Is this event open to guests? I have 2 mates who would like to ride. Hoping to get them to join TRF but at moment they are a bit TIGHT!!! I'll keep working on them Lol.
A point of order. Near the bridge over the river on the Old Manaton road some idiots have been riding off road and a steep loop has been eroded into the hillside adjoining the road. Riding such a track may be fun but it is deplorable behaviour that I would hope no TRF member would condone as it undermines th...
Hi all, giving some serious thought to a long off road tour in foreign parts. Im thinking spring to summer next year and Im thinking several months.

Are any of you thinking of coming along for the day. I'd love to do it but I don't want to be on my onesies. It's a 10.30am meet at the Lee Mill Industrial Estate just after Tesco once you come off the A38. Mind you, there'll be a shed load of bikers and signs no doubt so just follow them Already familiar with a f...

I'm moving to Dorset at the end of June, and have joined the Dorset forum. Does anyone have a memory map overlay of the Dorset Lanes.... or any routes....
Don't often get to ride midweek - work gets in the way but had a cracking short notice spin with Doug an Lanza Dave today in an area which at weekends is totally devoid of all lifeforms..... Today 2 GG's - both very skittish but we stopped and at the request of the riders (who were both very nice, chatty and a...

Does anyone know if we are able to get hold of the form that the garages use for the MOT? Could be well worth having one when due thats all. But for now: Just want to know if i need a reflector on the number plate, and as the bike XR400 does not have indicators, do i need to cover the actual switch up or does it ne...
After parting with my trusty KTM to a very decent chap from down south, I went and bought this beast, I always wanted one, and I picked this one up from Essex yesterday. Not a good journey on a bank holiday Saturday. I've not used it on the lanes yet, but on a ride over to see FBF in the shire of Danbury, I had...

If anyone finds a selection of dusty cans of PJ1 frame paint with the colours I need lurking on a shelf on their local bike shop, can you PM me please? Nowt left in CMS - I have check...
I've bought a Hagon rear shock for the CCM! The shock is actually for a 'onda CRF 230, but as I've just bought a standard one of those off Cap'n Paul as an experiment, which really worked: lowered the bike by 40mm, and really felt much better sprung, even though the shock has NO damping, it's well worth doi...
Saw this outside a pit tent in the paddock area at the most recent BSB at Cadwell Park, 23rd May 2010. The missus had her new digi SLR I bought her for her B'day so I told her to take some snaps for 'Those that like it old Skool' here on this forum. It was a minter. Question for those who don't know (inc. me!): Wh...
