Fred Splashing about in Shit!

Car part didn't arrive so took the bike for an MOT, the fitter where i take it is now doing the MOT inspections and the fucker is thorough cheeky git put a throwing front wheel loose spoke and slight play in the suspension linkage down as an advisory its been like that for the last 15 years i ain't about to fix it now  went home the long way.
The road from the MOT station is getting a bit rough i think 

This lane was recently cut back by some horsey types the lazy fuckers left all the clippings on the floor made it a little hard going

After going through this 

I picked up a few of these i had to stop twice to clear the crap stuck in the bike and once to shift some branches i couldn't ride through 

Went to check on a lane where i reported a tree blocking the road a few months ago when i got there it was cleared

But a little further on the recent winds had brought another tree down

Easy enough to get around down through here 

 

But then another down had to cut through the trees to the right to get around it, from here it was home keep forgetting how nice the XR is to ride on the trails

Im easily pleased! Plenty of thrills in those pics. The excitement of not knowing for sure what lays ahead and getting the bike through it.

You would think horse riders would prefer not to have those thicker branches on a muddy trail.

For mud and an easy trail like that, would you still prefer the new 2 stroke to the XR?

Good to see you out on the XR again Fred, I noticed yesterday how sodden the ground is at the moment.  You did well to make it though there

The local land owner on that lane has been know to put logs in the way so was wondering if he had been there messing about or it could have been last weekends storms blowing it all back onto the lane.

As for preferring the XR over the Beta i cant really say i have a preference, i like each of them for what they are i didn't think once today on the dirt i wish i was on the Beta there wasn't anything technical enough. the XR wins hands down for the road work between the lanes and then the 650 beats the XR on the road i just like everything so no one gets jealous of each other

The brand new Mitas XT754 on the rear made short work of the mud its a bloody good tyre but don't last long though
