Forces of nature?

Did you push it round dude????????

force of nature......depends on your interpretation..deffinately a battle against the forces of nature, either the terrain or weather are/can be a major factor........certainly a really good way to have a days fun, which i'm sure most on here will agree with, in fact the only way possible to cover that sort of milage on that terrain is by m.bike...no need to push with 50BHP at the back wheel...the funniest thing was watching the ramblers and mountain bikers run for cover as we came thundering down the road.......
i heard there's some really good trails just behind your new house...... ...

It looks to me nick as throw all the bikes were just rolled out of the shed next-door, look the state of the bikes not a spec of dirt, even the trailer is clean, what’s going on man. You guys go up there for tea and biscuits, lol

....we did'nt have biscuits.

so you gave the KTM a good shake down today, eh...col?


i've got a new front wheel and a set of pirelli scorpions in the post for tomorrow, so almost ready to go here too...although i still hav'nt tried the bike yet....

"using the trees as berms".when referring to the faster riders...wtf!!!!!...lol

just remember the rules..no splashing, no flicking mud at the other competitors( especially number334). no shoulder barging and stay behind me at all times.........(that way if i get any probs, you can help me)

and it's 3 hours, not 2.5.

yea but i'll only last 2.5, towing you is going to be hard work

god i look slow, but it felt quick at the time......what the hell is that music march 17th is a long way off don't you know..


to be sure

cor blimey mates and you missed a great weekends kitesurfing for that....looked like the trees were going faster than youz...................he he he he

yea but kite surfing is so last year and boring Now!!!

it's does'nt look that slow.. it was slippy out there .........also, that was'nt the fastest part of the track by any means. i was too tired to walk up the hill, so only got a small part of the track on film......

soz about the music......ity's the only one that fitted with the screaming engines.....wildcats of kilkenny by the pogues.

bike is being bolted back together as i type....well, not quite...barrel is back on, new piston fitted..should be ready tomorrow.....that was most expensive lap i've ever done.

AH Hah, I see what you been up to now Col, kitesurfing (which is sooooo last year) shows up your pie eating habits in the wetsuit, but this loose fiiting enduro stylee gives you that Special K look

Must admit you didn't look well in that vid, was you a bit WOr ReD (cr@££ing it more like).
