That looks like a cool trip did you go up the punaruku track? ( Saddle route)

Think I`ve started a trend ?

This is the second time I have seen a truck on it's side or rolled over, when will people learn not to use the tracks as a racing strip/track and stick to a reasonable limit

One word comes to mind, and I think you all know what it is ........."MUPPET"

Please correct me if Iam wrong but I do think an explanation is needed.

Was a very slow roll, moments inatention, reaching for a drink, then wheel hits rut, steering wheel whipped out of hands, over she goes.

No injuries and minimal damage. A pretty good result in my eyes !

Thats retarded mate, trucks dont just roll on a rut and if the track was gnarly enough to roll a truck he shouldn't of been goin near a drink as he should of been concentrating on the track and controlling his truck

The place we went to is called, "The Farm". It suits motorbikes, 4wds, horses, great place to go. Lots of tracks out there. $20 per truck for the day.

Hey mate,

where exactly is "The Farm"? would be keen to head up there.

Maybe go as a convoy with a few people and get Al's suk dirty.

Hi, this is the location:http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?hl=en&tab=wl If you talk to Al I'm sure he could arrange a trip out there If I went you would be shown how a suzuki should be driven Redline is good! Anyway, some pics and vids of the monday mud session with suzukisport:










































These next couple of pictures were a rather interesting moment...









There was a massive rut in the middle of the track, about a foot deep, caused by motorbikes,
the only way across was to straddle it, but I fell in. Couldn't go back, so I got pulled out fowards.

Veered off onto the grass, dug in and flopped onto its drivers side.

Not really much to it.
