Howzeeeet Welsh..... No bike on a biker forum kinda gets u down mate, so i been scarce. But im welling up to take the plunge and get on the credit band wagon here in the UK  :P As there is a Triumph shop down the road it seems the logical step, started doing some research..... Glad to see...

With the little off road ill be doing this side of the country im not sure if the XC is for me. The straight 800 is much cheaper here in the UK.  But i do need the seat  height. So i was looking at these rear suspension raisers, https://www.lustracing.co.uk/suspension/triumph-jack-up-kits.html...

Just seen this now, great post  :thumleft: Fantastic photography guys, well done.

Yep, something that good looking, i knew it wouldnt take long before it popped up on the market. That luggage rack is primarily for DirtBags, custom built by Groenie, and its tough as nails. (PC)2E, that bike has a very sad history and unfortunately any potential buyer should be made aware of...

I done it 4 times on ma x-chal from George - 1198km to my house. Your sitting on Beyonce's ass i was on Kylie's...  :ricky: took 12 hours avg. Do it.... you wont know what its like till u try.

Elo Gents What are the rear suspension options with the XR650R ? I need more height. I looked at one the other day and its way too low. What after market parts are the norm for a bit of lift. Thanks

Check https://www.aplan.co.uk/ for insurance. As far as i was told, its day to day insurance and you can use your SA license. Im sure there are more.

Thanks

Looking at 2000 - 2002 model motards  :o  yeah its 90% tar here lads, with a once a year trip into Europe looking for dirt. Question - is it just a simple case of swapping out  rims and tyres to go dirt ridding or do you have to do brake changes ? Anything else that might have to be changed ...

Pffft, petrol costs..... whats it gonna cost you guys for a litre of clean drinking water in a year ?

Ive only started research on the dirt track riding in Scotland, and its pretty shit, kinda like the weather  :deal: Most of what i can find is forestry roads controlled by the gubberment and private estates. I assume you might be able to get permits and permission, but i havent gone that far...

:imaposer: i could get a better tan from a light bulb  :D Hopes are on https://www.fransverhoeven.com/ after  David Fretigne bought a plot at a rally last month.
