2 wheeled daftness

[Furniss]

tarmac usually more serious but offroad deff more often, although can be quite serious offroad too I guess , i came round a corner on a track and someone had cut a load of tree branches that had fallen across it, but the cut left it sticking into track quite a bit, i came round the right hander and it literally jousted me in the neck ! luckily it was rotten and snapped before it did too much damage

great day out 200kms of tracks - a lot of enduro type stuff - 2 ajp's 1 exc525
bit the french countryside quite hard and the brackets and case for the nav screen didnt survive

I like them - let me know when you get bored of it and I’ll fly out and ride it home!

I tend to keep them for a while, this sort of era is peak bike afaic but you may still want it after I loose the desire to wrestle with it

if you get a random control that you often get here in france they always check for them and its a hefty penalty - easy on the dirtbike mind, even the big one you could do it in winter but its been nothing but dust that its not going to be convincing just now
