If you see a P38 towing a very big off road bike on the M1 tomorrow, it's me!!! I can easy chuck it on the back if anyone fancies a go for the Oct unofficial? I know it's about LR, but it is a beast! Having said that, if the place we're off to don't like bikes I'll not bother.
I don't want to upset anyone etc.
Did I say it was big......
Spilt the beans on UKRM yet ;-)
Enjoy!

You've a cruel streak ... ;)
Indeed. Awesome bit of kit.
My god, it is the best plaything i have bought in ages! I(t's a huge beast that sounds like a tank & goes like a rocket. Handles like a dream too. There was a white 101 on the M1 today, anyones here? Near Derby turn. Jc28 A38

I've had a hankering for one of those supermotard things for a while, the ones like a big trailie/trials bike but on sticky road rubber. They look serious fun.
Same thing really Austin with the KTM, just swap the wheels & rubber for an instant supermoto! The problem is, i have no desire to ride on the road & never have had.
I have just started taking this to bits, it is mint, probably done no more than
60-100 hours in it's life! It's been run on the best oil, the best powershock & it even came with supermoto plastics but no wheels!Not bad for £1500, was a very expensive bike new.

Some of the two-wheel-drive bikes look interesting, the Rokon's a big beast.
bikers at the AWDC? whatever next?
/wanders off chuckling.
Well round here the only use the chavs have for offroad bikes is to ride them up and down the pavement impressing there mates, I imagine they would get lost if they ever took them off the estate.

One of the bike shock absorber companies -- Ohlins perhaps? -- was showing around a hydraulically -powered front drive unit that could be added on to most bikes, and I presume that's what KTM was testing. That's been kicking around for a few years and shows some promise. I'd love to see one on some of the big on/off road touring bikes like the BMW GS series.
Nige, congrats on your KTM. Big on/off road motorcycles open up an entire world of possibilities for adventure, and combining that with an interest in Rovers demonstrates that you can't be all bad ;)
I've got a few photos and stories of my bikes and traveling in Mexico and that sort of thing scattered around my website at
