Re: Trail Bike advice please

The single most important mod is the correct set of tyres for your use. Trail and adventure bikes are pretty much defined by their tyres. No one tyre will do it all well. Pirelli MT21s seem to tick a lot of boxes, but don't excel at anything. Loads of people here will give advice if asked! The next ...

Re: Three Cross Motorcycles

I suspect a lot of the of GT/GTSs and even Darmahs have been 'converted' into '900SS look-alikes', so an unmolested honest GT would certainly have rarity value. I wouldn't even try to sell it now, unless you need the space or money.

Re: Trail Bike advice please

Well, the good news is that production of new KTM/Husky bikes is about to restart.

The delivery of new bikes should switch the supply of older bikes back on as people make room in the garage. Although quite who is going to buy a new bike ATM, I'm not sure.

Re: Check those batteries.

Even a very sad battery will usually show over 12 volts with no load. Best way to test is to put voltmeter on, and turn all lights on without running the engine. A sad battery's voltage will drop like a stone. Some smartchargers can revive a battery, but not all batteries can be revived. Don't use a...

Re: Off-roaders on the beaches

Did I read that the CPS was having to review every summons and FPN issued by the police over the 'lockdown' because the briefing the police were working to bore no resemblance to what the legislation actually says?

Re: Three Cross Motorcycles

Started in 1976 or 7 when a businessman called Graham Miles purchased a load of fire-damaged motorcycles from the insurers of Rafferty-Newman in Portsmouth and sold them off in the showroom at Three Cross Garage. Later purchased the assets of The Italian Motorcycle Centre in London, which got him st...
