Sorry for going off topic  ::) but i always had an unnatural fear of snakes  ::) (unnatural when you consider i grew up in the UK where there is more chance of meeting an honest polititian than a snake and i live in NZ where there are no snakes whatsoever )
But anyway since i was a kid i was always terrified of the things , i couldn't even go look at the buggers in the zoo   ;D what a Wooser  :-*
Some years ago i thought i need to address this  ;) so on a trip to north Queensland i went to a wildlife park Billibong sanctuary nr Townsville. Prior to going i had a couple of beers to steady the nerves  ::) and bottom line i faced the biggest unnatural fear i had  ;D i handled several snakes and got a bit confident and tried to bend one the wrong way  ::) the keeper near tore me a new one and explained that they aint toys and although they aint venomous they can bite a fair chunk out of you .

Point is most people have a fear of something or another and snakes were mine . Facing the fear head on was very empowering and i recomend anybody to step up and face your fear head on . Now i just have to work on big jumps and jealous husbands and im sorted  ;D

nice day here but crap at the same time,bit overcast but still very warm good day, the crap part got my bike out to go riding and discoverd it had a flat rear  no spare tube= no riding  :'(.now sitting down watching the touring car masters replay from the gold coast all the old gt's, mustangs , hq's and some other oldskool stuff  ;D.
on snakes got attacked by of all things the most placid snake of all a green tree snake a couple of weeks ago while riding.he was soaking up the warmth on a hard clay track and i startled him he had three goes at my bike as i went past him i was only riding at walking speed.looks like a brown in vmx247's photo wouldn't like to be that close to one of them.cheers

Yea  thanks Marc ,Bindis more DJs thing  ;)

Pulse Still beating here brother  :) pleased you scored some parts  8) always a good day when a deal goes the way you want it to ;D

Im just getting my KXs ready for the VMX series  :) missed the 1st rd due to date changes and a prior appointment  ::)

My 74 is a bit redundant here now as they call the Class Classics not pre 75 and 76 KXs are considered classics  :-\ I prefer the true pre 75 rule as run in Aussie but hey im just happy somone else is putting on the events  ;)

 I will ride my 74 at the Classic scamble club events in Auckland , until the Metisse arrives then i might have to relocate it and one of my 74 KX125s  to Qld for the Aussie titles next year   :)

Was a crap day, waited 3 months for BJ racing to get me longer shock ends for the Falcons and they sent wrong (way to small) eyes = Bugger
Quick blat in the Mustang,home for B/que and brew saved the day.

I reckon you're wrong there Bill, we've got at least 120 of the little c**ts & they've just started their 3 yearly make themselves visible cycle >:( >:(
