Incorrect, I've never had wooden leg and my current item is carbon fibre and titanium . Thank you for your concern

Fair play but that's four too many for my liking. A group of 6 is my limit , probably why I don't do TRF anymore .

Did all those go off on one trail ride Fred ?

I've had this conversation with myself about 100 times in the last six months , do I replace my CRF250 Rally with the 300 version, in the end i've decided to keep the 250 . There are two main reasons for this ; the first is build quality. I have two mates who have bought 300's and they've both been disapointed with the quality, whereas my 250 is 5 years old now and has been ridden in all sorts of shit and muck and is looking better than their 6-9 month old bikes. The second reason is that hardly any of the parts are interchangable between bikes which means I'd have to spend a lot to make a 300 trail worthy as I couldn't just use parts off the 250. The 250 is by no means the fastest bike in the world but it puts the power down where you need it on a trail so I can live with the slower progress on the road.

You are right about the 250 and 400 sharing the same chassis and the 125 and 175. From what I remember the DT175 MX was much better off road than the TS185 but the Suzuki was the better road bike. I rode a long distance trial in 1982 on my brand new TS250ER , I was still running it in at the time. My mate was gutted as I beat him on his DT175MX, he lost nearly twice as many points as me

I couldn't possible reference what your chicken will be like as I've never actually eaten in a Nandos in my life

Cheers I’m surprised they haven’t banned this stuff

+1 , I walked out of the door at school and forgot all that . Don't get me started on algebra, who the f*ck uses that ?

What did you have to give him ......................

I totally agree, I like the look of old bikes and then I punch myself in the face to remind me what they were like

My apologies @Pedro , I turned intothe antithesis of @XTreme for 5 minutes

If it's the same family I met they're from Wolverhampton, I think the guys name is Eddie ? He's got a Kawasaki VN1500, I sent him a workshop manual after our visit.

Yes, I wouldn't mind doing that as I camped there last May for a couple of nights

That's for a guided tour , I was happy to pay nothing and just roam around

My mate had the DT250 , it wasn't as good as the 175. I had a XT500 enduro , it was a heavy lump, great engine but not great 6v electrics . Worth crazy money now .

Depending on what I hear about this year I may give it another go next year .

Some info .................. Suitably impressed I rode on through Pewsey Vale to get a gander at the White horse ................ and rode some more trails around Avebury but not this one, the ruts were about 2 foot deep in places and I only have 3mm tread left on my tyres On the way home I checked on the lane with the fly-tipping from last week, top marks to Wiltshire CC as they had cleared it up and then a short stop by the duck pond in Biddestone to have a coffee on the way home ............

So what do you do if you have a bit of spare land, you have an interest in past times and you live in a part of the country full of neolithic monuments ? You build your own Long Barrow of course That's what some bloke did near All Cannings in Wiltshire so today I went to have a look at it , I rode across the top of Rounway Hill to get there............. and along the byway that crosses the Kennet & Avon canal to get to it .............. And I wasn't disapointed , what an amazing feat of engineering. But what's more impressive is the fact that dudes did this with basically their bare ahnds and rudimentary tools over 5000 years ago There's a locked gate to stop you from going inside but you can arrange to get access for £30 if that's your thing. I made do with poking my nose through the gate ............ and then I clambered ontop to get a view from above ..............

Suzuki have lost the plot in recent years , a nice yellow ain't going to sell a bike whenb the competitor has more power and is lighter .
