Only myself and Ian tonight ..just like the old days ..a tad wet & windy ..but hell it was mild 16c..2.25 hours of night time fun ..& a pint in the Cheviot afterwards where we poured over maps of the Scottish Highlands and I got up to speed with Ian , Russell & Rob's recent trip...sounded fantastic and why we keep returning year after year .. A few pics ...did I mention it was a tad moist...    Roll on the next one ! |

Looks like you had a great time hodgy, though your photos have reminded me to get the sealskin socks out again!!!!

I was thankful of mine last night...but although it was spitting rain on and off throughout the ride my jacket was just overkill as I was cooking inside it ...
It felt like a southern USA swamp ride at times ..I'm sure I spotted a 'gator!

At first glance it does appear that way Glynn ..but believe it or not it's a good surface underneath !
Obviously that picture was taken for effect but it's only a short section ..and even when it's wet and muddy it's great fun and a good way to hone your speedway stylee sideway skills ( lol )
Already looking forward to the next one..that's 3 night rides now and Colin has suggested the next one for either next week or the week after over Rothbury ..made famous by Raoul Moat ..but a beautiful part of the country..

Makes mine look a bit too clean. You put that through its paces.

It's pristine again now ..and I still haven't tamed the beast ..still way faster than I am and probably ever will be ...
It's only Gaz (windysurfer ) that doesn't clean his T130..haha !

I certainly will be nowhere near the level of it but enjoying it is what it's about. You certainly look like you are

Looking at that image it makes me want to get that OneUp 45T / 18T sprocket set since i think it would fit.
If you have a medium cage mech...46T sprocket...32T N/W chainring...112 chain links...technically mine would be even easier with a smaller diameter on the top sprocket...decisions decisions.
