yeah Magoo - I raced previously at Symmons Plains - at 3 O'clock in the afternoon it peaked at 2 degrees and after riding through the creek crossing brass monkeys wasn't the right word.

Speaking of which - the 81 Nationals at Symmons - I was there to but didn't ride on the day - helped the local Honda rider Peter McKay.

cheers

   Gorby, Fatboy and Thomo last year at their best with the Tas Scramble Club.  These are just three photos that I was fortunate enough to be able to have taken.  The club was mad enough to let me on track to take some photos of my Hubby and young son.  Next thing, 'Hey you can do presentation photos for the end of year awards...' :o  Anyway survived that and now I am looking forward to with eager anticipation, the Classic Nationals next month.  ;D

  Hopefully the sun will shine and I can try my best at snapping a pic of you all belting around the track that has been lovingly crafted by the boys here.  All the photos that I take will be launched on my site that I have through Google.  http://picasaweb.google.com/scrampics If its sunny there will be lots :) If its cloudy, not as many as movement and low light don't mix :(   Feel free to take a look(at the competition).  Look forward to seeing you all soon.  Can't wait

Me again.  Just realised that the photo order is Fatboy(in case you didn't guess) Gorby and Thomo.  If I didn't correct it, I'd know about it  ::) ;D

So Gorby is x82 if I read your description correctly? That's really interesting riding gear he has on.
I haven't seen anything quite like it - but I haven't been to Tasmania.

 82x is Gorby. :)  If there was racing, you would need the new thermals this morning, we live on the East Coast, little over a 1 1/2 hours from the track and it is -4 degrees here this morning.  We have no water at the moment.  Little nippy  :o

  From our front gate just a few minutes ago.  As you can see, bush all around, Hubby doesn't have far to go for a ride.  Bring along the woolies :)

  We're very lucky.  Hubby justs creeps along quietly so as not to upset the neighbours and then once he's in the bush, well that's different! ;D  Also, down the road a little, at Fingal, it was -8!

hello wombat,
                  my riding gear tends to bring comments :D.
Its what I use for trailriding as well.
I use a cutdown Smith goggle facemask setup to keep roost out of my nose and mouth.
The coat is an ex army surplus item that keeps me warm when its cold and breathes pretty well when its
hot.
The pants are chap style overpants made out of ripstop canvas that has been crash tested on coarse gravel several times.
Fatboy reckons they are my goatherding pants and once almost started a donation collection to buy me some "proper" trousers !


If you look hard you can see that the front wheel is off the ground ;D ;D scary power ;D
