just looking at past postings......can you still ride on the pass??
Are the areas for riding easy to find, I was thinking of riding down there and having a look.

The quarry is still fair game, but in winter once everyone buggers off we used to enjoy the tops.
where abouts are you ?

Hi we went in that area a month ago and there was a notice at the bottom of the hill saying it was out of bounds we used to go there a lot and it must have stopped coz no tyre maks around.

what the VJ23 ? gave quite a bit for it, but i still tore the top ends down just to be sure, so new top ends, and it was allready fully derestricted, in that spec they sell now for over £2800 and it owes me alot more than that.
Not cheap but they are the best / lightest RGV, and certainly trick too being the SP, comes with dry clutch, and fully adj suspention and elec start !!!

nice bike, i used to have a reverse cylinder TZR250 (underseat exhausts - now where have i seen them now :lol: ) years ago and loved it to bits, can`t beat the thrill of a 2 stroke.

I was tempted by a rs250 aprillia when i bought my crm but the call of the off road was too much :twisted:
