An old leather jacket turned out to be an Akito when when it turned up and allthough it's a tiny bit big it's great, and a pair of Axo supermotard boots. Hardly used (if at all) will need breaking in. Absolutley stonking as they were less than half what I would have had to pay for new ones.

I am hopefully off to a supermotard school next month from work!!!

:D

I really would love a trail bike. The chap I am of to the SM school with, he owns a trailie and a harley. The trailie has two sets of wheels for. One 17" set with SM tryes on and the normal trailie wheels for off roading.

It just looks tops. If we weren't in the process of buying a house I would be saving up to get myself one for fun and for winter riding.

The local bike shop gets them in quite frequently but they are at least £1500 and I just don't have that kind of cash.

I have a spare kidney.....

Trailies do hold there money im afraid, supermoto has also helped that which suits me obviously :D
You'd love it though mate. I get home to parents then me and me brother have a bloody good day out. Leave early in the morning, head off towards say Dyfi forest the probably head off towards Elan Valley, then up over Cwmystwyth, Devils Bridge etc then down to Aber. Basically we make a full day it going all over. hafren forest usually gets a look in to. :D

It sounds great Rob. When I eventually get one (Oh yes... One will be mine) I will join you for sure.

Where we are moving to it will actually be more handy than my bandit as it's all twisty lanes and such like. The bandit will stay but I am sure it'll have a younger roudier brother in the shed.

Do you stay locally when you come over? How often do you get across, next time you are in the area give me a yell and we can meet up. I have something for you anyway.

My parents, brother etc live round the Welshpool, Newtown area which is where i grew up. Was back yesterday as it happens but it was just a visit to see parents. I usually get back every couple of weeks because even after 15 years i still get homesick. Hopefully be over a week next Friday as it happens and we'll be out menacing anyone on bikes cause trailies are also grea for blasting underneath people on corners etc. Especially when yer both on TTR600's with Ohlins suspension, Paoli forks blah blah blah :D

We get the keys to our noew house next Friday so we will be a bit busy that weekend.

If you are over frequently we will meet up soon though.

Tried moving away... Couldn't do it. Lasted not quite two years, before we had to get back.
