Nah you can keep the mud. I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon. Every ones eyes would feel like they have been gouged after all that mud in the eyes.
 Where was it held?

Mud and more mud....  You warm/dry weather guys need some rain ??  ;)  ;D






















It was east of Palmerston Nth, through the gorge, past Woodville. Just on the other side of Dannevirke. About 1 1/2 hours drive from my place.

P.S. I hate mud too and haven't seriously ridden in it for about 20 years. Seriously!

btw, what's that little 4-stroke? Number 48.

I see the Stig was riding again, looks like a good padock to ride in DJ- in the dry. I reckon we could take about a third of that slop and it would make our dust bowel just right over here ;D. Did you ride DJ?. Did you loose any bodies/bikes in there :D. I'm shaw Mouse and Vallie are looking forward to cleaning the bikes and riding gear ::). Cheers mate, John.

Wow DJ, some memories of growing up in the lot!

We had one event that muddy in Darwin, we started our season before the wet had finished. Muz and I had a ball.

Living in Wgton if you didn't ride in the mud and rain you didn't get to ride much at all

Great pics, great memories

Yeah, you're right now that I look closer. The shape of the clutch cover gives it away.
The engine looks small and the whole bike looks skinny from that angle...............

Hi John, I didnt ride today, I stood out in the rain taking pictures to show you guys what real motocross is all about  ;)  ;D  ;D  (do you think I crazy ;) ) It the moment I'm packing boxes and boxes and boxes of crap because we take over the new house next Friday, so have been to busy to get bikes ready
The day before would've been perfect, but it rained all night and all day !!!
If it had've been dry I dont know how many jumps there would've been, but it would've been alot.

#48 yes a DR400.

Its amazing how some guys can ride in mud like that. I walked the whole track taking photos and it was bloody hard just to stay upright.
#30 is one guy who can ride mud.
