Thanks for a top ride today Al. Pat that downhill was pretty tough $100 to anyone who can ride up it, good group to ride with today, huskys were the most popular bike and Al dont be surprised if Marls slaps you next time she sees you!!

Good on ya Al, great day for all and no easy task for you catering for 25+ riders.Gold stars to David and Marls, good job guys, some of that stuff was challenging enough for some of the experts(Seano). Pity I coped a softy later in the day, to lazy to fix it or buggered or both..
Thanks to the tails Clarky and Peter. ;D

DAM CREEK / RIVER OR WHAT EVER THE HEL IT WAS

Thanks Al Apart from the little mishap had a great day , even enjoyed the very narrow disused 4wd stuff for a change. The run back to the cars in the arvo was gold i love that track. See ya on the next one and yes you will be taking me back to the water crossing.  >:(

Hi Al,
Thanks for another great ride ,special thanks to Nathan for taking us on a few interesting tracks and 1 x bloody steep hill !.
Found out why I was running out of front brakes late in the day, fork seal has blown and was spewing oil all over the disc, will fix this week .

Gary.

Thanks for organising the ride Al - some very enjoyable tracks, especially that last one with the blast up the hill and the culverts/jumps!

Gary & Flipper glad you both had a good day. It was hard to try and make the ride suit everyone, but most punters seemed happy. Hope to see you on the next one, well the next time i run a ride at this level anyway.

I bring some more HTFU pills for everyone next time.

Thanks to Clarky and Peter for tail duties.

To echo the other comments - Thanks Al for arranging and also specifically for taking it down a notch to give some of us the opportunity for a stretch. Great day out and thought I was doing ok until the last two down hills ,,,,,,[I am glad I didnt see the one on Nathan's loop]
Out in one piece - all good - and also thanks to the days tailmen - appreciated! Cheers David

Everyone is thanking Al for the ride, which I too will post up as I had a great day. The ride catered for all of us on the day & thanks to Natahn for taking a few of us on some other tracks as the main crew tackled Als level2 stuff.

The area Al had us in was varied & a whole lot of fun, plenty of time to carve up some awsum hills, decend some easy & not so easy hills as well as a variety of tracks that prove Al knows his stuff.

Plenty of laughs & highlights, some I hope I caught on the Video . If so I will post them up soon.

Even Tool belts left by some riders looking to lighten their loads. LOL Brad

Glad the weather was so good for us all, as I know just by looking at the surfaces we were on the whole level 2 ride would have been quiet a different ball game in the wet!

Anyone who missed this ride did so at great loss to themselves, all you level 2s wanting some fun in this area  again  will have to keep Al on your Xmas card lists. LOL

Great to see all the regulars again, I dont think Zeb will appreciate Steuart being on this ride as his camera came out at some in opertune times. I look forward to seeing the results.

Thanks Al & Nathan top work. Many thanks to Mark for his tailman work in the morning. Special thanks to ? chinchin ?? Honda rider with a spare bolt for my barkbuster. I appreciated having it back in place.

Cheers Pete  ::)

Paul, David and Pete.
Once again thanks for all the good reports on yesterdays ride.
     I am intrested to hear if anyone felt the ride was to easy or hard? (Marl's think of the good bits!!) Splitting the group worked, ok. Was difficult with such a large spread in rider levels, with the ride being aimed at level 2's. Some of the tracks were harder than planned with recent work done on them. How ever the river crossings were kind to us, compaired to what i usually drag the troops through. And as Pete said, the weather was kind as Fumina carries a special sort of slipperyness. Which is only mastered by many tastings!! Would like some suggestions for improvement, if i decide to run another level 2 ride.
Cheers Al

Hi Al

Sounds like it was a great ride.  Are you putting another one on before the tracks turn to mush??

I dont think Zeb will appreciate Steuart being on this ride as his camera came out at some in opertune times. I look forward to seeing the results.

Lefty is a legend , pete you guys should all be thanking me for entertaining him all day thats whyhe left the rest of you all alone ....  Anyway becasue he enjoyed my misfortune so much he is going to offer to come around and help me remove , clean and repack the wheel , stem , swingarm , and suspension bearings then we can move onto cleaning out the case , tank , brake masters and then refilling and bleeding them,  then we can move onto cleaning all the elextric conectoes with contact cleaner then we can put her all back together agin yipppee  .....  Positive is these things were all due to be done anyway but now i have no excuse to avoid them  >:( >:( >:( Dam River  >:( >:( >:(  Hows the Kawa sorth the fuse issue out ?

