Im looking at an 07 husky TE250 with 1600 miles on it. Green lane use only but what would you say would be the average speed for greenlaning so I could work out rough hours. I reckon 20mph would give a decent figure....80hrs..... but will it want engine work? if I buy it will need the lot knowing my luck.......

I am going to put a sturdy rack (thanks Tim) on it and am looking for a top box (never thought I would hear myself say that!) to mount on it. I need to be able to put a fullface (XXL) helmet in it plus mayb...

There was an inspection at 11am today & the decision has been made to cancel the whole event. Our point of contact (Wendy) broke a leg yesterday & is in hospital so bad news all round. Thanks to Uncle Ricky, Chriscole & Jane S for volunteering, there is another one in July.
I was sad to hear of the death of Vic Ashford today. He was an accomplished expert trials rider who professed not to like ruts, but rode them in style, and rode regularly until fairly recently. Here is a picture of Vic in his youth in the year I was born. Vic was a lovely gentle giant of a man with an abiding...
