cactusjack Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Just a quick intro, I am from Australia, and rode trials as a kid. My dad rode trials growing up in England, and introduced me to it in Aus when I was 10. I stopped at 15 and 20 years later I am back, having just bought a 2008 Scorpa SY250R for myself. Have already found some useful info on here and look forward to keeping an eye on what happens in the countries where trials riding actually exists!! Cactus Jack.

jon v8 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 He is fine,just spoken to him.The fire didnt get too close,but his house stinks of smoke and it was all a bit scary from what he said.Luckily the trees which were overhanging the house,(He only recently bought the place) have all been felled.I understand one bloke has died and four people are still missing.You can only feel sorry for them,their families and the owners of the 46 odd houses that have gone this time.I know bush fires are common in parts of Australia,but having seen the damage it does I find it hard to comprehend.I'm also very much in awe of the resilience of people caught up in it. Nature still has the upper hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
