Yea mud, and the actual flag positions. Sometimes it’s about forcing a particular line which is nigh on impossible after someone else has chewed up a hole in the hill.

Ha… considering the shopping list a friend went through with a mid-00’s TXT Pro trials bike… maybe it’s the Gas Gas I’m avoiding more than the 2T!

4RT/4Ride has different gearing yea. 4RT is better range they say.

Apparently 4T trials bikes ride different to 2T, more difficult because none of the smoker overrun avoiding a stall.

Well, the LDT run locally has a rep for difficulty!

I have the Sherco ST300 with the bigger tank/seat yea. I used it the other day and felt awful range anxiety. Felt like it just didn’t suit trails to get to a section to practice (the idea behind buying the seat unit).

The DR350 is my trail bike, but it’s a bit heavy.

Someone but a 4RT engine into a 4Ride but they want more than £3.2k. For that I could buy an enduro.

Pampera was on the list, but I had some reluctance toward it for some reason. Can’t remember why.

Edit: ah yea because 2T. The Pampera I’d be worried for all the parts issues and that it is likely ragged.

They’d take £2k and it is minty and 8k miles. Struggling to find a better LDT option for similar money in that condition.

People want £2-2.5k for old TLR200’s, and I can’t find any 4RT’s for less than £3k.

Serrow, XT etc all good options but similarly thin. DR250 would be too close to the 350 in weight, I think.

Viewed it and it’s minty. Like, actually mint. Sorely tempted but not sure it’s worth it vs £2k for an actual enduro.

Please don’t start a forum list here.

Lawn has really come along. Shame it will get destroyed by this monster.

Bargain if genuine:

Everyone is congratulating you, and I don’t want to be left out. Hope it all went to plan!

Agreed. My plastic wraparound guards snapped (again) because they don’t sit at the best angle when mounted. The corner is under tension so splits on impact. Happened twice in a row with some kinda UFO or similar brand. The ancient Acerbis never did, and they looked identical.

The main reason (apart from fitting issues) I kept wraparounds was they are a useful place to grab onto when lifting out of ruts.

I should just put some grab straps on the DR but lifting that bike risks a hernia.

For sure. The poor DR350 has suffered so many of those moments.

Rider aids? Has a grab rail I guess…

Someone is selling a Honda SL230 locally. Shame it’s not quite an LDT bike. I guess if I stripped all the road stuff it could get a bit lighter but probably never have the grunt that a proper enduro gearing would have.

Exactly. Race ready isn’t genpop. Can’t-afford-to-drop-it is genpop.

Left this in the van a week or so ago and forgot about it. Found it today and put it on… then forgot I was wearing it. Perfect.

Fiiiiiiiinally tidied the garage enough to see where my bikes were. First time in months (many months) that I took this out. Had a proper rev along a green lane to find a spot to practice a few drills then back again. Trying to burn the old fuel.

That Kove is really rated but I don’t know of one locally yet.

Like @lynx said. Definitely how to make it cheaper.

I guess it needs to be a direct price competitor to the CRF300L, or else who is buying it?

I thought KTM were already in financial trouble.

Have you checked it’s warm enough? You should use a hairdryer to get the material warm and flexy to get it into position. A strong staplegun needs short short staples or you’ll punch through on the sides.

Agreed but I guess they said “shove the R&D, just make a 25yo design emissions-legal”.

What are people betting on, the price of OG DRZ’s going up, or down?

Observing very differing triptychs.

Now I know it's mini, I want one.

Just to follow up on my post yesterday. After days of good behaviour was a little shit all afternoon at home (but never outside).

Today I took the long line with me to give him the chance to run.

Did he? No.

He just wandered around near me wondering why I wasn’t 2.5m from his neck.
