>>2112508>i cant control a motorcycleJust get a dirt bike and take it out mate.
I can barely touch the ground on a YZ250F, so I’ve learned not to stop ha ha
We have heaps of organised trail rides here, it’s pretty awesome.
It’s not like a tour group or anything- guys put trails out on farms, you rock up with your mates, and thrash the shit out of it.
Pretty safe because everyone is travelling in the same direction.
Main hazard is hitting trees or boulders at speed. There was actually a 14 or 15yo killed last year, hit a tree with his head at speed, pretty unfortunate but not common- maybe 1 every 5 years. There’s also an event called the brass monkey, held each winter where NZ’s coldest temperature was recorded. There’s usually a couple of people die to/from that, but is expected with a couple of thousand people travelling there on motorbikes from all around. Cops give you a free pass on licenses and mx bikes, pretty sweet. Actually went wit a cop last time. Anyway, highly recommend. I’m just rambling now ha ha
