Oh yeah Dave, van packed, I'm a sucker for punishment ......bike doesn't use any water, got 2 lt kronenbourg in the bladder, should be fine alas a tad chaux me thinks

Err you don't want to be putting that sort of lime in yer bladder Steve...

How were the trails anyway ?

[daveuprite]

Yeah, did you survive the chalky heat?

Or is it R.I.P. Steve and Phil, they were OK guys most of the time, anyway who wants a beer?

[chunky butt]

yeah great fun, some really good trails, quite hard technical hill climbs, bit like champagne mouton course, touch on the warm side , but great host, nice nosh afterwards, excellent day. I'm defo up for going back, though will be totally different kettle of fish come winter, rather tricky I'd think. Big thanks to Dave the host ..... just going to try and straighten me hand guards now.......had a little off, or two

Christ that could have been a KTM disaster , were you going a bit fast with the trailer by any chance

[PHILinFRANCE]

Maybe a tad but it a real narrow wheel base

He stuck the air con on in his car and roared out of the car park like sheet of a shovel, in a cloud of dirt and dust.......think that blast of cold air must of affected him a touch...... . Have always wondered if those small trailers were a bit on the top heavy side when loaded, mine certainly looks it, ......sort the plastics out after the trip phil

They normally tow well if loaded properly !! I've got a three bike one and it will tow all day at 70 mph , maybe operator trouble
