To all the Guests on here…

Finally I look like Rambo …

Gone to church..,. It’s handy that there’s a pub next door

Decided to start a thread on the ongoing maintenance and repairs for the Beta First entry was from some work last night when doing some maintenance i noticed the rear shock mud plate has been rubbing against the swingarm I've heard this is common on the KTM's but not read any reports on it for the Beta's The two scuff marks above the wear mark are where the air box is hitting the swing arm when my fat arse is bottoming the suspension out I cut and shaped a bit of Ali to fit where the flap touches so that will wear out instead of the swing arm I bonded it on with Tiger Seal the stuff used to stick car trim on good stuff I sprayed it this morning with some stone chip for colour mainly because it's what i had kicking around not too worried about the finish it will be covered in crap next time i'm out with the mud flap fitted and look at my shiny new non gay tyre

I had a chance to get out on the WR250 today and I was keen to see what the front suspension was like now. I didn't get away until 11.00 am so I decided to do the local lanes starting at Keynsham. The first lane is always a good test as you ride uphill over baby-head size rocks ............. First test passed and on we go to some more lanes nearby .............. On Featherbed lane I noticed some new signposts, I'm pretty sure peeps have been trying to cut through here by following their sat navs to avoid queues on the A37,,,,,,,,,

A few more lane were done on the way back, I only covered 67 miles but probably 20 lanes and tracks were done on this route. Best of all the front suspension is working just fine now with the new fork leg and 10w oil instead of the original 5w.

You really don't want to carry on down that lane through this in your Ford Fiesta............. A few more lanes were done in lovely weather if a bit breezy ............. When I got to Ubley Drove there were a couple of guys on CRF Rally's who were sawing a tree that was blocking the lane ............. I rode on up to the top and then came back down again to get to Harptree where a stopped for a pint ...............

My kinda YZ--....

Surely from her mother’s side, you’re so easygoing.

Just had dinner with my youngest. She's a nightmare, no idea where she gets that from.

NO intro needed....

Just met up with him he is just about 5ft

@Six30 where are you sweetheart?

A bit of apparel shopping done, I've packed it away so not to leave it on a wall outside the store.

Sweet WR 125.....

So probably only a quarter of the route consisted of off road (lanes) Yes there is a chance to open it up on the straight bits where you have good vision but you always have to be mindful of horse riders , walkers etc.

When you say 20 lanes, what distance do you think you went off tarmac? Some of those look really nice! Do you face many people or are you able to open it up a little on the faster bits?

My favourite kind of lane

Nice shot of the Professor @ his office....

to the anonymous creepers on here ....

Nice pink Honda scooter you have.

I'm having a beer and a cigar.

Fancy a coffee sugar tits

I'm in the medway towns. Aka gammon central.

Sat watching the trees nearly being blown over!.... very draughty out there, glad that I will be in the car, and not on 2 wheels.

Baddest Trail 70 on the planet..... LOL

Cracking crisps Bob i am quite partial to their black pepper and sea salt flavour

I think that would be more appropriate for the anonymous members obviously flounced members creeping on here to see what their missing

or inlets

Maintenance on the Beta tonight. new pads front and rear and a new Michelin Enduro medium tyre on the rear, re-lubed the front mousse and that's not the kind of moose lubing Marcel does

I just had a seance with @XTreme , he spelt out a message for you ............... YOU'RE AN ANNOYING CUNT !!

Took a rideout over the Bwlch and back again with my son and friend "Dice", the Righos road is closed for months, spoiling the round trip, still great fun though except for a couple for dickhead cagers, saying that, they were fun to deal with too Nice old boy with his "Steam Punked" Superdream, it's even got a Harley rear mud guard, you know the parts that makes all Harleys go half the speed of anything else including Zimmer frames It was good to shoot the breeze about old bikes with him My behemoth barge, it looks stupidly big next to most bikes, but it does weigh 215kg dry

So after church yesterday I decided on a run down to Moffat and St. Marys Loch, I was going to get something to eat at the loch but after a spirited run down the A701 stretching the limits of the bikes new handling I was ready for a break, luckily the excellent Moffat chippy was open so I was able to have some gourmet food for lunch. After this I headed off to St. Marys Loch, the sheep have been sheared now so they are super chilled and don't give a hoot about traffic at all, they are spending the day licking the salt off the road and scaring unsuspecting motorists and bikers, no worry for me as I grew up in a farming community. There were a lot of bikes out, the Scottish countryside of course did not disappoint. You can see some sort of dry stone ring on that picture, I took a closer look but left it alone, probably witches or a sheep brothel. There was quite a lot of water running down from the tops. Pretty sure this sheep's buddy was dead, it still had wool and looked like it was victim of a fall, it is Scotland so it was probably drunk and fell down the hill while staggering home, nature will reclaim it. Fred would still shag it. Anyway I got down to the Loch which was busy with bikes, swimmers and canoes. This is actually Low Loch, St. Marys Loch proper is a little further along, there were a big group of young riders there which was good to see, it was funny listening to them, I was stood with a guy who was on a Multistrada, same age as me and we were laughing as the kids were talking the same BS that we did when we were that age, maybe biking does have a future. There were loads of wank panzers with all the accessories and all with intact chicken strips, ridden by middle aged fat lads trying to recapture their lost youth before going home to put those shelves up the wife has been nagging them about. After a cigar, I headed east through the valley towards Selkirk and then explored some roads I hadn't ridden before on the way back to Edinburgh, did about 140 miles, the weather was braw as you can see.
