Track days are finished

[Kwacky]

Off roading is where it's at.

What a fantastic day.

Full report, photos and videos when I get back home.

I've been thinking this a lot recently. Even tempted to think about buying a secondhand offroad bike.

I tell you what, we've had an ace day on off-roaders.. Knackered bruised and happy

Kwacky has the photos and videos to prove it, looking forward to reviewing and posting about it.

That's a relief, thought this was going to be a Focused Events or similar lose insurance cover or something thread.

Off roading rocks!

Absolutely! I did trail riding (as we call it here) solidly for about 6 yrs, had 4 different different bikes over that time. I'd love to have another one.

But if I had to choose between off-road and track days, I'd pick track days.

Looking forward to having a little nosy through your pics and vids Kwacky

I've been thinking this a lot recently. Even tempted to think about buying a secondhand offroad bike.

I've considered that myself a couple of times. Seems like a more enjoyable way to bike when the weather's poor.

Still waiting for pics...

[Kwacky]

I need to get home to upload them. I'm still in France and Cookie's on metered internet.

I'm home tonight.

Safe flight Kwacky

Off roading is fun, must admit I am tempted to get an enduro, not a full on MX bike, but a road legal one for green lanes, enduro suff... all triggered by my recent blast around on that off road day...ha ha

[C00kiemonster]

It was a lot of fun. It's made me reevaluate what bikes I want and whether to buy a new one or a couple of off-roaders

I need to understand offroad bikes more first. They take one hell of a pounding!

[Kwacky]

You don't want them too light. We were told the light bikes squirm around too much.

Those 250s were spot on, in my very limited experience.

[kiwikrasher]

You don't want them to heavy either Kwacky cause you get knackered even quicker, but those YZ250F (I guessing that's what they are) are a class bike and plenty of go for a 250. The bigger brother YZ450F/WR450 are a bloody weapon, and would be my pick if I got another one. My last bike was a Husaberg XC400 (FE400 in Europe I think) total animal but it blew the top end within a few months and I sold the frame to buy a decent mountain bike.
