The good old days.

As mentioned earlier I used to ride my DT1 Yam down the beach from work in Sth Melb to Frankston. It was grouse riding along watching the sun setting. Eventually there were 10 of us in the Monarchs touring club with dirt bikes so when there was'nt a road ride on we hit the dirt. There were a few trailers around but mainly for the road racing bikes so most of us just rode the dirt bikes to and from. One of our favourite rides was to Arthurs Seat on the Mornington Peninsula. It usually started with some road racing up Olivers hill and along the beach road. Down near Arthurs Seat it was onto the beach for some sand racing and when we had had enough of that it was back to thr road racing up and down Arthurs Seat. When those trail tyres got warm they had really good grip but the drum brakes were a bit scarey coming down. When we got sick of that we had a go at trail riding up and down under the chair lift. With the look out cafe at the top for food and a servo not far away at the bottom it was an all day flogging for those bikes, we loved it.
