Learn to ride an offroad bike

Post by Paul-S »

Hi Peeps

A friend has just bought himself a KLX250 and he's never been offroad before

I have suggested getting some professional help and he wants to use his own bike rather than a package hiring theirs

I know of a few in the North West area but he's looking for North Wales in particular as he does not want to travel far due to time constraint

Have you any suggestions, who, contact details, experiences etc?

Thanks for your help in anticipation

I`m 90 minutes from Wales,Peak District. So if he can travel that far I can help him. He can use one of my Honda CRF 250`s or his own bike.

I'm signed up here for the 21st: www.trailrides-wales.com/

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

They are good - one of the contacts I know and they also cater for big bikes too
