whats the best dtr threads on here ? a search brings up so many,not had time to check through them all yet !

Very Happy ,where do you live ? are there any green lane riders in my area on here ? (hampshire/west sussex south coast/south downs/portsmouth,chichester type area?)

im chuffed to bith with the bik,its a proper bargain, ive looked at so many over the last few weeks aswell !

cant wait to get a helmet and get riding, il get one this week

any advice on insurance ? mhad a ring round a few and tried some online ones earlier

ranged from £105- £300 odd ,for 3rd party fire and theft

i need to know what ones are good when you claim etc

norwich union gave me one of £200 odd with personal accident cover and stuff, id maybe rather pay that to them knowing they are a respectable company rather than one called A Quote through esure, that ive never heard of that was £105 ?

thats the missions for this week, insurance and a helmet, not even sure what type of helmet to get yet,need to have a god look and read on here at threads and seek advice on ehats good or not ! ?

i live in south yorkshire and nearest offraod track is probibly the one in worksop...

only advice i can give is ring around for insurance, i found it alot cheaper. and i think £300 for TPFT is cheap, well compared to mine anyway, im paying £500 just for third party :/ but i have no NCB and im only 17.

as for the helmet Very Happy i bought myself an italian brand 'Airoh' £100 Very Happy
but the sytle is down to you really, i suppose you could wear a fullface one but id rather get a motorcross sytle one.
