    Training a dog for trails

    Funny thing about eating thongs, they smell like you so its a bonding moment. Yes it relates to no more thongs but they generally eat shoes & thongs cause they smell like their owners & their toys don't. Fill a Kong toy with peanut butter & it will keep him preoccupied for awhile, I had to...

    somebody buy this ideal shuttle rig.

    I can add nothing constructive here, but laughed that we towed one of these out of the Pentecost river. The bloke driving it sheepishly asked for help won't lie he copped a lot of shit from us about his "ultimate off road vehicle" Toyota Troop Carrier to the rescue lol

    Knolly Grassroots Racing Aus/NZ

    Looks like a pretty cool opportunity, good to see companies like Knolly reaching out for more than just talent but looking for brand positive people. Wish I was younger & had more free time to get out & race, cause I'd be on this like a fat kid on cake.

    Bell Super 2R with a neck brace

    Only planning to use it on more DH/free ride trails to be honest. I'm headed to green valley at the end of the month & taking my DH bike & Sam, taking the brace for the more burly looking trails there.

    Bell Super 2R with a neck brace

    So the MET fits with a EVS RC brace, this is my "until i have a spare $400 for a leatt" brace https://www.mountainbikesdirect.com.au/evs-rc-evolution-neck-brace The EVS brace is bulky in comparison to the leatt braces, its a little restrictive but not a bad as I thought. With a lower...

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    This couldn't be more true, & that only got worse on the m50/52 engines their alloy heads warp with the slightest overheating

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    Even if it is a head gasket, to change on on the m30b35 isn't too hard of a job. If you have some mechanical finesse you can have the old one out & new one in <5hrs(with beer breaks). Unfortunately it is more likely to be a head gasket over a sensor the m20 & m30's a well know for popping them...

    What car do you drive?

    Couldn't have put it any better than that. my 1990 bmw e30 clocked up 200,000km with me & had 1 major issue(was my fault too) that major issue was a gearbox which set me back all of $600 to replace, I performed all the services including the timing beltx2 at home on the driveway. That said...

    Bell Super 2R with a neck brace

    Hope you bounce back from it soon mate I'll be able to tell you in the next few weeks if the Met works with a brace, as I'm looking to get a brace before I head out to Green Valley at the end of the month. While the Met isn't a proper full face in respect to say a TLD evo I have used mine out...

    What car do you drive?

    From the op's initial choices the hilux is the only decent car on the list, but that's a preference. Anyway currently I have a 2012 S-Edition Forester, loaded up with 2 bike, a boot full of gear, & 2 mates trekked down to Bright, Mt Beauty, & Falls Creek in absolute comfort. Managed with a...

    Poor finacial decision mean I'm building a Focus Sam

    no bottle mount spots integrated on the frame, with the shock position you'd only be able to hang one under the downtube. I've always ridden with a camel pack so never though about bottles

    Poor finacial decision mean I'm building a Focus Sam

    I think you could almost get away with a large, I think I'm on the entry side to the large frame to the stage. The reach between them isn't too different Sam geo http://www.focus-bikes.com/au/en/bikes/2015/e-bike/focus-sam-1/focus-sam-30-factory.html#chapter-3

    Poor finacial decision mean I'm building a Focus Sam

    Hey mate, I'm just on 6ft the large fits me perfectly(almost mirrors my previous large sight). Climbs great though I wish I had my dropper post already but they is just a minor inconvenience, even with the minion SS on the rear it is happy to climb with the shock & fork on the trail...

    One for the Mechanics - question.

    sorry to hear about your daughter mate, I would be changing the fluids as a precautionary, I also agree with an external oil cooler most auto's in aus suffer from heat soak in our climate. A decent oil cooler can be had cheap, & installed by a mechanic for under $400(cooler included) in the...
