    Taking the AT motocrossing!

    In Lyne not far from there is a motocross track where I used to ride on Saturdays until I was about 15.

    I plan on taking the AT there when it dries out a bit!

    I'm just wondering what parts will need checking and maybe replacing after such heavy use - and also if the AT is definitely up to it.

    I was considering taking the fairing panels off for the duration...but would this leave everything underneath too exposed? I don't know how much protection the fairing actually gives to whatever is behind it.
