Yesterday (Monday) was a nice fine day, so I decided that since I haven't been laning recently I would venture out - on my own! I haven't been riding for some weeks because my right leg lost all its strength. No pain, just wouldn't work correctly - and it still doesn't feel 100% but is getting better. Anyw...
11.00 and the suns out, so I decide to go for a bimble, got the bottom of 192 098 just as the farmer was pulling a water hose across the lane, so I stopped for a chat. Interesting tale after talking about bikes, a few weeks ago after the Exeter trial, a group of trail riders stopped at the bottom of the lane, en...
We have a brand new forum member - Tibsy - who I took out on Saturday with his mates Ian and Grant. Unfortunately on one of the last lanes of the day (which then made it the very last lane of the day) he hit the edge of a rut and ended up flying off the bike and receiving a very painful left wrist. Was about 20 m...
I noticed today while riding my Triumph Scrambler on the lanes that the low height and the low centre of gravity made the bike quite easy to manage when compared to my DRZ. But the Triumphs main disadvantage was the weight and fragile pokey out bits. Don't get me wrong the DRZ is a great tool and will go o...
I recognize Badgers, Squirrels, Trout Tickling and I am even on nodding terms with the Leaning Jowler. Not sure what to call this one though Look for the sump guard as the bike leaps out from under it's rider The rider said something about his finger slipping off the clutch as he pulled away [video=http...

Just had a read of the latest issue and got to say Steve H does a great job promoting our group in this mag, all good positive stuff If you haven't seen this mag, grab a FREE copy from your local dealer - or maybe Steve at one of our meetings - it's a good read for anyone into bikes. Also, I think Nic should inv...
Twas driving round my local lanes today collecting firewood from the hedgerows, when I noticed some tyres on the verge just dumped there. Not unusual for farmers to dump tyres on verges round here for some strange reason, anyway my eye caught sight of some trail bike tyres, lo and behold a Pirelli MT21...
