This superb video is well worth watching as it follows the first two electric trials bikes to enter the 2022 SSDT. The inevitable question is answered in the film but range was no more an issue for them than for all the petrol bikes as the batteries were swapped (a sub two minute job) at the fuel stops. Vid...

It was an early start for me on Christmas Eve (up at 6:30, left home by 7am) as I commuted up a dark and drizzly A38 from Plympton to Ivybridge to meet Russ (Beta X-Trainer) and load my bike into the back of his van. We collected Nick (WR250) enroute at Totnes then headed to our destination which was Bishops...
Greetings folks, I know it's something of a long shot, but I'm looking for some pre 2008 tank shroud plastics for a CRF230. Seems Honda changed the fuel tank in 2008, and plastics for the earlier models are hard to come by. TIA, Tim -- Edited by Tim on Thursday 28th of December 2023 05:43:07 PM
The trail riding community lost one of its long standing and proactive members today. James Higgs or Jimmy Kawasaki as you may have known him, passed away after a short illness. I didn't know him personally but his name often cropped up whenever you read something to do with trail riding. He was still...
With Christmas soon approaching and the weather forecast set to be cloudy, not icy or wet, noso I figured a ride was in order, Matt had fitted some new shoes on his KTM690 so was keen to test them, Stephen originally said no but his circumstances changed and decided to join us. Thought Russell would join...
Having sold my TTR, I now maintain the www.ttr250.com domain as a public service for other TTR250 owners. It is relatively expensive but the money I get for using Adsense makes the cost a bit less painful. I thought I has completed Adsense's own CMP and added it to my website but can't see it. Anyone know...

HI all, I've done a search here about Hambeer Lane. I thought from DCC map, and TRF map, that we could ride it from Little John's Cross, down to the dog leg and into the valley. But a really old thread said that you can't, and have to start at the bottom of the dog leg. But are you then able to come out of the top...
Awesome ride out today on the big bikes. A loop of Dartmoor starting at Lee Mill and drawing stumps and heading for home at Tavistock as it was getting dark. Not quite the full intended loop but great fun all the same, and we got most of the decent (and challenging!!) lanes in. 114miles door to door for me a...
Went out on my own today, went to go down 202-119, heard shouting behind me while opening the gate to the field, so rode back up to see what it was all about. He said not allowed through, I asked Why? He replied after a pause, we are Shooting all through the area. I replied where are the warning signs then t...

Now that the latest storm has abated, please can you alll go and check your local lanes. At the weekend or as soon as you can, go and walk, ride cycle or hack around the lanes closest to you. Take a folding saw and some secateurs, but most of all your eyes. Take pictures of any blockage then clear it if you ca...
