Well done to the three CRM'S that took part in the Ryedale Rally, ( at least I think I saw three), I didn't get an entry in quick enough this year and so had to make do with marshalling the weekend ( I was on the early gates near the farm on day 1 with the red stripe AR ) tried to nod and say hello ...

Well Done Tony !!, Having done the last couple of Ryedale's ( couldnt get in this year though !!) Tony that is brilliant riding, having comfortably finished in the top ten in the class its not easy and believe me Tony rides at full tilt, how you do it fella i dont know the first year you got knocked...

Hi Jonny, Goon news you will love the bike, and N Yorks is a pretty good place to be to get out and straight off the lanes, i recommend the TRF, as they can get you good maps as to what is legal and what is not, which will keep you out of trouble !!. The Ryedale Rally is a great event in July, usual...

Well done Tony ( again ) When you dropped it in the 2nd day special test, why didnt you push it home and give us all a chance lol. For anyone looking and considering entering, these CRM's are perfect for this sort of going, Tony rides his awesome , but, even down in 9th Trail class the CRM's are sti...

Bloody hell you got back home quick !!, Credit where due today it takes some bottle to just laze back and open the throttle ( if you can see where the bloody hell your going !!), that was hard work this weekend , and i am sure you will win your class with ease ( thats the Persil class for the cleane...

Hi Tony, Yeah a couple of CRM's Scarborough, ( Mk 3 & AR )only just got in though at last minute due to some late cancellations, i have your Northumberland sheep to thank for the entry though as we were up with the TRF weekend two weeks ago, riding with this fella from down South who presumably didn...

You looked well chilled outat the finish, we thouhjt you'd got home early, either in a bad way or better still in a good positive way !!. Looks as though you had the "bit between yer teeth" although that other guy on another CRM ( Bolton area) was motoring pretty well on the special sections on day ...

Do you want me to put a target on my back , or just trail a scent for you to chase, probably see you briefly about 3 mins into the specials then !!!lol

Yep, the two on the same time as you are me Rob Smith and Rog Symonds, the other guy i dont know , but we'l meet him anyway. Let me know if you are struggling with anything on the day as between Rog & I we have a few spares, wheels/ plugs/etc, and garage space if any work needs adjusting, its a pain...

Hi Tony, Yeah there are a couple of us from Scarborough in for it, same as last year, both on the CRMs ( one Mk 3 & me on the AR ). Looking forward to it its been really dry down here though, which is a shame as i like a bit of mud , but i should be carefull what i ask for, was going to enter the vi...

I meant to say the event isnt too competitive !!!, the CRM's are fine, what i was trying to suggest is nobody is too bothered about winning and i think last years winner in the trail class admitted he swopped bikes anyway on the 2nd day, so its not angsty and win at all costs, hey i am trying to enc...

Ooops, so i didnt mean to shout by using capital letters !!!, and the site is NEEC for the Ryedale Rally, the moral of the story is always to check before submitting !

Anyone fancying a rally event based over 2 days up in N Yorks, early July., it comes really recommended and there are usually a few CRMs, not too competitive ( limit of 2 stroke KTM 's etc to max 30 entries ) and there are some lovely big bikes and this year more classic enduro bikes. If you are loo...

Hi Shaun, Nice bike, i ve got an AR 97 but the red /black/white one, you would think you have died and gone to heaven if you can get in and enter and compete in the ryedale rally , its a brilliant two day ride loads of mileage, and a real good laugh, just a few timed sections , the rest just open ro...

Hi Greg,

You mention powdercoating and a good fella with the right price, can you give me his details, thinking of having the crm wheels done, and the trials bike needs some work, would be appreciated.
Cheers Rob Smith
