Another great day out on the trails today. Weather was dry (in the main) and even sunny at times and the temp wasn't too cold either ..... but still lots of water about which made for a mucky outing indeed.The chosen route was our Tavistock run which runs up the west side of the moor, reaching Sourton Down...

My Honda Transalps exhaust is falling apart around itself. I have managed to find one company online who makes a full stainless exhaust for it, but I was wondering if anyone here knew of any exhaust fabricators in the area? cheers

We will meet at 0900hrs Otter nursery aka Jacks Patch in Bishopsteignton and be out for about 3 to 4 hours. It will be great if you all get dressed up in festive gear and there will be a prize...
I know that this is a perennial topic, and if I asked 100 people Id probably get 100 different answers, its a very personal choice depending on many factors, but Id be keen to narrow it down. I currently ride a Honda CRF 250 Rally and not only is a bit too high for me and my novice riding, it is also getting so b...

Most of the run submissions I now receive are tracklogs which makes processing much quicker and easier as we have some excellent home-grown software that takes a gpx file (although it reads any format) and produces a run sheet which is then added to the archive.This software references a database of...
