Its been a while since I dug the YZ125 out, decided to go to Golding Barn today (090909) as I hadn't been before (and Tonymoto was closed Rolling Eyes).

I had hoped after the green laning I had been doing, my offroad prowess would have improved considerably ... sadly - really struggled - and one of the slowest out there still - so clearly not!! Embarassed Laughing

Oh and I got shouted at again!! Embarassed

Anyhoo, here is some onboard/helmet cam video from the day - enjoy! Smile

Oh and for anyone that was thinking of going, I can recommend it - the chap that runs it was very friendly/good!! Thumbs Up

Tends to happen with me!! Laughing

On this occasion, I don't think it was the guy being a tw4t ... I think he was simply 'beeping his horn' (so to speak) to avoid an incident.

I can only think he was going up my inside at that point, he had already committed to the move, but I moved over on my line and would have collided.

I had no idea he was there - its my line - he should have accounted for me coming over - his mistake ... but a simple shout (verbal beep) avoided an incident. i.e. I heard him shout put 2 and 2 together and then left a bit more room assuming someone was half way up my inside. An incident was avoided, so its all fine by me!! Smile

Looks like good fun, and a pretty no bad track. The track literally two minutes from my house is ok, a bit small, plus I don't have a wee light bike to go with but I would like to try a MX track at some point.

I don't know, but I wouldn't worry about what's behind me, if someone tries something funny from behind (ooh er) then it's his problem and responsibility to keep things contact free, it's not even competitive.. clip him around the ear next time Wink

I don't care what is behind me ... to my mind it was HIS error that caused the situation, but at the end of the day a quick BEEP avoided any proper incident ... so I am not fussed ... well actually I am pleased as I'd have been a bit p1ssed off had he taken me out where he tried to go up the inside where there was no room!! Razz

I am more gutted that I was only just about quick enough to stay with some burd dressed in pink!! Shocked Embarassed

na, the worst nightmare is to get tranced by one!! Very Happy

To be honest, it was good to have someone of the sort of pace I could follow round. There were about 4 of us that were the same sort of pace, the rest were WAY quicker!! Embarassed
