It was so boggie my front wheel keeped clogging up and at one point i was sat on the spot flat out in 3rd gear later my clutch started to slip and in the end i did'nt even get up the hill (it is bloody steep tho)

(Old pic not from today)


Mines was the 2nd bike to do a clutch a friends bike did the same earlyer on in the day she had only do 2 or 3 laps @ the time

Her's is a Honda CR125 and mine is a Honda CR250 i think there was a cursh on are's as are's were 2stroke bikes (Thinking about it my other m8 out there on his DT125 yes road bike and road tyres started playing up

My m8s CRF250 and RM250F went on all day not problems

Will get some pics up later when my m8s email me them

 

That looks fun, pity more farmers did not use thier land for off roading would be ace.
tabetha

He must make good money from it on a Sunday its Ł15 a bike and 100's get up there Im still getting into it and spoke to the farmer and got to use it in the wk ect for Ł20 min of 3/4 bike in case one of you have a crash and 1 stays with you and the other can go get help

 

This one has been there for over 12yrs from whot i can rember And he also has a 10mile Endeo Track Not seen that one tho

And the Best thing is its 5miutes from mine to the track

If so, I used to go there, its an awesome track

Me and mates have been looking for somewhere to take our bikes that localish. This seems ideal and looks awesome. Where exactly isit and do you need insurance to ride there??

not to many places to go round here either, desert is ok in mansfield but always seems to be plenty of accidents

 

Yes mate, years ago on a kx125

So you can just come and go as you please

Will have to get a bike again soon as I miss doing it, trouble is ive got nowhere up here to store one

 

Chip if you know the Farmer then anther day is posable
Would be great to see you on a bike again (matt) Guzzler has been up there on his bike not seen him up there for a bit tho Normaly go up on Sunday with my Boy he loves watching

My Bike (BEFORE Yesterday )

 

Ill probably go up there this sunday and see what the crack is. Probably have everyone laughing at me on me tatty DR and dodgey bike skills lol.

My mates are pretty handy on bikes though and will come along aswell. Ones got a proper enduro spec KX and another has a really nice KMX.

 

Ive even managed to find a picture of me at that very track, LOL




Entrance to the forest from the pits is just to the left of the picture if that helps you work out where it is Alan?

 

Whot tyres you got have you got Proper off road ones as my m8 went around on his DT125 52 Plate with road tyres and he was slipping evry where Still got around more then me to Start with

 

The standard of people up there on a sunday isnt that massively high TBH

First time I ever went there, I had only ridden my bike a couple of times, and I was FAR from the slowest there and was beating people on much more powerful bikes.

You just have to disconnect your brain for MX and not use the bit that says "what if I hit a tree" or "the bike is slipping around I need to back off" and instead just keep it wound open, point it roughly where you want it and see what happens!

 

Behind the Person with the camrea is where the burger van is Im guessing you was going that way

Where you living in the country now then still Somerset

Could i Text you a pic as i cant get my phone to send them to the computer Ps will need your Number tho

 

There is some VERY FAST Quick guys up there But i have been told there just go around you if you hold your line
And yesterday felt like i was out in the cossie again 3rd gear flat out and was'nt going any where And the back wheel was trying to over take me going into the Bend

 

Its got a std front tyre but we changed the rear for a used enduro tyre off my mates KMX, as he had a new to fit. Ill see how it goes and invest in a front if need be but trying to keep cost down as its just for messing about on. Cost me and mate 25 quid so far for this bike


Yea i know what you mean . We went out awhile ago when we had DT125 and took it down a local quarry. It was me who had only ever riden a bike for a few mins and a couple of mates who have been riding for yrs.

There was nice section that was proper boggy and had a jump at the end. Both my mates got bogged down half way through and had to push the bike out. Where i jsut kept the throttle pinned and fish tailed through like a pro and proper jumped the end bit, turned her around and did the same on the way back. I was litereally hangin on for dear life with my heart proper pounding. Dunno whether it was shear luck or just natural talent. I like to thing natural talent though

 

This was the other post i started last wk

Shame about your clutch Alan, can be rather tricky up there when its wet specialy when it starts to flood under the bridge..

 

Alan, sorry mate, my current phone is an antique that works with my car kit, so doesnt recieve picture messages.


There are some VERY good people up that track, but there are far more who are not very good, so its ideal for beginners, thats what I meant.

 

It was because it had been BONE DRY for wks and then Pissed down Sunday Night and so all the lose dirt had turned to clay/mud
It did'nt help i had ajusted the chain up abit on Saturday on my own and thought it was ok but found it to be a little tight on the day so losened it off but was to late i think i had do the damage early on

 

Alan you can send me the pic if you like mate and ill put it up for you.

Ill PM you my number in a sec

 

Nice one thanks m8 my N95 wont Blue tooth and the laptop wont pic the phone up on the lead so got to go to the shop and get it sorted

 

that looks like proper fun - i need a bike, a trailer and some protective gear and i'm there

 

The track is ok we havnt been for a while..

Matts selling his bike soon.

 

i bet you it puts you in hospital before the years out

ForeigneRS what sort of bike are you after? im (possibly) thinking of selling my crf 250 04 theres a couple of pics of it in the bike section in Alan thread ...
