Having borrowed a CRF250X for the last rideout, I was :BB to be back on the CRM last Saturday!

So much better to ride!

We did a nice loop of a mountain, bit boring to watch but superb to ride!

Cool 8-)

That first gate looked a bit weird, like a garden gate.

Is your mate on a xr400?

:roll: Where is this mountain by the way? Is it Wales?

I really need to get my ass in gear and get out like you guys.

One thing which puts me off, because of my inabilities, is coming off and doing meself in :roll: :lol: Sometimes even a little fall can result in a broken wrist, which means lots of unpaid time off work for me.

Need to look at off road motorcycle accident insurance shiz, but is it all a con? :? Ive heard you sometimes have to wait a few months to get paid, and when you do they dont back date it. The wife woulda killed me by then!!

Yes, it's a bit narrow! Typical Welsh hillsides.

My friend is on an XR400, good little plodder (when he can start it!).

There are levels of personal injury cover you can get, I have a policy for racing which pays me for breaks, hospital stays etc. There are some that pay you for time off work but guessing they are quite expensive.

I only pootle on the lanes, got the Manx coming up in August so don't want to risk breaking something & wasting my entry! :oops:
