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...

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.

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...

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

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...
An acquaintance has asked me if there are any members who ride a 200 as above. Hes looking to get back into trail riding after 30 years absence. Hes ridden a 300, loved it, but feels, maybe, the 200 might be better suited. Hes a good rider, raced for many years.
