Edit: I meant to say, I suspect this is not news to anyone as there were plenty of bike tracks on the trail.. I emailed this to Devon GRM, but thought users may be interested. I wanted to post in the overlay description forum but I am not allowed in there. I rode Dandy Lane 5229 just north of Exeter today. Th...

Does anyone know of an insurance company who can offer 1 days insurance to cover off road riding in Spain? Or can I add it to my existing policy? Voyager quoted me so much money, it makes the day trip not worth it.
Hi guys , so I've just acquired a Kawasaki klr it was used as a farm bike then left in a barn for 20 odd years, so I'm trying to get it running again and if it seems good I may try and restore it if I can get parts for it , or get it running and let my kids use it as a field bike ? So my ask is does anyone have any bits for th...

Sorry this is off topic, would like to know what oil to buy, have searched the web and its a little confusing. Suggestions are 10w-30 or 10w-40 non detergent ?
What better way to work off the turkey than a bit of hard enduro ....... but as that wasn't available to us we settled for a spot of gentle trail riding instead. Just the three Amigos on this outing despite invites being offered to others who were otherwise engaged. We met at Ivybridge petrol station a...

I have a CRF250 Rally Im willing to swap if that interests you. I value it somewhere between £3-3.5k. Obvi...

Time for a new rim. Its an 96 XR400 and i suspect its the original. Do most people send them off? I would be keen to ha...
As mentioned in my recent ride report there is a large tree down at the Southern end of this lane. It is passable if you manhandle the bike over it but it was a struggle and took more than one person per bike
