Big Bike Adventure Rally

[moto al]

And there we are. Riding on hard packed fire roads (and not at high speed either) is not going to trash anything. the most damage people do to their bikes is at low speed or no speed on tarmac. there seems to exist some kind of perception that riding a big bike on anything but tarmac is going to trash it no matter what, it's rubbish.

hi try the west coast of ecosse. some parts have had no rain for 13 weeks.& no olympics>... cheers moto al

Tis a shame when events are cancelled, the rallies are mostly fully booked but anything that involves camping or has the potential to be a bit iffy when wet then folks are going to wait til the last minute before booking...no good for the organisers as they have a break even number. On a personal note if I had a 13k machine and it had been raining for the last three weeks it would not be hitting fire roads.....instead I have cheap bikes covered in cack right now.

+1 from me as well

You've heard of Chelsea tractors, how about Bitumen bikers!

Same with 4x4's; I see loads of landrovers where I live with the roof tents, the big wheels, the hi lift jack on the back. the closest they ever get to doing anything is going over a kerb at the local tesco car park. Still, each to their own, not having a go at that, i just don't really understand it.

Not all of us are like that

Hi michael
We were running day two for BBRC at Salisbury Plain. So we will now make Salisbury Plain a two day event. I take you will be staying in near by hotel accommodation, I will source some hotel B&B's nearby etc. The two day event will be £65 for the two days, with access to the driver training area and the Plain it's self. Toilets on site as well as catering. I'll get the regs out soon.
Regards john

im in ! is it still going to have the same bike restrictions?

[Mad Cow]

I doubt it as I assume it'll just be for fun, not a competitive event.

Mike it's pretty conventional, I just use lockstraps to hold it down, I have extended the mountings each side to make the straps more stable especially when I'm carrying two bikes.

You can see it here (even though it's not actually strapped down)
