Intro to offroad.

[majodude]

Had a fantastic morning on Wednesday, in the snow, sliding round Salisbury Plain with Trail and offroad experience in Edington, well worth the £85 including all kit, insurance and use of a Kawazaki KLX250. Going again on Friday, they do group discounts if anyone fancies a bash. I must get into offroading.

[Conehead]

Sounds like great fun. :)

[Conehead]

And you had a great day for it too. :)

[majodude]

Yes it was very funny trying to keep upright!!! Great fun though, really looking forward to Friday!! I'm now thinking I'll get a KLX!!!

[Squashed_Fly]

I've done their course, it was really good fun!

[Dabz]

sounds like a great way to enjoy the snow!

[Caz]

Can you get some details as I really fancy having a go and I know a few others would be interested too. especially with group discount :)

They've got a small 125 2 stroke but it's a bit of a handful

[Caz]

Kawasaki KLX 250 and 450 trail/enduro bikes. We can always ask them Tina ;) :)

[majodude]

Beamer, they are Kawasaki KLX250, and yes he does have a bike with lowered rear suspension.

[BB]

He had a bike to fit me when I did this a few years back. Was great fun - I fell off so many times! :D

Crosbie - really interested in doing this (used to race downhill MTB so have always enjoyed getting muddy and falling of at the limit of grip :D)

[CharleyX]

Tina Martin did have a 125 last year which was lower !!!

[Geordie Stu]

:( That's the weekend of bike safe :(

[bigpete]

[Caz]

Shorty and me are doing the Bike Safe too on that date

[Geordie Stu]

Oh Bugger shall I ask for an alternative date ? Give me a date lads n lasses when you can make it ? ::) ::)

[Nelly]

Anywhen except those dates :)

[Scotty]

Five of us made the most of the foul weather and went off-roading on Sunday (Me, Jaydee, CharleyX, Viking and Mikkie) It was very slippery, wet and cold, and it was great fun :) Mikkie obviously wan't wet and cold enough on the first lane after lunch so he dived bodily into a deep muddy puddle to remedy his condition :o

When it's too horrible to ride on the road, drag yer off-roaders out and go get muddy - you know it makes sense [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[Caz]

Stu, can u get another date anytime :)

[majodude]

After doing the intro, I went back and did the full day, 10% discount after first visit, it was brilliant!!! Stopped for a pub meal in Avebury(included in the price). If a group of 6 go, one person goes free! Divide the saving between the others.
