I've been looking for a solution in my front yard. In order to get to my back yard I have to drive across what will be a lawn once I’m done. I’ve been thinking these are just the thing. I too have to say 1:1 scale yard toys are also a hobby. It would be pretty rare for a weekend to go past and not spend at least one day in a machine. I purchased a flail mover attachment recently that has been awesome. Next I need to work out a steep slope mowing solution. I've rough cut all the roads in so once we actually get some dry weather I can get the Bobcat up there and smooth it all out.

It's the same rules as Bonnerville Speed Week but run each year at Lake Gairdner in South Australia. You have everything from 50cc postie bikes going 60 MPH to Bonnerville regulars like Valerie Thompson flying out to Australia with her streamliner motorbike doing 300+ MPH. It's a great week for people who are happy camping, being off the grid (no mobile coverage at all) & spending time with like minded motorsports nuts !! The driving is mostly terrifying & over 150 MPH it's like driving on wet grass. The course has a cross wind at the 3-4 mile mark which makes things a bit difficult as you can see in the video below.....I managed to go through a speed detector backwards at 171 MPH in 2018, the good news is there is nothing to hit. My ultimate goal is to squeeze 200 MPH out of the little BMW. It's a stupid plan, taking many years & destined for continued failure but I enjoy the process / planning.....ha ha tomo, tk111, Peter M and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, for anyone coming to northern Tassie, we have "Burt Munro's cafe" at Exeter, 30 mins north of Launceston, which has a great collection of motorbike memorabilia, as well as good coffee!! tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3legs Posted 25June, 2021 Report Share Posted 25June, 2021 I would love to see a MotoGP bike and a F1 car geared for a top speed run to get out there just to see how fast they can really go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR901 Posted 25June, 2021 Report Share Posted 25June, 2021 It's a great event & whether you're on a $100 postie bike or in a million dollar hand built monster people will be welcoming & friendly. In our first year my trailer broke about 5 km from the salt.....we literally had people coming out of the bushes with welders at midnight to help fix it. Most cars / bikes are under 150 MPH so you can participate safely with a modest budget. Some are a little more serious.....video below of a 343 MPH crash on a motorbike !!! 3legs and Costas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed the freedom and challenge of it. I've still got all my gear, and can't bare to chuck it, even though I'd never climb on it now. Taekwondo took over for me a few years back when my young son decided to give it a go. It's been the best father/son thing and we're both black belts now. We travelled to Korea in 2019 to train at a martial arts university (Yongin) outside of Seoul for a few weeks - training against 18yo's who live and breathe this stuff every day was incredible. I competed at the PanPac Masters in 2018 and picked up a few medals, but can't see myself heading there this year unfortunately. Excellent, martial arts trading is something else. Gave up though a few years back with bad knees and hips. My surfing also fell away soon after. Unfortunately chronic injuries have taken control of many aspects of my leisure time.

I've got a grading coming up next month, but am currently struggling with a slipped disc.. spent most of last week on prescription happy beans (Endone & Targin) just to keep up the training..

Must be hereditary, as they send my father off to la la land too. Another fellow thought the hospital was collapsing around him. There is apparently a high rate of intolerance to Endone, some nurses I spoke to said that it was a wonder it is allowed to be prescribed. AtA hospital in Newcastle it’s the drug of choice for weekends. Keeps the patients quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo Posted 21July, 2021 Report Share Posted 21July, 2021 Endone is 5 mg of quick release oxy for immediate pain relief Oxycodine is 5-20 mg of Oxy for modified pain relief (longer lasting relief) As any one who has to take these shit drugs for pain you can not take a dump, While on them, In comes Targin modified release available from 2.5 mg with 1.5 laxative up to 20 oxy and 10 laxative and higher I am pretty sure you can take up 60 mg of Oxy in a 24 hr cycle and just stay sain if you have the pain to keep you stable but it is a close call. Then you move to patches which contain fentanal 75 mg every 72 hrs its really tough to keep your shit together then . luzzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
