Hi guys , so I've just acquired a Kawasaki klr it was used as a farm bike then left in a barn for 20 odd years, so I'm trying to get it running again and if it seems good I may try and restore it if I can get parts for it , or get it running and let my kids use it as a field bike ? So my ask is does anyone have any bits for th...
Just a long shot, does anyone have any straps off the old style Sidi boots (Crossfire), I'm trying to keep my old boots going long enough for my son to use until he can afford some new ones. Thanks in advance Trevor
Happy New Year folks. Here's a selection of some of the best bits from 2024's days out in Devon mud and filth. 20 minutes are required, and plenty of volume. If you love or loath, please comment on YouTube as (I'm told) it helps spread the word. https://youtu.b...
Some of us planning doing riding event weekend Yorkshire next year. Much like our event T2T, have a choice of Advanced taking on challenging climbs etc or Average, which one to choose? Has anyone ridden up there? Can't imagine anything worse than devil's steps, or is there?
Sorry this is off topic, would like to know what oil to buy, have searched the web and its a little confusing. Suggestions are 10w-30 or 10w-40 non detergent ?
What better way to work off the turkey than a bit of hard enduro ....... but as that wasn't available to us we settled for a spot of gentle trail riding instead. Just the three Amigos on this outing despite invites being offered to others who were otherwise engaged. We met at Ivybridge petrol station a...
A group tradition to wish every trail rider & their families a Merry Xmas Huge thanks for all your hard volunteering this year, in whatever capacity or support to the good ole DTRF group Thank you it's been good to see so much activity
Hi, just tried to inform my current insurer (Bennetts) of a few changes to the bike . Already informed them of the replaced tyres Pirelli MTs, skid pan and rear shock, all these were fine under the policy. Now I want or replace the bars with rentals and risers plus sprung brake and clutch levers.oh dear i...
Dave Clarke and I set off from S Molton car park. As usual. Very luckily for me, a very good friend let me have a plethora of routes and tracks from over the years!!! What an absolute cracker. Two lanes in particular, 180-095 & 180-148. The first, got to the top of 095, Clarkie - "I'm not going down the...

As per the title, its time for the AGM again.Last year we enjoyed a buffet before the proceedings and were joined by approximately 30 people. We had that number at the last meeting, which was a great showing, it would be great to see at least that number of trail riders for the AGM.Shown below is a list of...
Im after a trail/enduro bike. £3500 max. Needs to be fairly light. 125kg kerb weight would be a good starting point. I live in Exeter, so preferably within an hours drive. Road ready would be a plus. I have a CRF250 Rally Im willing to swap if that interests you. I value it somewhere between £3-3.5k. Obvi...
Dumpy bag lane, tombstone lane, 192-237, GRM 5368 call it what you like...there is some volunteering needed to help all users enjoy this public green road! Yes its currently TTRO "Temporary traffic regulation order" prohibiting anyone from using such a road/public right of way...

Hi All, My daughter has just renewed her CBT again so looking for something leaner legal, she has around 2K for the right bike. Anything of interest lurking out there? Thanks David

Good afternoon, Having got a puncture recently I decided to get a new tyre and innertube. Upon removing the protective tape from the inner rim i noticed some corrosion that i deem unsafe. Time for a new rim. Its an 96 XR400 and i suspect its the original. Do most people send them off? I would be keen to ha...
As mentioned in my recent ride report there is a large tree down at the Southern end of this lane. It is passable if you manhandle the bike over it but it was a struggle and took more than one person per bike
Having been awake at various points throughout the night due to a daughter with a less than best sleeping habit, on each occasion I noted the rain hammering down outside which didn't bode well for our planned day out. The day begun with a rather wet and miserable commute up the A38 to meet Russ at Ivybri...
A couple of weekends ago a small group of us were thwarted by fallen trees at Ashcombe. Regulars will be aware that the locals really don't like us riding this lane, and that fallen trees remain fallen. Most could be squeezed under without too much trouble, but one blocked our way and we got around it by...
Just to let you all know, our new treasurer, Gillian Hall...Gill is now in post. The banking has all been transferred over to her, she has joined the TRF and she has successfully made payments to several of our creditors today. As there has been no banking done over the last few months, if anyone feels th...
Looking for / think I can use. If someone has one but doesn't want to sell etc, for reference. I'm fairly certain the centres of stem and fork tubes are the same as the conventional cartridge set up. (I know they are larger fork tubes) SM yokes have rubber mounts for bars, the feature I'm looking for. Happ...
I went and had a cuppa with my mum this afternoon and we got talking about my grandfather who was a keen motorcyclist. She said, 'I think I have some old photos. I think they are great, so I thought I would share them This is outside a garage in Exeter, does anyone have any idea where it was. They had trav...
