Sun was out so so were we greenlaning in mighty Dorset. The first lane we did had a downed tree at the end so some shuffling past was in order, it's been cut and thrown into the lane on purpose, probably by people from the adjacent golf club, seems old businessman like trying to spoil other folks fun. A li...
My good friend Ian wanted to do a re-run of a route that we first did back in 2008 and had managed to get a day off work to do it So I dusted off the old route and made a few minor changes to accommodate a starting point from TTR Steve's place at Hatherleigh. We had four riders: Ian on a KTM, Jim on a WR450F and St...

I'm just not using it so it needs to go to somone who will. Its road registered, I have the full V5 in my name and its M...

I've seen other people do it on the internet, but just wondering if its OK to cut off the fork gaiters and just run it with the bare fork?
