This isn't a moan, or a criticism - it's genuine curiosity. I joined the TRF primarily to find and hook up with people to go riding, maybe meet some new friends. Now in my second year of membership, my only riding interaction with anyone from the Devon membership was to be sternly lectured about the dan...
Looking for the stick on reading lenses for goggles, the type that fits in the lower part of the goggle outer lense ? currently reading my gps with difficulty !!
On the way to work this morning to find road blocked from fly tipping at the bottom of Grm 5513 (201-097) Certainly wouldn't try ridding it as road has been cleared but lane totally blocked. Presume police where called so should get cleared. Facebook pic attached.

The Government is consulting on regulating vehicle emissions control systems (ECS) for vehicles registered after Jan 1st 2001 and this link < here > provides details on their intentions. It's a long read but there may be implications that affect our bikes and cars. In a nutshell it seems th...
hello After some time off Im looking at getting back into laning, with the prime months coming up. Budget is around £2,500 to £4000. Would much rather buy a bike from a member over eBay/ Facebook etc. Thanks, Mark
Just wondering if anyone on here has done the ACT (adventure country tracks) UK route? Ive got a week off in September and thinking of giving it a go on my Transalp. Im curious has to how you rated the difficulty, especially if you did it on an adventure/bigger bike. I will probably leave out the IoM sect...
This run had been in the planning for many weeks, possibly months come to think of it, but we never seemed to get a mutually agreeable date when all keen participants were available. Russ finally got his Beta back together after some suspension upgrades and fitting a larger fuel tank which he'd purch...
Does anyone have a 250cc+ two stroke engine/bike going for cheap. Ideally something absolutely buggered with a half OK engine. Want to do an engine swap into something hilarious like a Dax or a Grom etc (Sounds like my lad has too much time on his hands) Anything anyone?
Hi Just in case there is one out there somewhere, looking for an XR250 Barrel as the one I have is overbored (badly) with not enough wall thickness to allow me to rebuild with any confidence. Thanks Matt
I had some spare time today and nipped out to burrator to check out the locked gate across 202 038. I spoke at length with a ranger there. Apparently the gate has been installed by South west water. Illicit campers have been using the lane and using the leat to wash and defecate in. Its a drinking water sup...

Highways have been attending 201/035. There was a steep drop over a pipe when entering 201035 from the top. It was exciting riding but has now been replaced with a concrete slope. Makes it more manageable for the less experienced.
DEVON TRF FUN DAY 5th JULY Our annual Devon TRF Fun Day is nearly here! This event is exactly what it says on the tin a day of riding, socialising, and having fun with fellow TRF members on private land. Using a private farm, well be setting out an Enduro-style route with varying levels of difficu...
Asking for a friend who is returning to the lanes. He previously rode a 530EXC and is now looking for a tidy, genuine, 450 or 500. Max budget £4500. What have you?
Got thrown off into a bank, but it had a rally hard corner to it. Winded, and very painful, managed to get the bike up and ride it home. Five days later at A and E, four broken ribs! I never thought green laning was this dangerous! I need some hard core body armour!
A few weeks later, another rear puncture. Its a heavy bike, 160 kgs, on 110 by 18 on the rear. I tun about 20 psi, deforms a bit when I sit on it, and have had a second puncture in a matter of weeks. Its got spooked wheels by the way, so the question is this: Do I need a wider tyre? Ie, heavy bike needs more v...
