Posted: 19:57 - 21 Mar 2010 Post subject: Ride report - Green laning 21st Mar 2010 |
|
|
Southern run - 6 attendees ... cracking days laning - no mechanicals, no injuries - weather was spot on too!!
This was my first ride on the long awaited KTM 250 ... and wow ... PURELY/ONLY taking how it rides and nothing else into consideration - it is better than the WR250F in every way*!!
That ruddy chalk/clay hill got the better of me today
Some pics ... have video too and will edit and put some of that up later/tomorrow!!
...
*well bar the fact that I need to 'blip' it down the long hills, which is a bit of a pain - I probably don't need to blip it, but that is my mechanical sympathy for you ____________________ The purpose of life is to fight maturity.

I think Enduroland are doing an event in Fife in May, I will be doing that if all goes well. Should be fun.

I can't wait to see me ride through the puddle successfully only to fall off when I get out. |

Looks like a good ride. I love the footage of Water Lane, especially Jord opting out and Blue showing him how it's done. ____________________ Photos and that |

Good vids, looks a good and muddy run "I'll ride it up for ye".. but those wobbly logs do look a bit devilish. |
