Hi all, Was wondering if anyone has been to Reunion to ride, and if they have any recommended hire companies or know a mob offering tours? I've one day only to play with so I'm thinking a tour might be the way to go, with the emphasis on going downwards preferable. Found the below...

Is this happening this coming thursday the 16th? and when are things closing up/re starting for the Christmas period? Keen to come down, just don't want to rock up when no one else is there :p

+1, it would be nice to see.

Your private messages are full Sorry mate, just letting you know your inbox is full, I'm pretty interested, just can't get through. Cheers, Callum

Just saw this article, figured I'd share, quite nice looking frames really. http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/2/hi/africa/8125274.stm

Post 1996 DR 650SE's are tops, looking at getting hold of one myself, bit heavy for singletrack work, but if you don't mind working a bit harder, they'll still go anywhere. Dunlop 606's or Pirelli MT21's are good half and halfers tyre wise, you can expect 8k out of a set if your happy to wear...

Ride in a less squid like fashion and ride more to more places. I'm doing ok on the latter, still in a squid like manner however.

Depends how far away you want to be from the city/work as well as how much you want to be paying rent wise. I migrated with my family from the UK 5 years ago and we hit upon the ferntree gully area, which is around 45km from the centre. There's good riding nearby in the form of lysterfield lake...

Ouch. That's why I suffer like mad on hot days in a leather jacket. I had a real deep graze from a motorbike stack a few years back (was wearing head to toe kevlar, didn't help; the bike pants just ripped), went to the doctors and got given some gooey stuff called Bactroban cream (Mupirocin) to...

A motorcycle forum I use has something like this called faceplant, people post up a discription of their stack, what protective gear they were using and if it worked, and then what injuries they copped, its pretty good. Especially in regards to encoraging people to use the right gear.

Shadow's good for black/grey animals, or how about Canary - cos if you ever put him down a mine shaft he probably wouldn't come out alive?

True, its a lot of fun wildly leaping to conclusions however :p

How about Cyclesquirrel.com.au? Or *Contorts painfully through an agony of creation* Chainskip.net, prehap's even thelittlereboundadjusteronthebottomofsomeforkswiththeredanodisingthatdoesntseemtodomuchbutclicksalotandoccasionallyfallsoffjustlikethatbutontheinternet.com It'll have...

The Web filtering page has gone now, slightly concerned farkin may have gone all responsible and grown up in all the april fools chaos whilst our guards were down :eek:

I knew a moment of purest panic until I noticed the date. "The Australian Government; thinking of the children." Gold :p
