has anyone got or tried a slim seat? i have an 07 plate so the seat for mine will lower 20mm. doesnt sound like much but does it make a difference? dont want to have the suspension shortened as i cant afford to and i dont want to have to make the bike stiffer to stop botteming it out. Cant cut the subframe cos...

I got a third of the way round my normal stockland route and found many new obstructions all of the lanes i rode had changed, johns lane near the the fish farmer Wilmington...
What a great newsletter this month, thanks Rob Just one question though, the text only runs for half the story on my 'It may rain but then again it may not' run report that Brian kindly produced (as it should be, one leads, someone else does the run report ). Could Brian post it on the forum please to giv...
No doubt one of the oracles of laning will get it right - but see if you recognise this lane (from today) Answers on a postcard. If you fail I may give clues...............
I know quite a few riders don't like either goggles or visors and use safety glasses instead. These seem to have a foam frame which will keep cold air and possibly dust out.
Never had such a wet drive to work (Paignton to Plymouth) as this morning. Going through Totnes at the start of the Avonwick road there were massive floods that we were just able to get through, just at the top of the hill (leaving Totnes) where the lane joins the road on the left - most of the lane appeared...
Hey has anyone used one of these. Is there any video coverage of one being used on here thinking of getting one but dont know if they are any good? Think they were called an e cam or something like that on amazon. They are called an md80 on flebay. Thanks Rob

Just started to do my homework for a replacement TV (46" - 50"). It's a minefield out there, like usual, and so easy so get on the stepping stone price incrementer (when you look at the first TV for £500, then find its better model for £600, then £700 and each time you find a small feature that s...

First time, found the puncture, it was on a seem of my inner tube. Fine, patch it ( I though), put the tyre back on - still leaking.... Took tube out and inst...

Irresponsible off roading. Reckless. Shocking. Not for the faint hearted. Cool. Fearless. Brave. All the above are quotes from the national site about the following video. You decide.
What a weekend. if it comes around again its well worth going. Best weekends riding ever. Having legends like matt sagar and ed jones to name a few teaching riding skills is unreal. Seen the best riders ever close up is well worth the 4 hours drive with kev and wardy in a tight transit van lol. pics and vids...
Although I have travel insurance to cover the usual gubbins, is there anywhere I can get bolt-on insurance to cover off-roading in Europe, prior to our imminent Portugal trip? It would need to cover medical and repatriation - not much more than that really, but would need to cover off-roading on rent...
