Been out of the major bike scene for some years now but enjoy flitting through what's what now and again, anyone checked out this Honda with trailtech options. A quarter of the prise of a big Gs BMW and half the price of a Ktm 690 adventure, go take alook on you tube?
Many thanks to Mike Wright for taking me out for a bimble around the local lanes on Sunday,and taught me a few things to make my riding better (and more importantly,I stayed on the bike!).I had a great time and my confidence was boosted greatly,especially liked the flooded lane,and sorry to Mike for so...
Just got myself a CRF 250X that has come fitted with front and rear tyre mousses. The rear I was told by the previous owner is an oversize unit which I presume is correct as it feels a lot harder than the front. The advice I need is why would the rims be fitted with standard schraeder Valves if there is no tub...
I was planning some routes around Dartmoor on a 1.50k OS map from this site http://www.qwerf.com/greenlaning/?county=devon but some of the lanes are actually marked as footpath but one of the routes markes as a foot path I have already been down and is actually marked as byway. Which is correct or d...
To buy my Bonnie? Apart from the fact that the old ones I guess will now see heavy discounts - no, as one of the reasons I got mine when I did was I wanted one of the last ever air cooled ones I'm just coming to terms with FI and these have ABS, Traction control and all manner of new fangled gizmos that I just do...

Took a look see yesterday with Doug just for a short recce but we were only there for 10 minutes deciding on what method to use to get the deed done when the farmer rocked up in his Tractor fully armed and tooled up to do the job! Well what can you say but i guess "we'll help" Two and half hours late...
I'm sure this has been asked many times before but humour me. I'm looking for a rugged satnav with largeish screen that I can load routes from memory map and the lanes overlay onto. Budget less of an issue than getting good kit. Recommendations?
Next event from Core Offroad Events is on Sunday 1 November. It is a new venue that has only ever been used by some of the Somerst TRF. We are in the process of setting up a fun practice track and it's already looking good! It is situated just 10 mins from Junction 22 on the M5. It is a large site with hard stan...

Just a quick one, calling upon local knowledge for parking.I am leading a group of Somerset TRF guys out starting from the Totnes area. Looking at the normal vans and trailers. Does anyone have recommendations for group parking in the area. Dartington is another option.The parking rates appear to...

hi I'm after some advice. I have a 12 volt lithium ion battery in my freeride can anyone recomend a battery charger. Also is it OK to use an ordinary battery when jump starting. Cheers
On the hunt for either, decent mileage, SWB and standard! Looking to spend up to £5000, would ideally like to spend less, but finding it difficult to find anything decent for less. Thanks, Crock
