  1. You are right about the 250 and 400 sharing the same chassis and the 125 and 175. From what I remember the DT175 MX was much better off road than the TS185 but the Suzuki was the better road bike. I rode a long distance trial in 1982 on my brand new TS250ER , I was still running it in at the time. My mate was gutted as I beat him on his DT175MX, he lost nearly twice as many points as me
  2. I couldn't possible reference what your chicken will be like as I've never actually eaten in a Nandos in my life
  3. Cheers I’m surprised they haven’t banned this stuff
  4. +1 , I walked out of the door at school and forgot all that . Don't get me started on algebra, who the f*ck uses that ?
  5. What did you have to give him ......................

  7. I totally agree, I like the look of old bikes and then I punch myself in the face to remind me what they were like
  8. My apologies @Pedro , I turned intothe antithesis of @XTreme for 5 minutes
  9. If it's the same family I met they're from Wolverhampton, I think the guys name is Eddie ? He's got a Kawasaki VN1500, I sent him a workshop manual after our visit.
  10. Yes, I wouldn't mind doing that as I camped there last May for a couple of nights
  11. That's for a guided tour , I was happy to pay nothing and just roam around
  12. My mate had the DT250 , it wasn't as good as the 175. I had a XT500 enduro , it was a heavy lump, great engine but not great 6v electrics . Worth crazy money now .
  13. Depending on what I hear about this year I may give it another go next year .
  14. Some info .................. Suitably impressed I rode on through Pewsey Vale to get a gander at the White horse ................ and rode some more trails around Avebury but not this one, the ruts were about 2 foot deep in places and I only have 3mm tread left on my tyres On the way home I checked on the lane with the fly-tipping from last week, top marks to Wiltshire CC as they had cleared it up and then a short stop by the duck pond in Biddestone to have a coffee on the way home ............
  15. So what do you do if you have a bit of spare land, you have an interest in past times and you live in a part of the country full of neolithic monuments ? You build your own Long Barrow of course That's what some bloke did near All Cannings in Wiltshire so today I went to have a look at it , I rode across the top of Rounway Hill to get there............. and along the byway that crosses the Kennet & Avon canal to get to it .............. And I wasn't disapointed , what an amazing feat of engineering. But what's more impressive is the fact that dudes did this with basically their bare ahnds and rudimentary tools over 5000 years ago There's a locked gate to stop you from going inside but you can arrange to get access for £30 if that's your thing. I made do with poking my nose through the gate ............ and then I clambered ontop to get a view from above ..............
  16. Suzuki have lost the plot in recent years , a nice yellow ain't going to sell a bike whenb the competitor has more power and is lighter .
  17. None of the Honda's, they were all shit in that era, can't decide between TS250C or the DT175MX
  18. Ummmmmmmmmmmmm @Six30 , you really need some new glasses ........
  19. Nah, I'm doing a bunkhouse meet in Much Wenlock next week instead, what about you ?
  20. You have good reason not too ride, I was talking more about the Euro pussies
