Re: thinking about doing a bit of off roading!
i know the area well and theres a few public footpaths that i'd probably get away with riding on. where i stay you might see a copper maybe once a year lol, but sappose all it takes is one dog walker to report me and they would set up a military operation to catch me lol. and i reckon the lack of la...

Re: how many of you home bois are commuting this winter?
As far as snow goes, Avoid. If not take it at walking pace with both legs out ready to stabilise from experience ive found by doing that the bike is more likely to go from under you, sideways :/ hate getting caught in car ruts - especially when you have fresh snow on top of ice :thumbdown: cant blo...

Re: thinking about doing a bit of off roading!
Having done a bit of off roading you'll be gearing the bike for off road as road gearing will be too high. Therefore you only require something light and punchy, I started with a KMX200 and it was more than enough. I lost the plot and bought a XR600 which was too much for green lanes, it wasn't hap...

Re: thinking about doing a bit of off roading!
A good xr will still hold its value well, and a cheap one will be trashed....the engines need oil changes. But any enduro or trail bike is a good place to start, there are loads of options from old bikes like DT or TS or xl 175 / 250. To newer things like the DR350 then up to date with the DRZ. the...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I did see once ( on the clock ) 179mph, on a 2005 cbr1000rr. I have to say it was totally stable and planted. 174 on my SP1, same, stable. Fastest I've seen on Storm is about 160. All done on public roads. However, in what country, I'll not divulge. Take that porky !! :lol: all my bikes have been h...

i cba watching it all cos the guy is clearly a blert. riding round in a discourteous manner criticising others while letting go of the bars to give double finger, then almost hitting a pedestrian who is already halfway across the road... he needs to learn (preferably the hard way) that when youre o...
