Nice looking bike, sounded good too, Mick looked like a little kid riding his Dads bike, the suspension was too still for him  ;-)

Other than some suspension tweaking, the big girl is a sweet ride. Felt like I finally found some flow towards the end of the session. Wasn't happy about the push back to the car after using a full tank of fuel! John's track is a real hoot to ride.

Hey mick, I ran out of juice over the back as well but managed to grease my way back to the car on the last drops in the bottom of the tank..it was close! its a nice easy track to ride other than the "Hinton switchback" on top of the hill. I just couldn't sort that out... when I thought I had it I would hit a loose rolly rock and it would be all over...its a neat challenge!

I think nearly everyone has run out of fuel there, I guess it's rare to have a track where your on the mainjet for so long?  With four 4th/5th gear straights.

I wish this track was in Qld so I could ride it.  Rare to get a fast and flowing track where you can really wind them out  these days.

I actually like the switchback, it's an interesting part of the track & I didn't have any drama's there.. A ski jump off the top of the hill after that and couple others here and there & the track will be complete. Wish it was in my back yard.

we discussed the ski jump and we thought we could pull the switch back right round on itself and go back down the hill then return and put a ski just short of the brow so you can jump down the hill nicely....
