Motorcyclists have an distinct taste for loud machines and speed. That definitely doesn't help with acceptance on the backdrop of the calm of a forest or mountain trail. I have contrasting memories in France of enduring an hour of 2 stroke engine on a picnic in the middle of nowhere, and 2...
Really good article, nice read. My recollection from going there on a rainy day with colleagues a few years ago as a complete MTB newbie was how incredibly tiring the descent were, how impossible it seemed to ride a full suspension bike all the way up that hill (we used the uplift) and how that...
If what's left in the bottle is still liquid, surely what's in the tyre is the same? No?seriously, need to check this weekend, but last time I tried,I couldn't make the tyre budge off the rim....

On my last outing I got the impression the motor was a bit noisier than it used to. Anyone getting the same impression?
Not a lot of playgrounds for this kind of toy in the UK ! I like it though, made me smile. But at the sort of price they mentioned, I'd try to get a Sur-Ron Firefly
