but with the deterioration of xtrips back this winter it's time to give up greenlaning and sell the bikes. We have really enjoyed riding with you guys over the last few years, but it's time to give up I'm afraid, so over the next week or so, when I can get the bikes out and take some pictures, it's all got to go, all the bikes, the three bike trailer and the helmets and other kit.Even gonna sell Sammy's little quad Old smoky. I'll try and get some posted in the for sale section soon.
We will still try and make it to the odd meeting if we can. And keep our eyes out for the talks etc.

That's terrible news!  I wondered where you two were, you've certainly been quiet on here.   Is Mr. Trip's back really that bad?  I can relate - mine gives me stick from time to time but not as bad as Dave's.  Maybe reconsider riding in the summer?

Whatever you decide to do, best of luck, and keep on using the forum!!!

Oh we're so sorry to hear that news, but thought something must be up as you've both been quiet for a while. If theres anything we can do to help you guys out please give us a call, fettling bikes for sale or delivering or anything. We really enjoyed our rides out with you,  the ladies and novices rides set me (Jacki) on my way, although that ice last time - ooohhhhh!!
Hope to see you at a meeting or event, maybe at Hazelwood in the summer.

Sorry to hear you are not well enough to ride Dave. Enjoyed several ride outs with you and Lorn in the past. I know why your always on Triumph Torque now!

Is your back up to road riding, or do you have to pack that in as well?

I was planning a ride out over your way soon and was going to drop in and say hello. Sorry to hear the back is so bad. What's he going to do with all that garage space? He is bound to fill it with things he can polish wink.

Hey Dave so sorry to hear that, your determination and perseverance is something to be admired, I'm a real wimp when my back gives me the slightest jip! What ever you do, I hope you both keep in touch.

Thanks guys for all the kind words. Might buy an old triumph for the back of the garage, so we are still bikers but not sure if it will ever get ridden.

Not planning to drop completely off the radar, so you might still have to suffer us sometimes

Sorry to hear about the back,  the woodland creatures up here will be sorry as well, most were waiting for the rematch to get the last panel on the CCM scratched.  Will just have to get more southeners up here for them to abuse

Lorns leap is still there should you ever fancy another go, at bikerobatics

Tread the circle thrice about, hope to see you about, if you are passing in that blue thing call in for a cuppa

Hi Lorn and Dave,

Can't think of appropriate words to express my sense of sadness and disappointment at your news; the lanes will truly be the poorer for your absence.

Please send my personal best wishes to Dave - and don't forget I am only a phone call away if I can help in any way.

With best wishes and a heavy heart.

Paul

Sad news indeed.

Just because the old man can't ride doesn't mean you have to give up Lorn, especially as you'd done well leading the ladies (and some men!) round the lanes.

Be a shame to give all that experience up.........or is this a roundabout way of saying you've had enough of the CCM?confuse

Sorry to hear that Lorn, I guess it was going to happen sooner or later.

I enjoyed our banter in the days of the DTR.

Dave,,,,I guess your pisstaking skills grow weak old man biggrin. Has the absence of FBF been detrimental to honing this valuable skill?

Sad news indeed, him not being able to get his leg over anymore, the saddle that is.

Hope to see you around at the TRF meets again when I get back to some normality, or though normal is not a word associated with me. ashamed

Sorry to hear about Dave and that you guys wont be riding any more. You did bring a lot of fun to the forum and your rides were enjoyed by all.

Hope the back gets better, I guess all that lack of falling off now can only help !!!!

I'm in Paignton regularly so maybe we can catch up with you guys some time

Been on the tablet stuff for a while now but it still hurts all the time and it's starting to really affect his hips and one knee.

Instead of packing it in, have you considered an alternative vehicle:
