then do end to end cartwheels and land sideways against a bank and a tree?

Have ran the tape over the machine and it is all straight the only thing i can see thats wrong is a little toe out on the left front.

That can be arranged.... next time just "reliable machines" ?
