Trail Ride Sunday 11th Oct

So how much is it for the new mirror?

ummm, might replace it with one of those fold up ones. I didn't actually fall off - just got pinned to the bank.

This was the road that crosses Buxton Golf Course - look carefully at about 28 secs into the film and spot the golf ball nearly hitting Vince!

Paul

oh yes the tw@ts, see if you can hit the big one on that black bike lol

 

[NeverRodeBefore]

I'm in aw Gentlemen, I know Roych and Chapelgate from my 4x4 days. The first time I drove Chapelgate, I crushed the drivers door . I'm too chicken to try those lanes on two wheels.

 

[vincent adv]

Thats hilarious, how did you fall off going that slow?

I am probably going to eat those words at some point.

Mat

210kg+ bike with a 110kg chap on it, in a slippery wet rut with tkc Tyres on = fall off.

Are TKCs not very good off road?

They're a compromise tyre.

Good enough for trail riding, but you probably wouldn't win a motorcross event with them on.

If you ride more on the dirt than road, you might want to consider another tyre.

Don't let Vincent's antics put you off

Seeing him fall off has made more eager to come, I want to see him do it in the flesh, even funnier. I am picking my new-to-me bike up in Cardiff on Sunday and it has a proper set of tyres on it (not sure how long they will last on tarmac though).

PS Warum bist du eine Teekanne?

 

[vincent adv]

Yep they are nice, I just have the humble LC4E 640 Enduro, road it back from Cardiff yesterday the tyres are enduro tyres (just road legal) and not very stable at 70mph - will get a better compromise when they wear out.

Need to give it a good bit of TLC as I took the air filter cover off and the filter is dirty as hell, has grass stuck to it.

What do you chaps have with you when you go for a ride out, dont want to be caught empty handed?
