WEEKEND CHORES CAN BE FUN,
YOU JUST NEED TO GET CREATIVE
Jimmy Purcell The winner of the 2016 ‘fastest way to
destroy a saw blade’ contest
Paul Turner Upgrade for the bike?
Will Whiteman My kind of wood chopping.
FIND MY RIDE
I’m 12 and 150cm and was
wondering if there are any enduro
or trailbikes out there to suit my
age and height? Would a four-
stroke motocross bike work for
trailriding in the bush?
Could you possibly do a junior
bike shootout, as there are none
I can find. That would help so
much. Also can you please bring
back the comic section that you
had on the last page of the mag,
it was great.
Your magazine is great and the
only one I read. Keep it up. Sorry
for so many questions.
Tom Sharpe
Thanks Tom, no need to apologise,
that’s what we’re here for! You’re
definitely better off with a trailbike
but it’s hard to say without knowing
your ability and size. If you’re a
small bloke I’d suggest the Suzuki
DR-Z125, Yamaha TT-R125 or even
the Honda CRF150F. But if you’re a
more accomplished rider looking for a
bike with more power then I suggest
looking at the TT-R230 or CRF230F.
BRILLIANT PRICEY
What an achievement, what a
champion. I don’t know Toby
Price but he seems to be a
humble, genuine and level-
headed young man who has
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO
TOBY PRICE, WINNER OF THE 2016
DAKAR RALLY!!
Pricey will go down in history as the fi rst Australian to
win the rally, doing so at only his second attempt!
Well done, mate, all of Australia is proud of you!
Matthew Johnson Just
loved watching the
race unfold, such a
smart ride from a true
champion. Well done
Toby Price, you’re the
best in the world!
Warren Jack Toby for
Australian of the Year!
Heath Bull Awesome
achievement. Was
merely a formality
after last year.
overcome his fair share of adversity
to get to where he is today.
I’ve been telling friends who
don’t ride dirtbikes about Pricey
and, to give them some perspective,
tell them what he has achieved is
on par with Cadel Evans winning
the Tour de France. I just hope
that the wider community and
media end up appreciating what
he has achieved. For now, this mug
52-year-old trailrider and, I’m sure,
every other dirtbike rider out there
tips their helmets to you, Toby.
Ian Crawford
Toby’s been a good friend of ADB’since
he burst onto the enduro scene in 2009,
and has always been an outstanding,
level-headed person. Check out our
exclusive post-Dakar interview on p90.
Chance of a knighthood ya reckon?
WILD IN THE WEST
Thought I would share a couple
of pics of two of my boys and I on
a recent trip to West Moto Park
in Wyalkatchem, WA which you
featured in ADB #437. We’ve made
a couple of weekend trips there and
have had an awesome time.
Daniel is fi ve and on the Polaris
Outlaw 90, Josh is seven and on
the KTM 50SX. The old man is me
on the WR450F. The boys would be
rapt to see themselves in the mag.
