Well on the weekend, Blurr and i did a bit of exploring around Jervis Bay.
Due to some RTA issues, our outing was somewhat limited but we still managed to waste a bit of fuel and create some carbon
1st off things were a little odd for me, felt like i hadnt mounted my wheels correctly the bike was all over the shop, even on the road it felt strange.
I had just got a new set of tyres, they are definatly not like my old ones. they got stuck in ruts and grooves and pretty much went where they liked.
But never fear, the mud and puddles were still negotiated, i found the best way to deal with my front end issue was to raise it off the ground a little bit.
Russ and i found a bit of a sany track some guys had cut into the bush, we had a bit of a bash around there but soon got the shits with the whoops and Russ kept holding me up. so we went elsewhere.
After a bite to eat at the local bakers Delight we hit some more bush.
Found a nice little open bit of sand/dirt and started doing laps, was great fun, no ruts (we at least when we started) and hard packed at one end where we could practice our drifting skills.
Had a blast round there chasing Russ down and trying a little argey bargey, then taking of into the distance..
Even with my tyre issue managed to keep ahead.
We swapped bike for a few laps, amazing the difference between the 2, mind was lighter to steer but less grip, and Russ' being geared a bit shorter made for lightning quick gearchanges.
Even in "eco" mode with stock pipe his still made the right noises
Had a great day, bike ran well apart form getting a little hot while waiting for Russ to catch up, got rained on pretty hard on the way home, Luckily i was in the Subaru with bike on the trailer
oh yeah here's a write up on the tyres i purchased for a steal...
