Not sure where to post this as there isnt a specific green lane section. http://www.glag.co.uk/ Although this site has been set up by 4x4 enthusiasts its intention is to encourage all grenlane users. Its still in its very early stages yet, but that means now is the time to get involved, come...

Hi everyone. Well a bit of fantastic news. 2 friends of mine and yours are tying the knot on friday 8th February in sunny Las Vegas Nevada. All im gonna say is they got together at the national meet in 2007. So XRV clearly isnt just about bikes. Its about making great friends and in this...

The tickover on my 1997 XR250RT is running slightly high. The strange thing is - if I 'blip' the throttle then it returns to a normal steady tickover speed. If I then pull away and come to a stop - then the tickover is high again and I have to blip the throttle to get it to return to the slow...

When you count your pennies to buy a new bike, wouldnt you rather have a Kawa Versys than a TA? It isnt pretty but it's cheaper, with ABS, more power, better mpg etc etc. And what does Mabel mean in her signature - saying that you dont know how many people you affect till you're dead? I...
