Where have you been riding this season frosty?


i think the answer to that question is basically no where and not at all i cant drive myself and a whole lot of other reasons i just dont get to ride much if at all i even have a road bike but i cant do anything with it yet i have been working on the gt80 and pe400's hoping to go to the benalla vinduro and a few other spots but i still dont have an mx bike but i will just a matter of time my gt80 is a big project no matter how small it looks so many nos parts i have bought and i only have a bit of it together i need to get things rechromed etc etc all though it is looking good i dont have much room in the shed either good fun though thanks Michael. :)
