Mark rang me on Wednesday night and said "You up for a ride tomorrow morning?" I said, "sure, I'll take the morning off". He turned up at 10:00am and we got back at 4:30pm! So much for the morning off.... Well worth it though.

Anyway, he got onto Google maps to try and find some back roads we had never been down before and explore. The plan was awesome. After 30 minutes of riding we discovered that Google maps must get their road information from old War Time survailance maps as the dirt tracks got smaller and smaller until we were in rutted puddle ridden goat tracks with cows all around. Now although we managed to have this happen about 3 times we did manage to discover some awesome roads and probably only saw one car all day (but many cows)! If you get chance I recommend getting off the beaten track and just exploring shit. Your dirt track skills will be well improved afterwards as well (although I hear Fimps are pretty good already).

Did you stop when you got to the gate ? or carry on up ?
Great area to camp, good back roads to clown about on between there and Beaudesert.

In the distance in the 2nd photo there are supposed to be some caves,
but i've never found them.

Random exploring road trips are the best fun.

Went out on some "uncharted" backroads on friday. with my mate on his new bike.

Iv been meaning to find some interesting squiggly lines on google maps.

GPS is fucked, some roads they tell you to go down, are 100m to your LEFT in a freakin paddock/jungle.

wicked fotos too mate.

Well, we decided to do it again today without getting so lost, so we brought Mark (Learnatic) with us as well.

I should also mention that Mark (Learnatic) works nights and had come straight from a 10 hour shift out for a ride with us. The mind gets mighty tired after working that long. These few photos were taken at 12:20. Look closely at what Mark (L) is doing with a pair of grey shorts with a week old phone wrapped up inside them:

What lies ahead....

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/28202464888405.jpg


This is the moment (about 20 - 30km from the last photos) where Mark realises that he has left the back pocket of his bag open, yea, you guessed it, the one with the shorts and the new phone in. They've blown out .... somewhere..

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/282024648242340.jpg


Believe it or not we headed back over our tracks and we found the shorts with the phone still wrapped up and un-runover after a $1.40 get off. Not bad hey? And a testiment to weekday riding in the sticks - no bloody traffic!

With that bit of fun out the way we headed up to the Lions Road again and back round the same route as last time. A good 6 hour jaunt. How Mark(L) managed that after a full 10 hours night shift I have no idea. He's made of some special stuff. I'd be fucked!

Nice country! A lot of the dirtbike footage on those clips i posted a while ago was during the day before and after 12.5 shifts. We used to knock off at 630am and head straight out the bush from work, ride till lunch, go home for a few hours kip then back to work at 6pm. Same story though, because we did it in the middle of the week there were no other dirtbikes to collide with and no rangers to chase us. Bloody marvelous and worth feeling tired for..

Hahaa. I left mt glasses on my seat after leaving a mates house, popped a wheelie then thought fuck my glasses! had to ride in the dark on the wrong side of the road squinting swearing, wearing them now.

Glad stupid shit happens to other people as well.
