Love the driving/riding suit just not sure about the feel you would get in those boots but that's about all I could see needs some work...

There were a few good bikes there on Saturday, it was the third CanberraRiders Dirty Day at Larbert Rd near Braidwood. Gos's converted 750 is deceptively fun in the dirt, his YZ500 is scary-fun (especially when you crack the throttle open a touch too far and end up on your arse ), another guy Charlie has a KTM 520 that is just awesome to ride (seriously.....awesome!), Mel had her recently acquired TTR and my KLR managed to hold its own pretty well too
There are a couple of other videos from the day by the guy who did the one I posted above if you want to go exploring.
....and Cath, there's nothing stopping you coming down for the next day in the dirt....just allow a day or so to recover, it's hard work getting dirty

Captain Feathersword ?? thanks Marz......
Yes, 2 short blasts in the Bugginator, and that was it for the day.... But a lot of fun anyway....
Needs some more work on the gear-change mechanism, and a better battery......and not much else really.....
Heaps of fun to drive, it goes like a dog shot up the arse, and I can't wait for the next time out there at Larbert Rd....
cheers
