Default NZ missed out on the Des Nations!!

So, Roger goes over to Maryland USA to watch the formidable Motocross of Nations.

He was looking forward to seeing NZ compete against America's best and guess what........Daryl Hurley knocked himself out, and Ben Townley crashed in practice therefore Cody Cooper was unable to compete.

Am Loolah - Cooper comes from Papamoa so get his autograph for my boys!!

Anyone else watch it.............he met loads of kiwi's out there??

Roger went too, last year at Matterley Basin and the year before to Ernee in France.

He rides CRF250 around the UK so as you can imagine he loves it. Thats probably why I got left at home while he went on hols and enjoyed himself.........git

Come to think of it, he goes away alot. Hmmmmm......I wonder where he really goes

SPURS !!!!!!.....that name is not to be mentioned in my house ..

i am an ardent West Ham supporter ...the mighty hammers ..

anyway i ride a KTM 450 and my boy rides a CR85 BW ...purely for fun although i have embarrassed myself at a few races ...usually ending up with me in a heap or in an ambulance ..

I have decided to sell up anyway and buy new over there ...don't tell the missus .....i only just mentioned about the jet ski i want ..