Post by: AL on March 21, 2011, 08,54:42 AM
Up in the air at the moment if i will be putting on anymore Amtra rides. And am thinking about another level 2 ride, but more likely to go back to my usual ride. It dont get mushy out there, it just gets more fun. Maybe a little slicker, sort like if the amoral factory exploded? Will see after the HCR what i want to do.

Post by: SteveB on March 21, 2011, 09,02:01 AM
Just to add to the thanks, Ill say it again!
What a ripper day that was, especially that run back to the car. (And maybe not so especially that downhill, thanks Nathan!)
Only my second ride with AMTRA, and it was great to see a bit more of how it works, and meet more people.
Hope the river cleared up for the fisherman after it was rudely disturbed my many bikes and one swimming man!

Al my thoughts right or wrong are - If anyone thought it was to easy then they should of went with nathan , if anyone though it was hard thye shold of stayed with you. Hard to get on a ride were you get to have a crack at that much variety in terrain great fro improving the skill set .

Verdict  -  it was great dont change it we as riders have the opportunity to make it as hard or easy as we want talk about spoiled for choice ...  ;D  Thnaks for spoiling us >


Title: Re: FUMANIACS

Yep well said Zeb (spelling could do with some improvement) we forgot to fill in the ride list on the day as we are missing in the report.


Title: Re: FUMANIACS
Post by: AL on March 21, 2011, 09,44:35 AM
Thanks Steve. That hill Nath took you down didnt have the trees a couple of weeks ago. But even then i see some people walk it that ive never seen walk a bike before. Glad you liked the day and found the "Amtra" experience a good one. That was defently the widest skill range ive had in one ride as im use to running with a smaller group and working the group hard for the day.

Zeb.
Your comments are right, and was an eye opener for me and my skill set, (speed not one of them) and what different people find a challedge. Like rivers? Must admit though, the short ride up "Mine Shaft Track" after the day was done was a good unwinder, with the rev limiter found a couple of times. And thanks for picking Pete up on your way out.
See you out there soon hopefully. Al


And sorry for not remembering your name, but 26 people is to many for me? But ihope the bloke who hurt his knee, that Mark took back to his car. I hope you will live and are back on the bike soon? I would usually give you a call, but i cant call if i cant rememeber? "SORRY"
Al

 :) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'(
Hi everyone,
Where do I start this time..I'll try to give you my impression of this new 'RMTL' AMTRA journey, my first ever level 2 ride.
I guess for the one's that know my riding style:-X will probably understand my state of mind leading into going on this ride..especially one of Al's 'Legendry Status' ones  :-\  I did a bit of soul searching and realised and thank you too Freddo for helping me realise, I had to htfu, rfkit, abcd or whatever you want to call it. So with a little bit of encouragement from me mates, I can now say "I've conquered Fumina" and it's now just the beginning... ;D
Al, absolutely brilliant day to test every skill I've learnt and to learn also, what noT so good skills I have and need to practice, practice, practice on. I know Gary, full throttle right hand, left hand control the speed  :o  The terrain in those tall timbers in that Tanjil area is so beautiful and has so much to offer. The hills were magic and the overgrown bits of track were awesome (sometimes  ???) but gave it a crack anyway.  Big thanks  Mark & Pete for offering to go tailman I really did feel for you both & bravo for putting up your hands.  There were just so many more of the team that helped me  out on the day; Zebraman, Gary 2 stroke legend,Nathan Rocket Man, Rossi Boots, Bob the Builder (big thanks to you big time buddy, hope your not too knackered today)and the list just keeps going on...I could mention all of you.. Such a fantastic, good bunch of blokes to ride with that make any girl feel welcome..Any girls out there thinking of joining AMTRA, you just have to do it!
...oh, and just in case your wondering what sort of drama's I experienced on the day
1st Off. Drop poor bike coming around a rocky downward bend to come upon a river torrent crossing and with an audience of all the team sitting and standing on the other side of this biggish river eating popcorn. Well, you can probably guess what happened next..yep, got a lesson in de-watering the Sherco....again.....thanks' team Sherco Pat for showing us all how it's done & for the other chaps that assisted  :P . At least you all got a rest & I had a nice bath.
2nd Moment: Having a race with a 'wasskily wabbit' for about 500 metres down a road...guess what, the wabbit beat me  :'(
3rd, 4th, 5th...etc  moments...Had many fun moments sinking face first into rutty, stinky bog holes...gotta love those >:(, trippi'n over logs, power slides on gravel hills etc etc.. usual stuff..
Final triumphant homeward bound moment...Crossing that last river, with the popcorn crowd on the other side and not dropping or sinking the Titanic again  :D :D :D
So much to say..but you just would have had to have been there for the experience.. The following are a few pics prior to lift off in the morning.. sorry there's no action shots from me, wouldn't have never been able to keep up with the lads to get some shots anyway.
Oh yeh, and Al, you are still on my Xmas Card list...and if you do another ride like that & you're all happy to put up with me..i'll be there  8) ..practicing.... Until the next ride....Cheers, Marls
ps Freddy, thanks for chauffer duties  :-*

