Enduroland 'Endurofest' - 26th/27th September

[G]

I'm going to try and get along to one day of this at least, so that I can test/break my 690 and myself, before heading off the following week to Europe on it .

Anyone else?
It's their 'usual' venue at Adstone. They claim you need book (don't pay 'till the day I think) tickets early.

KTM will have big tank and probably various other questionable touring things on it including semi-road knobblies, so I don't expect to be going very fast (that and I haven't ridden off-road for ages ).

Im literally about 2 weeks from finishing the kdx but i dont think it will be done in time

This looks really good and I really enjoyed Enduroland last time. Considering going for the weekend and camping though...

I'm not sure I want to put my back through two days of getting knackered, though could be up for some trail riding one day or something. However, if I've got all my shit together, would definitely be up for camping to give it a quick trial-run. Of course, more likely I'll be panicing and not ready at all, with the bike in bits .

I may come and take pics and stuff .... if I go, then will take the van if anyone needs stuff /kit transported up.

I don't suppose any rental/test bikes are likely to be about? Can't see anything on the site so I presume not.

You're welcome to have a play on the 690, but I'd definitely prefer it didn't get too broken and it may not be ideal (will be on ATC80s or similar, have a long range tank and pannier brackets, etc.)

Unfortunately the 200 is out of action needing a new exhaust and a few other bits.
There may or may not be my CRM125 floating about.

The trial* bikes etc they had before you still got fairly limited time. Had to pay to for your time on KTMs - which was with Ady Smith, so might be worth giving them a call.
*Trial as in for you to test, not to do trials on .

Cheers for the offer G, I'd hate to do any damage to your 690 though so wouldn't want to risk taking it out on a proper enduro track where I'm liable to have the odd spill.

It sounds like a pretty good event so I might come along if only for a bit of a nose round and the possibility of blagging a quick go on some demo bikes. I'm dying to do some muddy stuff on a proper light dirt bike atm, the 950's given me the bug.

Dom, I've got a GasGas EC300 which you are more than welcome to have a go on.

Normally I'd be quite happy for people to abuse my bikes appropriately - however in this case I'll be taking the bike on a two week tour of Europe five days later, so unfortunately need to be a bit more cautious than usual.
