Hi, I have been riding roads bikes for 19-years and the TTR-250 is my first ever off-road experience. I bought it back in January, immidtaely joined the TRF and apart from a few local trails and a day out in Wiltshire it has mostly sat in the garage for one reason and another.
Anyway, the little beast was MOT'd today and now that the big V-Strom is practically covered up for winter, its time to get out on those lanes.
If you are in the local Surrey TRF, I did say hello all those months ago, and although haven't met up with anyone yet, hopefully I'll be able to meet up on some trails soon.
This looks like a great forum, and Brian has already helped me out with a few questions re broken headlights (yes, first outing, Grrrr).
Happy trailing.
Paul

To get the best from your TTR you must get out and enjoy it. I joined the TRF a year ago last August and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the local lanes. The TRF members have all been very friendly and helpful.
The trouble is time. Working in the emergency services means I work a lot of time when others don't, and therefore I ride when I can, but sadly mostly on my own. But I will be making a concerted effort to get in touch with the TRF guys over winter.
I did get a sneaky couple of hours in around the local area today and had a chat with a couple of guys on KTM's with wheel bearing issues and then helped out a guy who'd broken down on his Triumph cafe' racer. So, not always totally on my own..
