    A ride in the country!

    Well I am TEXless but still riding and I had a great day at the office at the Sweet Lamb complex in Wales yesterday. We are looking at setting up a CCM riding experience where people get the chance to try one of our super lightweight adventure bikes in all kinds of terrain. We were on the stock Heidenau K60's on very very loose rough trails at up to 60mph over the tops of the mountains and through river crossings. One of the most memorable days on a bike  :001:

    Wondered if this was going to be safe to open at work!!!!  :745:

    Looks fantastic. I've been down there testing with a rally car and always thought it would be great on a bike.
    Needing guinea pigs to try out your plans?????  :084:

    Why on earth would you bother with a lumbering old Tex when you have lovely toys like that to play with.

    I had to pinch myself! We stayed in Llanidloes on Thursday night in a nice hotel and had a nice meal and a few pints with great company including Nathan Millward, James from MCN, Mario from the TRF and  Peter from the Riders Digest.
    Following a great Welsh brekky we set off for the huge wilderness complex of Sweet Lamb and following a briefing spent the morning doing fundamental training which we put into practice in the afternoon. It was amazing how just a few basic pointers improved all of our riding to a great extent.
    As a lifelong follower of rallying, to see the barn's wall signed by some of the world's greatest drivers was a real privilege.
    The guys from Adventure Bike TV were there too sh we should have some video footage soon.
    By the way, the GP450RS is feature this month here -
