Matty and Andy came over again to deliver some more pools a few weeks back and they got me motivated to put some hand controls on the old backhoe i have sitting out the back. A quick weld of a piece of round bar to the clutch pedal and we were off.

The YZ is going well now, the new bar work has stood up to some descent crashes and the gear changer and charge system are working sweet.

I'll put together another vid soon, been getting some good air off the dunes too, got over 50 foot of air the other week so im pretty stoked, no footage but Matty will back me up haha. Ill try and include some footage of getting on and off the bike and also on and off the backhoe (man thats a high transfer!)

Anyways heres a pic of me clearing the table top we made. Still a bit small but a good start, just gota find somewhere to dig some more dirt from.

Thanks for a great time guys, every time yous come over i do another thing i never though possible!

Looking great man...The bike is easier to ride longer isn't it? The quad beats me to hell. I think it is from having to deal with an X,Y,Z axis x2!

Yeah, I've found the bike uses a whole different muscle group than the quad so they need to build up. At first i couldn't ride very long but Now that im used to it the 2 wheeler is defiantly a lot easier to ride and i can ride out a whole tank without stopping. No need to shift your weight all the time and its much smoother. Can be quite demanding though cause you cant just stop and take a break and its a lot more draining mentally.
