Re: Specialone pop's his 'laning cherry!
 

Cheers Rob, Hopefully i'll get better at it, but until 2 days ago i hadnt rode a dirt bike in something like 18 years so i think i didnt do too bad.
Need to adjust clutch / cable as it has hardly any travel, so difficult to control bike on the clutch, something vital i think when green laning.

Found this today, a ford which is still used by farmers and tractors.
I used to go paddling here as a kid along with hundreds of others in the summer months.
I might have attempt it on the DRZ once ralph has gone through and found a good path ;)
Its not that deep tbh, most places less than 8 inch deep.

Yes detective john icanopit, you got it right again ;)
You're getting good at this :)
Yes, packington, seems more water there than i remember, went there last about 20 years ago.
Deserted tbh so didnt want to attempt a ride through the water just in case i fell off and no one around to help (thats my excuse anyway)

Hav'nt been there for over 30yrs, have kept away since we were threatened by the police and the Estate for practicing in the river and up the banks, mind you 3 semi-pro trials riders 3/4 days a week I suppose was unacceptable.
Hence the reason for my "Poirot" ability, did'nt miss much pratice grounds in those days.

Re: Specialone pop's his 'laning cherry!
 

Looks like someones getting the bug for a bit of dirt...

I'm looking forward to the dry weather so that the quarry isnt so slippy :)

Re: Specialone pop's his 'laning cherry!
 

I'll go through, but it'll need to be on your bike! ;)

Mine doesn't like water at the mo, need to make a rubber cap for the plug and get some silicone goop in there, and I need to either T off or re-route the carb breathers.

this thread needs deleting your making me jealous that i dont have a motocross bike and wont be riding one for a while.

Re: Specialone pop's his 'laning cherry!
 

I might just re-route mine.
Next time your over this way i'll show you this ford, see what you think, tbh i dont think it will come up to the wheel nuts in most places less than that.
I have some marine grease you can use but its white.
