I heard some bikes on the plain and wondered who it might be, probably you! If I can find a bike, I'll join you.

I'm in Larkhill for the next 3 years, so even after the winter. Being so close to the plain is good also as I can get pure off road tyres without having to ride for miles on the road to get places.

I've done similar terrain on those tyres, but on a fair bit lighter bike.
Probably did crash; but then you are SUPPOSED to crash when riding off road Smile

I do try not to crash at all times.

I'm trying to get a set of wheels at less than silly money so I can put more suitable tyres on for going over the plain.
It would definately be better, lighter but the XR250 just didn't feel right for me.

I've got some air on the transalp but it's not nice.

This here where the green arrow is, is where we stopped for lunch, not far at all from the tank area.

What "didn't feel right" about the XR?
Have you ridden much off road before?

I did find 'proper' dirt bikes took some getting used to; but an XR250 with dirt tyres (if you've still got it) is ideal for Salisbury plain, I would say.

Not for a long time, it was mainly on things like rm250 and similar animals.

I had a good day, Marmalde is kind not to mention the lack of true dirty ness in todays pics was due to it being my first mud ( except for a little school boy off roading nearly 30 years ago ) and being a bit more reluctant than most to get wet as it would probably mean returning my Prosthesis for some water damage repairs, not to mention a 100 mile ride home in the wet in December.
I was impressed how well the Alp copes with road tyres off road which may increase by adventureness next time, the only thing that topped this was Marmaldes ability to dig out a field kitchen outta his panniers.
