Being that there's a few blokes on here that are on the more mature side of life, and having spent many hours on the bike. I'm thinking they must have some fantastic stories they could be telling us.
Young blokes as well

What's been your most memerible moment on a dirt bike? What has been your highlight?

It could be one ride in particular, one season. One race. An adventure ride. The day you got that new bike, The time you got to meet and ride with a ledgend of the sport  etc, etc, etc.

Which memory will you take to your grave?

I remember you telling me that on the Rawson ride Wiggy, that would have been an eye full :) things like that never happens to me :)
oh hang on, it wasn't a nudist camp, I had to build a house frame in Whittlesea many years ago, no power on the builders pole, it was arranged to get the power from the house next door, after knocking on the door the lady of the house answered the door, I better not say anymore other then it made my eyes pop :)
Don't mess with old bikers, they don't just look crazy. :)

My first motor bike ride at the age 13, 58 years later I'm still riding.

There have been a few, from dislocating my shoulder on HTFU-2 ride, to tearing my ACL on Menaces birthday ride, but every Avon Wilderness ride I have done always puts a grin on my face for days, but the summer when Gary C and I rode Billy Goats in middle of summer

Apologies to those that I've bored with this story before...
But it was a memorable ride...!
The hut isn't there anymore, but it was a welcome sight when we arrived there on foot at midnight.  The photo was taken on our next ride up that way, after the snow had melted ....
Cheers, Simon J.
PS Contrary to what the newspaper article said, we would have made it for sure!

Oh Simon!

Deary, deary me.  So you're the reason trailbike riders have a bad name!

And on a Bultaco to boot!

Serge, no mobile phones and epirbs in those days!  We were very inexperienced, heading off into the wilderness without a second thought... That bike, a Frontera 370, was great,  never let me down. I was on a different bike when we got lost, a Yamaha TT500E. Nothing's changed - bloody 4-strokes!!
