I'm looking at WR250s for the purposes of green laning - what are your opinions as a good first laner?

*edit* wow, autocorrect really did a number on me there!

Funnily enough we're going tomorrow! I'll let you know how we get on...

Going on ktm 250 exc-f's

Say whaaaaaaaat.

Where was my invite? :P

This is what gopros were invented for!

Didn't think you'd be interested what with your new toy!!!

(How much sleep have you missed now?)

And yes, gopro will be used!

How much sleep have I missed?

Answer: All of it.

T minus 11 hours and counting until we launch ourselves at the most thoroughly soaked countryside on record.

No fear, not even a little bit.

Lucky f*cks

How much was it?

185

man,

i hurt. and i didn't even fall off nearly as much as the others.

fun though!!!

90 odd miles of green lanes from verwood to salisbury plain and back.


and a billion gallons of water.

by 'the others' I think you mean 'Neil'


Twas fun, and it's something that I can tick off on my list of things to do, and may even do it again.

250s are fine for most stuff, very good for technical rides but can be a bit annoying if you have long road sections.

I have a KTM 450 exc for Greenlaning as round my way there's a good bit of road work and long flat lanes. Nothing technical.

Also have a 250exc for race/practice days and technical stuff.

If you round Essex way can come for a ride. Also do Wales trips and practice/race days too. Dawn till dusk lined up for this year too!

Didn't want to name names, but yes, Neil, you.

Am I allowed to site this as something that I'm better at then you? (For the time being, at least)

Of course you are, Dom too....I can't be great at everything

Once you conquer ruts you will be unstoppable, you breezed up all the technical stuff.

Even the instructors were saying it was tough out there today, but would have been worse if it was raining.

The arse of Illoir once again shines upon the righteous.

Try riding desert dunes - that is an education!!!

Glad you had a good day!
