I'm glad you had a good day out Michelle but you realise that riding your RE with a Honda shirt on is a sure fire way to piss him off 😯

No, never would I cross the two.....come on!  I am a rural Canadian, but I do have SOME style....

This photo was after I got home on the Honda, my second ride of the day.  

WOW, to think if wearing that on the RE, just madness.  :rofl:

 

...and to wear leather and that helmet on the RE would also SUCK.....😆

Picked up the new toy today, had an hour out after prepping it for tomorrows ride. Its a Beta 300 X Trainer 

Jury is out for the moment its certainly more agile and easier to ride on the dirt than anything else i have but the gearing is stupidly low, first and second gears are useless for the kind of riding i do at the moment and the front suspension is going to need some work to get it right for me. The seat height is low and i can flat foot both feet when sat on it which is going to be a great help in the technical stuff the XR is a sky scraper in comparison to it. Lets see how a proper ride tomorrow goes

Thanks, the last 2 stroke dirt bike i had was in 1989 so it's going to take a bit of getting used to, the power delivery on this bike is very much like a four stroke though as it has loads of bottom end torque designed more as a trail bike than an enduro bike that and the low seat height is what attracted me to it

Nice one Fred, if you can get used to it after years of four strokes I reckon that'll do you well.   Not really a bike for riding up to Mid-Wales though methinks.

I got it to do the tougher stuff local to me.  Most of tomorrows ride is not what its intended for really but its running in time :classic_smile:
