Your Current Ride - Page 10

First time on the bike in aaages. Did the St Lucia - Indro loop + a bit of a play around a pump track I found across the river. 35kms all up!

Nearly got runover though. But alls well that ends well

So to celebrate the end of my exams, I didn't get blind drunk (straight away). Instead I rode up Mt Cootha with a mate.

Salty just wondering if you know the firetrail that brings you out right at the lookout? Damn its steep, proper hike a bike stuff. But the descent on the singletrack is great, really technical at the top but sorta opens up to really fast flowy stuff.

Hit ~54Km/h on the descent somewhere...

You're just up there lurking around the girls Xave...

Yeah I think I've messed about on that steep Westerly slope - it's arse over the back wheel, heart in your mouth, locked up back brake stuff if I remember correctly.

Xavo · 11th November 2012, 11:52 AM

The lookout sure has some great views

Yeah it's great, bugger going back down the firetrail - but my mate's right into downhill and he reckons it's doable on a proper DH sled.

The singletrack just off from it is really nice.

Good fun

Xavo · 14th November 2012, 11:43 PM

Masada · 15th November 2012, 08:11 PM

Darkseaalicous · 15th November 2012, 10:45 PM

Damn Xavo that is a mighty fine view.

Cheers Seal, she is a bit of a looker hey - should've asked for her number...

You have to throw your weight into corners to make sure that car stays down and she gets a little light in the front which makes it interesting.

Great fun all round though. The Russians have made it agricultural fun machine

**SamEEE** · 2nd December 2012, 02:49 PM

Any provision for taking the sidecar off?

**Bahlye** · 2nd December 2012, 03:29 PM

Sweet looking machine

He once restored/built a BSA Sloper from just a rear rim and the frame, took 3 years iirc..

Found this little gem, works out to be around $505 AU before importing. Looks like a beast of a rig. Nom nom, steel hardtails are awesome.
