What Green Lane Bike Would You Suggest?

Meet my old Yam Serow 225, so used and abused but a delight to ride.

 

aye? what about the bike?

 

is that you on the bike?

 

port pie boy

 

yip, he wants cut down on em. get some exercise.
so, when do you want to pick up the DR? i'm looking at a CRF as I want to get a lil more involved in track and enduro

 

this is mine..low ride height so easy to get yer feet down..If you get one don't forget to put the rain sock on the air cleaner as it keeps out fish and frogs and stuff..

 

yes i was carrying a little excess last year, was about 17 1/2 stone dropped a couple of stone now still overweight though. Gone tea total and stopped smoking has helped.

 

Anything with a electric start button as kick starts can be a right pain in the backside when they have sulk on.I've a 1974 XL250 motorsport which is great when working but is a kicker so good boots required.
Had access serveral times on a CRF250L which did the job very nicely indeed.

 

Yeah the stockman is the non road legal version used on the farms the sherpa is electric start

 

98 dr250's have electric start

 

i agree we use the WR250....great bike, the 400 is too much. The honda road cr is a lookalikey and crap! If you get the proper alloy framed Honda thats great but not road legal and its service intervals are quite regular!

 

Ttr 250

 

ive stopped drinking six weeks now and cant stop eating!!
id definitely need a quad if i was to go off road...

 

Best sort that out Chiz, otherwise you will be touring in a Hum Vee!

 

still to stop smoking yet, wtf will that do to me waist line? im gunna think about it over a magnum white...

 

Dude, you are going to have your own gravity field ...

 

apart from the obvious health issues, i was spending money which was needed in the home rather than the pub, just needed wising up.

 

get yerself to the chemist here in Wales you can receive help with Patches, inhalers, gum, and spray FOC providing you attend once a week and take a carbon monoxide blow test as proof of non smoking. Patches are magic, no craving whatsoever but if you leave them for the 24 hr period they can produce some very unusual dreams (nice).

 

I would always recommend joining a club. Never done an enduro race but they definitely look fun, long, tiring and muddy.
Green laning is probably a bit more tame, depending on the lane of course.
As for the bikes, I'm fairly sure it's a mixed bag of 2 strokes and 4 strokes. The fuel injection 2 strokes look great but your budget won't go to that level.

 

its nice to have stuff....
