    Not yet. STill waiting to hear what the guy at Kielder has to say to my last email. I am guessing they are not that keen.

    On the speed thing, yes I know. If I were them I would be a bit reticent too. But, they do it for 4x4 so don't see what the difference is really.

    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.

    If that's an average then all the stops to pick up the zebra from on top of me should make the 15mph target fine

    I was with the first TRF ride last year. The planning took over ten years I was told. We were given the rules about speed and all going in the same direction at the beginning of the ride.

    All was well until one chap turned around and headed back the way he came - result, a head-on, high speed collision with a rider coming the other way.

    Air ambulance, ambulance, police and doctor all at the scene. This sort of thing will make the Forestry Commission hesitant.

    It doesn't help the cause mentioning how fast one can go on the forest trails.

    Thats the details I was thinking of! thanks

    Mods (and no offence to the man above - but for the sake of the amount of search engine hits this forum gets and standing a chance of hosting anything) it might be an idea to tweak that post!
