Unfortunately they do not seem to be on a track unless it is very overgrown. AMTRA can not have photos or video of riding off track on its web site. Please confirm they are on a track or remove the photos. thanks, Ian Title: Re: Narbethong Ride 16/5/10 Post by: Willbar on May 19, 2010, 10,22:56 PM As I said a Pigmy rainforest

Not one of you can say you have not riden a narrow 4wd track . Let them stay at least it is a contribution to the site or move to the members area if you must. It seems you can't put anything on here with out scrutiny... Loved the CPR video though.
p.s. not having a go just an opinion. Title: Re: Narbethong Ride 16/5/10 Post by: Ian Robinson on May 20, 2010, 09,30:14 AM This is getting a bit much, who the hell knows where these photos are from!

AMTRA can not be seen to promote illegal riding (if that is what is happening in some of the photos) Ian Title: Re: Narbethong Ride 16/5/10 Post by: Wade E on May 20, 2010, 09,37:07 AM Wade, were the photos you have loaded all on a "proper" track.

Wade Title: Re: Narbethong Ride 16/5/10 Post by: Wade E on May 23, 2010, 06,23:40 AM Hi all a brief note about this ride and to say how much I enjoyed riding with these 17 guys. As you can see every had a great day from the previous posts and pics, with no serious injuries or mechical break downs over the 85km. Though the conditions were very slippery all 17 of you made it through the worst/best of it so the day ran very smoothly for me. A big thank you to Mat and Rossi, both of you did a great as tailmen, and thanks Al and Mark helping out other riders who needed it, and to Mat again for kick starting an obstinate KTM450!:)
I will run this ride again in August would be great if you all could join me then.
