Sir Fallsalot Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Me and a couple of mates out just before the lock down replacing one madness with another seems along time ago now My mate getting used to his DRZ he picked up that week The last time we went out this was me the new rear tyre helped this time We had a great day until my mate dropped his DRZ doing a steep hill climb and broke his clutch lever, I'd given him a lecture about being prepared for our trail rides and luckily he has a nice big bag on the back of his bike full of tools or so i thought all that was in there was the important stuff tobacco, papers, phone and wallet so made him think he had to ride it home without a clutch for a few miles before bodging the spare lever i had for my bike on his hope he's learnt a lesson but i'm not holding my breath 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Offroad reports from the UK always seem so cold and wet and unpleasant. Good on you for not letting it get to you, I'm more of a warm weather offroader, people here don't like it because of the dust but since I ride alone it doesn't really bother me.

Cold is the only way i can ride i cant stand the heat so if we get a summer i don't ride that much. Don't like the dust either but as you say its OK if your out on your own or in front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming back from Yorkshire a couple of years ago it was 30c me and Specs got stuck in traffic around Oswestry area i think, It was difficult filtering on the bikes with all the gear on Alan suggested we head west a bit before we turned south again which sounded like a good idea but his "a bit" was 30 miles i thought i was going to die of heat exhaustion it wasn't nice. hot weather for me is only enjoyably from the shade in a beer garden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Like it Fred, we managed a ride on the Friday before lockdown as we thought it was coming Just a loop around the Cotswolds and sandwiches and flasks, no stopping in cafes. We also came across this twat............ It's time for you to look away now Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I'm shamed to say that we took the path, that was my first time ever that I'd done that Fred, but the twat in the car was on the shallow side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that Bob drowning my XR on Salisbury plain cost us about an hour and half to get it going again and me a lot of money to rebuild it afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
