Excellent Stuff and it's not Wales !

[Garry H]

Well it looked at first like there would be just the 2 of us
Gaz and Garry
Nice day so we set off from my house to explore some of the more interesting local stuff
All that rain

Looks more like a river than a track

Gaz demonstrating the art of the bow wave

Me trying to keep my feet dry

Head gasket

Tricky little climb

Sooner or later those pots are going to be trouble

Only just

The local TRF don't take kindly to 4X4's

This track does not look that steep but it is and well rough

Gaz burning some rubber

Another river bed

Half way through the day we met up with Dave on his trusty WRF250

Dave rode with us for the rest of the day and turned out to be a star

Yet another crossing

This shot is thanks to Dave....We will have to take him along again as the run photographer

All in all a dreat day out around Cheltenham Stroud area
Thaks to Gaz and Dave for some great fun

Mr H forgot to mention this little fitness test he set for us. Just before we hit this lane he said "This one can be a little tricky on your bike, let alone mine"

Nonetheless, we had another brilliant day

Great pics, well done guys looks like you had a good ride

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

Fantastic

 

[silvermog]

Looks like a great days riding!

So, how do you find the Sinsalo Enduro (2007?) outfit ... just had it recommended to me as a suitable all day enduro riding outfit, but I'd like an unbiased opinion before committing?

Used mine (jacket only) on Good Friday which was wet but not as bad as last Sat in Wales

Sinisalo Jacket leaked like a sieve

In comparision the old Rukka Goretex suit I wore last sat kept me totally dry, as did my Daytona GTX boots and HG Goretex Gloves

Take your pick................but the Sinisalo isn't waterproof

Great pics chaps!

Although I'm embarassed to admit that I don't recognise any of those lanes, even tho' they're practically in my back yard

I must get out more locally!

I wear glasses so I don't off-road in the rain if it can be avoided so can't vouch for it's waterproof-ness. But otherwise, the fit is well designed to go over BMW armour, and to let you get your leg over a high bike. Have had no probs with the zips or pockets.
I've managed to put one small hole in the calf area, dunno how (bramble, footpeg?), as has Timpo in his but apart from that it's been tough enough, including surviving the bike landing on me a couple of times and pinning me to the rocks

2 of those are very near that mini motocross track type area up in the hills, which I know you've been on cos that was the first time I met you (Toad and Jimbo were also there I think), you had your 650 and a chap let us have a go on his KTM.

Looks like I missed out on a great days riding with good photos

spent the day with nicky ( I can do any think I like as long as nicky lets me )

 

[Aidan1150]

Great pics Garry.

Looks like a day for the tall blue bike, not the little one. She's looking well though.

 

[Dakar-Dave]

Great pix

And like the freckled face boy "Oliver" once said "More Please"

Cheers
Dave

 

[(RIP) petcul]

Great images. Enjoyed them enormously

 

[silvermog]

Thanks for the Sinsalo feedback guys, looks like I might just use my old Rallye 2 (twat) suit then, mostly without the liners and update my road suit to the Rukka I've been promising myself all along.

I had a great offer on an SRO last year and stupidly passed on it, so maybe its about time I passed my suits down and updated my day-to-day suit.

Cheers

Ps. JohnnyB, noticed you were in Rukka on Sat rideout, how did the X go, didn't have a chance to chat with you Sat night ... I've toyed with the idea of one, but might hold out for the Enduro ...

 

[Norrie]

Look's like a FANTASTIC day out was had by both of you GREAT photo's to boot.

JohnnyB ... seen your note in the 650 forum about Saturdays rideout and the X-challenge behaving itself ...

Have fun!

Thanks for the tip Gaz I'll be investigating when I get back to Blighty at the weekend!
