dusty saw her rusty at stanley funduro

[Dusty Rusty]

Thank you for the tip cloudgazer!  As soon as i am on both my feet and not hopping my way around i will tackle the lift

 

[laurika]

Wow.
Quite an experience.
Yup, stick with the dogs - they look after the pack.

......now all i have to learn is to put my lady on the centrestand....but hey....small steps....brave one!!! :thumleft:

I recently fitted a centre stand, and couldn't get my bike up onto it, until I got this bit of advice.

Stand on left of bike facing forward.
Hold the left handlebar grip with your left hand, and the pillion grip or somewhere on the side of the bike near the pillion footpeg with your right hand.  For the right hand, lower is better.
Now put your right foot on the centrestand foot lever thingy and push the stand down till you can feel that both feet of the stand are on the ground.
Push down with your right foot while pulling up with your right hand, in one fluid motion.  If you can engineer it so that your right hand is low enough that you don't need to use your arm to lift - only your body as you straighten your leg, so much the better.

Pulling up - thats the trick, lifting your bike, and not trying to pull it backwards onto the stand is the trick. Works wonders.

i am going to try that again....before my bike gets fixed up on wednesday..... :mwink:

Dean, when i hear mx my ankel sommer start paining more!  WHo know ... die ouens van bellville, mag dalk eendag by jou uitslaan 

 

[Dusty Rusty]

Jip, luckily I had my Foxies on!

Jammer om te hoor. Maar dis goed dat jy daai boots dra. My safetys gee nie crush protection nie.

Ons trippie was beter ne!

Jy kon maar gese het, ons ouens kon jou Vrydag gewys het hoe om jou bike op te tel. Maar ek moet saamstem met die ander ouens. n Bike kursus is n moet.

Ons moet uitkyk vir een, want Lizelle moet ook nog gaan. :ricky:

Ons trippie het gerock!

Get hold of the guys at CountryTrax. I'm sure if you've got a few committed people looking to do a course they might be able to throw something together for you, else just slot in with some of their existing course dates. Definitely a worthy experience!

 

[EtienneNXR]

Wes, all that I need is the neck thing.  We chatted about you the weekend ne?  They say you are fearless on your bike.     

I'd like to meet this version

Dusty, MX tracks will help your DS riding allot.Ask the guys who ride and ride well.You do not have to do 10m jumps but just time on the bike leaning into corners and trying out good riding techniques will improve your DS riding.
The Enduro track is great for fitness and something diffrent to going round and round.
It is really a great training aid as you learn more in a day at a track then 6 days in the saddle riding down a dirt road.
So give it a try sometime and see the improvements in your riding.

Okey Dean what about this idea:  eepwall:  i organize a puppy and girlie day with a braai after  all the excitment BUT  .... YOU mr Dean, must babysit and instruct us for the day!  You game?  :3some: :wav:

 

[Dusty Rusty]

Dean, I know oneor two girls with KLR's.  Sal daai bikes nie te groot wees vir die track nie?

 

[Kenisis]

Hey Dusty!

Well Done for Trying!

Now that you have seen the worst ( Almost the worst) that is out there. The rest will be easy and one day when you go back you will have the neccessary skill sets to show the Plastic bikes off!!

Cheers
