Sutton rd which is Fairburn track is a bitch cos you have to be a member.

I rode the brindies for about 15 years without any legal trouble.

Larbert rd near braidwood is good if you like sand. $10 or $15 to ride last time i was there.

Captains flat has a track, theres one near Yass, and Kowen forest is pretty big(rego only, cops)

But the best is the Brindabellas.

Uriarra rd has few good spots to park, like Blue range hut or Blundells flat(my fav)

Or on the Cotter rd theres Peirces creek or Murrays corner

The forest goes from the cotter to tumut, its big and has lots of awesome mountains.

Get a map and the only limit is your fuel range.

Have fun, stay safe. Dont ride alone in the bush.

Ps i sold my bike if you want my maps n stuff give us a pm

The shitbox bike can be the best fun you ever had.

I had as much or more fun in 2 years of shitboxing as i did in 12 years of supreme KTM.

Get one for sure!

Gloves and kneepads too, ha ha i remember the first time...but its so much fun you cant stop.

:banana:

I still have nice armour and gloves, a work stand, those cool stick-on goggles with heaps of lenses, boots, tie downs, etc....

If you need it i dont use them anymore, good stuff ill sell real cheap.

Ps new age 4strokes are VERY expensive to maintain. get a two banger or a normal 4stroke.

Was about to say the same thing re- 4 strokes,

The WR's are pretty good but anything more than a couple of years old = rebuild time

But in saying that most of the 4 stricken enduro's are pretty good

The mx'ers are rubbish, the current crf250 has a 10hr rebuild time on the top end and 25hr for piston and rings

My brother has a 2010 yz250 2 stoke, he rides the shit out of it and has replaced the spark plug and a brake lever or 2

My dad scored one of the super rare 09 yz250wr road legal mx'er and has had no problems either

But if you do want cheap my brother is selling an 88 klr250 for 200 bucks, but needs some work

The only reason why I'm not interested in a new 2-stroke is that they're not registrable (someone confirm this).

I wouldn't ride an ancient POS hahaha. Had a '93 or thereabouts KDX250 few years back that I would ride around the back of Conder/Banks, that was about the limit of 'shitness' I would deal with.

Wouldn't mind my cousin's KTM 525EXC I rode some years ago, that thing was f**king insane!

Plenty of new 2 strokes than can be registered

Just no Japanese bikes, so you will need to look to the land of euro

KTM, TM, Husaberg, GASGAS etc all do 2 stroke enduros, and if you want spastic power most of them do a 300 2stroke too lol

Yeah euro 2 strokes are really good.

I had a KTM 360 for ages, that thing could pull your arms off up to 120kph,

more grunt than i could use with my light weight (70kg) and rear tyres were used up in about 400ks

The big two strokes sound awesome with a pipe. Top handling and ergonomics too.

Yeah I love oilers!

Found a place to go, binacrombie which is an hour north of g-town, will take the gf's parents kombi which has a tow bar and make a weekend of it including trout fishing etc

Their single track looks the goods but simple enough that the DR will handle it but will chuck the knobbies on before I go

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
