Much fun.

Really want to do some more (but need a bike with decent tyres) but really don't have any money to spend on more bike stuff Sad

If I get a minute I'll write a 'join us' report Smile

Let me know when you go next and I'll drag the 525 up... (will be running again with a couple of weeks now with any luck)

Looks well fun, getting some nice air on those jumps as well. Cool

I need another enduro. Sad

Pah, my dr only had about 1mm of tread left on the grp70/gpr80s it had on. That filled with mud very quickly.

The parts pictured were ok, but others were too muddy.
I came off my dr twice when only very slightly leant over, on a neutral throttle.

Korn did try and take me accross a trail.

I almost crashed just getting on to the path. Made it about 20m down the path, sliding all the way. Managed to stall the bike as I gave up and tried to turn around. Then spent ages kicking the bike, already pretty damn knackered at this point.

The motocross track is in the Chiltern Hills, quite close to Oxford. If jumps and berms aren't your thing there are also plenty of green lanes about and a nifty hillclimb. Would be good to get a few more BCFers coming along, the muddy side could always use new converts Razz

I'm sure there will be some tracks.

You don't need power for off road; korn's xr250 is a 4 stroke, think they make about 22hp as standard!

According to the BCF map Trax in Preston is fairly close to you. They have two full size MX tracks, a freestyle arena and a 3km trail course as well. £20 per day on practice days, number is 01772 731 832 - their website is buggered at the moment...

collar bone got smashed and gave myself a bad concussion, the bone isnt healed and i am still affected by the concussion. taking so damn long to recover. but as soon as im tip top im phoning Terry Rudd, and going on the next offroad day Very Happy

it is a HELL of alot of fun. i just nearly die every time i do it Laughing

I live just out of Blackburn so Preston is not far at all. I'll probably go there in the near future, before the tread on my off-road tyres goes completely flat.

Never actually gone off-road on my bike so would definitely be interesting... and painful Smile

A derestricted 125 2 stroke will make similar power to korn's XR.

However if you can find something like Korn's, or maybe a slightly bigger two stroke; for instance kmx200/220 or similar they would probably be a bit better, more for more midrange than top end.

'Field bikes' can be got for a lot less often.
