Saturday morning and myself (CRF250L) and Lee (AJP PR7) arranged to meet up and explore some of the lanes local to us in East Devon. We met up at my place and had a look over the map and decided on a very rough route - at this point I should add that I'm new to both motorcycling and trail riding and Lee although...
So after deciding I need an electric start I managed to find a 2011 ktm 400 exc factory, has had the same owner for years and had very light use and has full service history. Is a very clean bike, any tips for this bike are welcome if anyone has experience of them. The bike also came with a very nice set of ex...
Monthly meeting on Tuesday next week. 1900 meet for food in the bar.(optional) 2000 short meeting. 2030 Digital mapping training. 2130 Drawing of door prize. Over the last few weeks I have noticed on the forum that many of us are now struggling with our tech. This could be because of several factors...
Bit of advice please guys, looking at possibly getting rid of my XR 250 to get something with electric start. Have been offered a sensibly priced Husquvarna TE 410 2001. Any thoughts on what these are like? Thanks Dennis
Hi Guys Just wondered if anyone had any saved routed for totnes/teignbridge area they could share with me so I can just put it into my phone and follow the route. Struggling with the whole route planning process. Thanks Dennis
The organisers have been working for several months to sort out with the ACU and MSA how to run the event safely under the Covid rules. This has finally been achieved and the event is on, starting from Haynes Motor Museum in Sparkford at 00:01 hrs this Saturday 8th January. The bikes will start leaving...

Don't forget that it is the AGM next Tuesday 14th December. We will be meeting at 1900hrs for some food first. The the meeting will take place from 2000hrs. It is important that as many people come as possible, so that we can support the elected officers in their roles, and show our appreciation for thei...
I am after a 20 inch front tyre for the B40. Do they exist anymore or am I going to have to change the rim for a 21 inch. I will probably only need to buy one in my lifetime. Any suggestions welcome or if anyone has one lying around at the back of their shed!!! Trevor
Are they all leaf covered death traps or are most of them pretty clear due to the wind we've had? Thinking of braving it out again but not ridden in years so thought I'd get my excuses lined up first.
Hi, Just wanted to let you and your members know that the Pump & Pedal is open everyday for freshly prepared Pizza, Pasties, lovely Cakes and snacks as well as great Coffee and local Beers and Ciders. We are conveniently situated just off the A30 dual carriageway at Sourton Down and have easy park...
Had a trundle along the disputed part of three tree lane today and met an elderly lady half way along. I stopped for a chat, as she asked me how I had got into the woods. I explained that we had reopened the lane several times and that it was a legal right of way. She was unaware of its road status but as an ex ho...
Tuesday 9th November at the Dolphin Bovey Tracey. There is usually a few of us there at 1900hrs for a meal first. Hope to see you there, everyone is welcome. Trevor
I have an issue with the rapidly decreasing battery life on my LS2 Linkin Ride Pal III and wondered if anyone else runs these intercoms and can comment on their battery life please? Supposed to be about 8 hours from a full charge but mine was never brilliant and wouldnt last a full ride from the beginni...
Next Tuesday is the next meeting at the Dolphin in Bovey Tracey. The last meeting was attended by 3 or 4 people, one of whom was a new member. Over the last 2 years despite using on line platforms to carry on the process of running Devon TRF, we have seen numbers dwindle to the level we have now. For the club...
Shocked and saddened by what I saw this morning on a walk from Mutters Moor to The Viewpoint. The two beautiful oak trees have been chopped to the ground and all the overhanging branches removed, this has happened in the last two weeks. -- Edited by jacks on Sunday 10th of October 2021 12:24:22 PM
I lost the left hand side panel whilst out at the weekend. Looking for a replacement as I don't want to ride with the air filter exposed. Has anyone got one lying around in their garage, that they want to sell? I have ordered an original replacement from Fowlers, but looks like I will be waiting a few weeks...
Anyone have a learner legal machine they wish to part with? My Twins are 17 and not getting on very well sharing one bike!! Off road or road as long as ready to ride and road legal.... Cash waiting

Rest in Peace Dave Carling He was the conservation & members secretary A nice man who travelled down to Devon TRF land to settle a few questions the Devon group had, he came across really well and answered many peoples questions at the Dolphin pub where the meeting was held for the DTRF Bit of a sh...
Hi all, I'm not very tech minded but I was using viewranger to plot a route with the ordnance survey map that you could subscribe to. It was easy then just to set off and follow the route on my phone. They have changed and no longer have ordnance survey map available. With the new green rd maps I can see a...
