Thought id try here first, looking for one of those thule or witter type tow bar platforms that your bike sits on top, with a built in lights, ideally a three bike but could cope with two if anyone has one. Just asking, thanks all.

Here's s sneak preview of next weeks SW championship track at Huntsham near Tiverton, Devon filmed yesterday by a good friend who cannot race next weekend. Video shows around 70% of the lap so gives you a very good idea of what to expect. http://www.pmcrc.org/downloads/core_entryform1.htm htt...
a low speed off resulted in this on a bimble around Hartland today: I thought i would have to hot wire my own bike, but managed to bend it back enough to get the ignition on again. It looks like a knock to the clocks pushed the key barrel back into the handlebars, bending the key.
One of the best days out on the lanes for a long time Damian and myself started from Ivybridge and met Andy at Totnes then we laned it to the Sloop where we met Pete then we did most of the Rocombe and Stokeinteignhead lanes meeting a few horses and fellow riders on the way round, came across Ray out on his o...

In passing the Northern end of 192-168 today I noticed a load of chippings. I didn't venture down to see how far the works had gone, but Mrs Cubber drove by slowly and I took some pictures. Seems as if it may be some time before the lane will return to its former rut. Martyn

Any one recommend a good campsite that will let a small group with vans and tents camp for one night, with shower and near a pub would be great? Thanks Mike
Has any one used these two lanes recently ,I used them 3 months ago and they were tricky ,have they improved ? I will be leading a group around there soon and they are good linking lanes if passable with ease
Here is my new multi tool can be used for major lane clearing of illegal or weathered obstructions, but will scare the arse of any thief trying to steal your prized processions as you stop him racing up the road on your prized bike.Beats any other security measures you have in place and they won't be co...
After 2 years as a member I discovered there is a DTRF newsletter. I spoke to someone at the last Dolphin meeting but not heard anything. Anyone know who to ask?
Had a go on a Pampera at the weekend and think I might have got a bit obsessed by looking at light bikes. So far this one is winning: Just unsure about the red tyres Clicky -- Edited by Devon_Rich on Monday 1st of June 2015 06:05:01 PM
Has anyone got a fuel tank from an EC kicking around i could borrow for a day? I want to see if one can fit a gasgas pampera, the top of the tank is the same but the EC one is deeper so takes a few more litres
Can't remember where I bought my last flexi plate from - think it was from an e-bay supplier (very cheap and next day delivery). Need a slightly smaller and a full size plastic version. Any suggestions..................
