Sir Fallsalot

Yes when i take new riders on that lane i tell everyone to just keep going don't stop but leave a minute gap between the guy in front before setting off, there is a gate half way up in the worst possible place to start off again i usually go up and open that before everyone giving them a clear run. There were other riders not with the group coming down so that didn't help either.

Just inexperience

Just watching a video of a TRF outing on the weekend with some new to the trails riders that poor Norden and brand new and the guy at 7:20

It's how Ren sounds when he talks with his teeth out

I think he means this one Instead of this one

Not if you use a rattle gun

There's another pot of pens down the door but i can never find the right one when i need it they all dry up LOL

Got out of bed at 5:30 this morning to get to a site in Tenby to disconnect a valve the people I’m meeting were a hour late so that’s pissed me off to start. Luckily the valve turned out to be a plug in job undo four screws and it’s unplugged now I’m sat here waiting for these two numpties to fix it but I don’t think they have a clue what they’re doing not often I get an easy job

Yes it’s one of those lanes I like to do once a year just because it’s there and not that far from me same as druids way

Strata isn’t as exclusive as it used to be now it’s part of the TET. I met two different groups of quad riders and a couple of 4x4s No bikes though and didn’t see anyone on the other lanes I rode lots of road bikes out yesterday though

I get people on the TRF site asking me if routes are doable on a CRF1000 i always reply i could do it on your CRF but not mine

Lots do it on Gs's as Strata Florida is part of the TET route not something i would want to do it on though

Decided to sod the front garden off for today and do my Annual Pilgrimage to Strata Florida Abbey instead. Most of you have seen these places before but if Pete can keep repeating himself them so can i LOL I set off a little late it was 10:30 by the time i was on my way the weather was overcast and cool, i had a nice slow road ride until i hit the road from Ystradfellte to Heol y Senny i always seem to get carried away on that road and it brought me to my first lane of the day where i ended up fixing the gate as it was off its hinges the dopey fucker who fitted it put the bottom hinge upside-down so all the weight is on the top hinge a rough fix it should go in the bodge section but it works fine don't know how long for though. While i was here i found one of those Geocache things it had a £1 coin in there a pack of fag papers and some weed so i nicked the quid and threw the weed i didn't have a pen to sign the register LOL I stopped to open a gate further on and when i turned around the bike was on the floor it had rolled off the stand and ended up breaking the rivet pin on the gear lever so this is what i had been riding with all day it was ok and it didn't make any difference to shifting and i saved the bits before they got lost there's been some tree maintenance on the next lane this was all enclosed, certainly was easier to ride not ducking under low branches Further up it's still overgrown The track goes down to the right in this photo and the easiest way to ride it is straight out into that fecking gate almost pushed my spine out my arsehole when i hit my head on it From here i headed over the firing ranges to Tirabad and through the Crychan Forest onto Cynghordy and this lane which is very wet and mucky though the winter months a lot easier to ride in the dry From here i was onto the Llyn Brianne road another one i seem to speed up on, no photos as the riding was fast and flowing and i didn't want to stop, the top end of Llyn Brianne brings you to the start of Strata Florida in the background is the road to Tregaron another great road When i got back to the bike i spotted a flat fox poor fecker Onto the baptism and there's plenty of water for it the river crossings were straight forward enough it was the puddles that would catch you out when i rode through two of them i knew they were deep because the bike went quiet as i rode though At the furthest point from home here just past Llyn Teifi and onto Claerwen Res Top end of Claerwen Res this kind of track is where the XR excels it is so nice riding it along here. Looking over the dam wall i'm heading for the track on the right of the river But there's another river to cross first i played it safe and swept around to the right straight through almost had me in last time A bit further along after Bobs step A long road ride from here to Talybont on Usk where i headed home over to Trefil and across to Merthyr Talybont Res i'm riding the other way just turned the bike around to take the photo same on the Pontsticill res photo Pontsticill res From here it was over my mountain and home, it was a ride I've needed for a while spent most of it on the pegs because my arse was sore. It was a 172 mile loop. I'm in the middle of changing the oil and filter now ready for the next ride.

I don't photoshop any of them Bob just a bit of camera trickery LOL

Your starting to sound like zzak, if you don't believe what i believe your all idiots sort of thing, if all it was about was using the bike for what it was actually built for it would never have been designed let alone manufactured. How many adventure bikes see the dirt. We are all different and like different things its what makes life so interesting. If we all bought bikes on what is right for us we'd all be more of a bunch of boring old fucks than we are now.

Nope i think they melted bender down to make it

Going out after sunset then

No they haven't had a show there in about 20 years, a mate of mine tried to revive it but timed it wrong and it died a death. They have a motorcycle rally in the farm behind the showground twice a year now called No Bull just beer and bikes but its full of cars, vans and campers so its perfect for six30 tidy event but over the years its turned into more of a festival event so you get non bikers there who behave like arseholes.

This is on this weekend but i wont be going, probably be busy in my front garden playing with a manhole

I've recorded the one of him riding an electric bike haven't got round to watching it yet

Probably done a reverse image search, personally i think that's 10 times worse than photoshopping but that's just me

Not running away just don't believe the crap your peddling, i was having a bit of fun last night but the bottom line is I believe the truth and you believe your version of the truth and nothing on earth will change our minds, so for an easier life its better not to get into a conflict about it and just talk about our common interests which is motorcycles and is what this forums primary subject is.

That's because its a blank canvas to accessorise to your own personal taste hence the cheap price
