A Garry experience is too much for my Tourances but if I can get the XT running more reliably (it needs dehibernating) I might join you.

Just as soon as I buy a trail bike
Just as soon as I buy a trail bike
ok ok ok
what we were thinking of doing was a different route that would be better for the larger bikes, more fire roads but still enough of the more interesting stuff
I will be going on the adv this time but I will have fitted tkcs, something that I know I'm going to regret after I've done some two up touring!!!!!
the aim is to try and avoid the really wet stuff (water) and not ride "that" route until later in the year when it has dried out a bit.
If noone else wants to go then I shall take the xl
mutters- get some GS shocks and I'll fit them for you, you will be much more confident then....
cheers

I can make it as tricky or easy as people want 
But it will be nowhere near as wet as the last run thats for sure...Will be saving the splashes for the summer for those who are up for it

I'm much more confident off road since I went to Morocco and the height of the bike isn't the issue for me. I like the fact that it is tall and anyway I've never ridden a bike I can flat foot
I thought the last trip we did off road was a little too much for such expensive bikes. I'd be happy to ride them on a £1k trail bike but not a £9k GSA, especially as you'd never push one out of there.
If we are going to do a bit less technical stuff then I am up for it
my thoughts
I have no issues with riding the adv on these routes, that's why I parted with my extremely hard earned cash for it, the way I look at it is that if you knock it around a bit off road then you will probably have really enjoyed owning the bike as you won't have been worrying too much about it's resale value
they are built to do that sort of work
just my opinion

I did more damage to my bike in one afternoon following you than I did in a ten days in Morocco

Just goes to show that an afternoon in Wales is more difficult than 10 days in Morocco

I won't have my TKCs fitted so we have a choice, not too muddy and a bit rough or I take the honda which is ok in mud but the airbox tends to fill up if there are too many puddles.
I think it runs back along the frame and into the airbox
it looks as though it's only us two anyway
new clutch going in the honda this wekend just in case
cheers

amazing
you lot get the oppertunity to ride with someone who has 25 years trail riding experience and none of you take up the offer, is this talk of off roading on this forum just that ?
as it happens this one is cancelled due to work commitments but is probably going to be next sunday (18th)
so all who commented on the tourances thread in a positive way , why not put your name down for next sunday?

We Went Anyway !
Weather looked fine so me and a mate went out anyway
Nice easy start
Some good tracks
Got to where me and Rob had to turn around last week
But this time i took my saw but someone had done the hard work
...So no turning back this time 
Out on the open ground atlast
Slippy little track this one
Looking good
Fair climb out mind you
Time for a calendar shot
And yes we had to do a stream crossing
You should have come on the 1150 Rob
You would have liked this
A lot more tricky than it looks in the pic
All in all another great day down in Wales
