Title: Going back racing. I can do this just as good as these guys
Post by: Mike52 on September 10, 2010, 08:00:15 pm: Enduro special tests you gotta love them. :)
These new bikes are a lot easier to ride than the old stuff, just about ride themselves. :)

Yep. Especially when you're in the middle of screwing it up, and you're thinking "This is dumb".

Love the footage but what's with everyone (or so it seems) adding a poxy semi heavy metal soundtrack? Why couldn't you just leave the sound from the event? Be much better in my opinion. I just watched the DVD on the A4DE which came with the Transmoto magazine, totally spoiled by the frickin' music dub over the top. Nothing better than the sound of a 2 or 4t on song in the hands of an expert IMO. We can listen to music anytime.
Cheers,

I couldn't agree more BigK. Nobody likes music more than me but the clowns that put together these sound tracks seem to pick the crappiest pseudo heavy metal they can find. I had to turn the sound off after about thirty seconds. I'd rather sit through a commentator describing the action in Dutch, a language I have no clues about, than listen to this musical shite. Other than that, there's some funny situations on the tape that all of us can relate to in one way or another.

Some pretty heavy sand there from the looks.
Did anyone ride an Enduro in the mid 70,s on Stradbroke Island?
Heavy sand there too.

Post by: Pedro on September 11, 2010, 08:05:06 pm: :D Nice Clip Mike,
Brings back a few memories!!! Stradbroke Island :o what sort of sadist would put on an enduro there?? I rode a 6hr at Round Mt Cabarita in the early 80's on a 125 the flats were sand and hard yaka it was good going up the hills but those sand flats at the bottom :'( :'( after the event I had to strip the bike totally it even had sand in the head stem bearings part of the property the event was on is now the Jet Boat race circuit.
Cheers!
