Isle of Man

Just back from a great weekends trail riding in the IoM. If you haven't been trail riding over there, then you should....its fantastic, the trails are clearly marked with signs of bikes, so everyone and anyone knows that bikes could be on the track, and there's loads of them.

I managed a lap of the TT course too, and have to put claim to a lap record:

Time: 55.55 minutes,
Avge Speed 40mph
Top Speed: 76mph

So, for a fat bloke, on a 1992 MK2 with 48k on the clock, on knobblies, in full trail riding gear...thats has to be a record...doesn't it

How about this?

[knackeredMk1]

No you have to select the photos individually.

Try placing the cursor over the photo you want to copy on the main Photobucket view where you have many photos in miniture. After a few seconds with the cursor still a menu list will pop down. Left click on the box to the right of the bottom option 'IMG Code'. This will copy all the information. You then use the Paste facility in the text of the post you are making.

That looks amazing I would love to go how did the klx 250 get on I think the new ones look a bit 2 soft for those kinda lanes

[rich1960]

The KLX manages OK, I ride with him most of the time, he's a steady rider and it 'works for him' if you get my drift. I've had a ride on his bike and to me (after the CRM) it seems gutless, he had a ride on my CRM and was completely blown away, so much so, if the right one came up at the right price he'd probably sell the (2 year old) KLX for a (10-15 year old) CRM.

I believe the main issue withthe KLX is the restrictive 'cat', but with an after market 'can' and a bit of wire swapping I understand they come to life.

I'll keep me CRM thank you very much.

And for what its worth, his TT lap was 2 minutes slower than mine with a max speed of 60mph
