    Evening All

    Hi everyone,

    Just joined what looks to be a great forum. I purchased an XR400 yesterday and I am looking into green laneing around the Braintree & North Essex area. Used to ride trials as a youngster so I have some off road experience but thats about it for the muddy stuff. I also ride a Ducati Multi 1000DS and recently toured France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. It would be good to hear from anyone around the Braintree area that may be able to show me some of the local lanes?

    Wilson.

    Welcome to the best forum on the web.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Hello Wilson

    As you can see here, it is not uncommon for threads to go completely off-topic. But we try our best to keep the guys in check.

    Keep takin' your medication, do as Matron says and you'll fit right in.

    Come on guys, three replies and no requests for pictures yet. Yer, slippin'.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Hello Wilson, Only just joined here myself. I'm based in Leigh-on-Sea, but have ventured to your part of Essex - more lanes than down here

    All the best,

    Dave J

    Hi Wilson,

    I go on some lanes near Braintree - so next time i'm down that way, i'll try to remember and give you a shout - some of them do get VERY muddy and churned up this time of year by 4x4's so expect to get dirty and wet

    Look out for the rides in Thetford (about an hour and 20 from Braintree) as well - should be a fairly regular meet now i hope - as long as we dont all seriously damage ourselves or our bikes in the meantime
