gareth put up a late call for a ride so myself, husq mike, tui, and dillon(#56 hall of fame) arranged to meet at pinjar.i decided to take my trusty old 78 xt500 out for a blast from the past but had forgotton just how bad the suspension is on it and although the engine still runs like a swiss watch, it vibrates so hard it blurs your vision.anyway a plan was hatched and we headed off with mike leading down through the mud patch along the fenceline and onto the mac track.some nice firm bush tracks in this area and then on to a gravel track where a roo came out and missed my front wheel by millimeters.i slowed down even more after that.eventually we picked up micks "track" from yesterday.having done it before i did warn the boys to idle through in 1st gear. i went 1st and cleard the low branch easily on the xt.i turned around to see gareth duck under the leaves before the branch then put his head up and straight into the hidden branch witch put him flat on his back while his bike kept going.a cut on the nose and bleeding lips earns him spill of the day.a little later gareth was doing his best to roost tui with mud, but karma came quickly when gareth went down again just seconds later.then it was back to the pines where the trails are quite good this time of year,and back to the cars where tui ran out of fuel about one km short. all up about 100 kms and a great way to spend a day.thanks guys.
