Good recovery, but that should have been just about OK, if he got the bow wave going in front of the bike, then ride in the wake of it.

yeh i think he found the shallow bit on the way back...

goin over he was beyond the exhaust,,, was like somethin out of charlie and the choclate factory... I was defo an umpalumpa later :)


next time we go over there I have to take the vid camera,, went down the longest set of steps ever - descendin for a bout 15 - 20 minutes.. was all easy - 2 or 3 steps out of random rocks an mud - certainly put a bounce in my step later!

oh one thing my bike is soundin weird - you know that vibe when u have turned the choke off but the bike not yet warmed up.. ( just at low revs - then power snaps back on )

so maybe my pilot jet is too lean?

( but I was having trouble with the idle speed with a richer pilot - ( think I'm a 38 now - before was a 42 but I dint have a 40..... hmmm maybe I should try get a 40 ?
