Nowhere To Ride

There's hardly anywhere to ride legally in NSW.

Land developers, policy exclusion, clowns and noise has resulted in closure of nearly all available areas.

Now there are Environmental problems as riders push into areas they would not have used previously.

Erosion from new track creation, grooving of water diversion banks (roll-overs), creek bank destruction and spreading of weeds and diseases from unwashed machines are all problems now.

On Charge and Protection

All of the technology-based communication systems require power. Most have their own batteries, and most of these will last at least through the daylight hours. A 12-volt outlet plug on a bike is easy to rig, enabling recharging in the bush, and most bike batteries can recharge a couple of phone and radio batteries overnight without affecting starting power.

There are plenty of small cases designed to keep phones and radios dry and dust-free. Hard cases will give good crash protection but are heavy and bulky; soft clear cases work best.