Post by: Peter Monty on March 22, 2011, 02,58:10 AM
AL, the day worked a treat really. I know I was happy to blast the morning sections while Mark did tail. I didnt see any real problems with track grading at all. When we seperated groups Nathans group had some great riding & a little bit of a chance to hit up some extra stuff if we wanted to. Which suited everyone really. Then the regroup allowed those who had limited experience on tighter stuff to progress. I know Marls had some fun on this stuff. ( Not having a go at all here) just meaning it was a new experience which was her aim to step up to some grade 2 stuff. But the real positive was that Marls & everyone finished the day with a smile. So in summary I guess the morning was easy grade 1, the arvo in parts grade 2 to 2& a bit. My opion only NOTE. I think the reality being that if people thought the arvo was getting a little harder it was because of fatigue rather than the type of tracks. Hope this helps Al. Cheers Pete. Oh & Yes my fuse is fixed. LOL

Thanks Al you 'pushy bugger' ;D Pete's right when he says that all the tracks that you took our group on, were perfect level 1/2 stuff and boy how true that your energy does get sapped if you have to walk a few hills and pick up the bike a few times  :o Plan to improve in that area too

Thanks Pete and Marl's for the input. I was stressed at the start of the day that i may have lost my touch on what a level 2 ride should be. And as nasty as it is to say watching some of the stuff peolpe struggled on, made me realise that my own ride level is probly higher than i thought. As i spend most of my riding time with my peeres, whom do stuff i wish i could manage on a bike. Hence all the question about the level, as i do get a buz from helping and watching the fist pumps from people when they push and get the challedge done!
Thanks to you and everyone for the input Al

And as nasty as it is to say watching some of the stuff peolpe struggled on, made me realise that my own ride level is probly higher than i thought. As i spend most of my riding time with my peeres, whom do stuff i wish i could manage on a bike. Hence all the question about the level, as i do get a buz from helping and watching the fist pumps from people when they push and get the challedge done!
Thanks to you and everyone for the input Al
careful Al, you know you will start that same "discusion" again.

Just waiting for the dust to settle brother, I, as usual, had a great day. Still pi55in myself about Zeb. Your rides are awesome and your track knowledge is famous. I love the level 2's with a bit of clubman thrown in. The extra 30ks late in the afternoon topped things off. Yes Brad, I have some great photos and will post them when I get the camera back from Sean. Sorry Marls, there is a great one of you hitting the drink ! And Zeb, my friend, look out !!!

Cheers,

Lefty.

Glad you had a good ride Chinky. At least sticking with me i got to show you one of my special bridges? And thats one of the good ones from my usual loop? When i get around to doing another level 2 ride, i find you some more or maybe even alot more hills to play on. See you at the HCR, Al

..Any girls out there thinking of joining AMTRA, you just have to do it!

"THE END"

 Been thinking of joinging AMTRA for a while now.  Looks like I had better pull my finger out and do it ~!!~

 Wel done Marls on this ride - don't worry about dropping your bike in the creek, at least you gave it a go mate!  I remember when a few of us chix got you to ride your bike though the river up on the high country - I remember you coming through the other end with a big smile on your face :)

 Yazza.

P.S - how many female RIDING members are there in AMTRA ?

Are you going to go on Zeb's/Al's Farewell Chinky Fumina Ride on 7th May?...Good fun riding there; reckon you would like it & it's not too far to drive  ;D  Maybe a few more of the chix should go & give AMTRA a try?
