Re: The MTB thread
Nope.
I'm looking at a superb piece of British engineering, designed with British trails in mind as I can ride further and more technical trails than just the dog at cannock... |

Re: The MTB thread
In truth, I'm just not enjoying motorbikes much anymore.
I had more of a laugh on Saturday with the guys here on mountain bikes than I've ever had on a rideout on the road bike. The ktm isn't being used so have decided to bin it. Bike, kit spare wheels, the lot. Frees up space in my shed for other toys. Ive just got back into mountain biking like I used to be. The bike I was riding on Saturday was far from over engineered and bling. Very capable and understated and the right tool for the job. If the triumph doesn't get more than 2k on it this year, that will be going too. No point in having it if it's not being used and your heart isn't in it. |

Maybe 10 years ago but im never gonna be fit enough now or have the time for it to get most out of it and like i said it will never replace engine power for me, i ride one of my bikes at least every weekend. But i do think some of this mtb lark, people enjoy tinkering and blinging their bikes up more than they do the riding lol |
