I don't aspire to be a proficient offroader, and thankfully I know my limitations. I'm not sure some of those guys do though. They keep falling over when they're not even moving! WTF? If they're novices why aren't they on something like a CRF as one guy was? He must have been pissing himself at those guys struggling with those big bikes. Something the video don't show is that their going up very steep hill and there are high spots on the ground so if your bike is on one you cant reach the floor like our guy at 7:20 , if they keep at it they will learn what to look out for and get better. But the real problem was the guy that was leading them and planned the route is a good rider he flew up there no problem and didn't realise how green the guys he had with him were, he's taken that lane off the novice route now which is a shame for them because the rest of the lane is real scenic and relatively easy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't they have spaced them out a bit more so everybody got a clear run without somebody else blocking their way? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although even if you leave a gap you have no idea whats happening in front until you get there. It only takes one to stop to fuck up you line and on that hill its hard to start off on any bike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 My boy just rang me to let me know that a severe storm is hitting Amsterdam tomorrow morning......around about the time we're due to get there. Apparently he thinks there's a possibility our flight will be delayed or even cancelled. And if it's not, then we're likely to get a lot of turbulence along with a rough landing! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Been fiddling with the Beta tonight, after my tunnel outing i thought i'd have a go at fitting some additional lights to improve the candle fitted as standard, picked these up from eBay for 27 quid wanted something small as the bikes output is low Nipped out for a spin and have to say i'm impressed This is the stock light the camera makes everything look better than it is in real life this is a warm yellowish light not white as it looks here This is with the LED's on with the standard light as well I had a rip over the mountain and i could see perfectly and the voltage stayed above 14 volts so looks like they will be ok for longer rides in the dark And this is probably why the cars were flashing me LOL Got to wire them in properly now as i only lashed them in to test them out, the dash is a bit crowded so might have to move things about to fit the switch or might have them come on with the main beam via a relay haven't decided yet. They are good for the speeds that i do on the beta but on a road bike you would outride them as they don't project very far but very happy with them roll on the winter LOL 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
