Picked this up today

[Rushy]

Thanks to a a tip off from Timpo, a loaned trailer ( Pipster ) and Zapada for checking her over I managed to pick up this very well looked after 1 owner machine today.

Not sure what I am going to do with it as the sum total of my offroading experience is riding from the Stein Inn Car park to my tent a couple of times at Skye in 07 & 08. Managed not to drop my bike though

Got her home safely. As you can see I was messing around with bikes again when I should have been mowing the lawn

I've got a few thinks you can have Jacket , race shirts ,camel back ,will get you sorted and take you up the Peaks for some nice easy trails

Even got a spare front tube you can have for your punture kit

Boots are all you need get some second hand off Ebay

Great choice, enjoy

I bought HRH's and it's been a great bike to learn off roading on.

One thing that has made life a LOT easier for a constant 'dabber' like myself has been the fitting of some Talon lowering links. I'm 6ft and found the bike too tall for green laning, since fitting the links I feel a lot more confident off road.

They come up frequently on ebay and take 30mins to fit, tops.
