Outstanding ::012::

As an Aussie living in the US for most of my life, I gotta say that has such a good Aussie slant it makes me homesick. It is however universal I think for all of us that ride.

Goosbumps ::003::

I started riding trials in the 70's and found it not only to be fun, a great sport and a way to connect to others around the world, but also as a great basis for any riding. My road racing was better for it and my adventure riding has benefited. I find my Tenere to be like a big (very big) trials bike. Easy on the throttle, lots of torque and good body position and it will go most anywhere . Now I am going to go watch that video again ::017::

Oh Hell he's only 50!!
I was expecting to see a walker or training wheels on a Hodaka and some 70 year old guy with six pack abs or some BS like that.. >:D
Anyone can do Wheelies, it's just balancing the bike on the rear wheel with out doing a back flip that's the hard part.. :-[

I'm glad I'm not 50 yet...though I have been feeling guilty about not riding the bike lately...I've been driving my new to me truck, and enjoying the AC!

I could wheelie my old XL for half a block, loads of fun. (damn near #300 lighter ::26:: ) Haven't even been able to loft the front end on the XT. I know it can be done, though I haven't seen it done personally. I'll have to ask Jeff, he says his XT will do it. His is flashed though. :mad:

This takes me back to when dirt riding was most of my riding. A lot of funny, Australian tongue-in-cheek humor poking fun at street bike riders. Enjoyed the "disclaimers" too. Thanks for posting it.
