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

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
