where is the middle i wonder neil is whitby way im southport ..may be better to just book in some digs near kirton or cowm ..

neil knows a really good place for messing about where we did the trials weekend could set out a bit of a loop quite abig loop with some flags and dick around for a day and try some diffrent stuff ..im just up for a bit of fun rather than a enduro ride

its a ace place to mess about on

neils the guy with the smily face

over to neil then the place has a bunkhouse and a cafe id say it was around 15 acres

well put my name down please , lets see if your improvements you have made a difference. we need a few more bikes I think. must be a few hiding in the woods ready to show off there skills .

its just a great place to mess about on theres easy medium extream and downright scary all sorts of little places climbs and embankments ..ill just treat itlike a dicking about practice day confidence builder type of thing ..neil knows some great trails up there too (thumbs)looks like a plan forming

spadger might make one in if he isn"t away.....just as an aside,kirten has a camping area,might be too cold though so bunkhouse sounds better (thumbs)

No matter how good you are if your suspension isn't setup properly it makes for hard work, setup the suspension correctly for your riding style and weight and it can transform the bike, so money spent on good suspension work is never wasted.
Steve's (minky) bike is good example.

crf 250 trail bike crf 250x enduro bike pay your money its just a choice.short service intervals or crap suspension . we all know a better bike but it comes back to price !!

No pressure then, I honestly think the try trials venue is a bit limited, we had 6 trials bikes that weekend and it was chaotic at times, 12 trail/enduro bikes ,it would be bedlam, but I suppose it will be cheap compared to a dedicated off road venue, with bunkhouse and cafe on site, I think a couple of hours "dicking about" fri and sun on the land and keep sat for a full day's greenlane day . I'll give him a bell and see if it's doable and get some dates. (thumbs)

, cheers Mick , will keep an eye on date , me and her of to Spain for a couple of weeks December and tripping in Jan / Feb , but the bikes have just been fixed could do with being bent and broken again ! , on another note got a good yoshi exhaust of Chris on here , cheers , and looking to upgrade suspension on both , shock / Spring advice happily received ( no arguing ) I know , buy a better bike but have had ktm's wrf's etc these do the job for us when we're away without worrying to much about services etc , and the exhaust 'll make it sound like a really big and powerful thing
