lucky you were going out today or the absence of those two particular -bikes might not otherwise have been noticed till they next got used, round about April ๐Ÿ™‚

Sorry to hear you got done over though, that's a proper bummer ๐Ÿ™

To be fair to Hora ๐Ÿ˜‰ I think the farmer was in front of him with his captive sheep, so he might not have seen them :P, either that or his Turbo didn't kick in in time before they were let loose.

Good ride, cheers guys. Nice to actually meet some real people off here, that's a first for me. Will have to try to make the next one too, if only because I somehow managed to hide from the cake. I think I was trying to do something futile like defrosting my feet.

I used up a set of brake pads too!

Just been down the dirt jumps for a couple of hours and got caught in a hail storm again! Bloody December, anyone would think it was winter...

I've not looked at my bike since the ride. It's probably about as broken as it normally is.

Can't wait for the vid..

Whilst watching/stood next to pook filming in recording range I said of Sam 'he's like Sam Hill, look he's doing the DH-face'
And
Yellow orange5....'He looks like he's been on holiday recently, either that or its jaundice'.

It's funny you should mention that lol... I literally just got back from Sri Lanka, but I was ill and craping out of the eye of a needle for the entire trip and I saw a rat in a restaurant while I was there, so I could have weils disease a side effect of which is jaundice. So could be either...

Amazed by the Enduro. First ride from the previous nights build (cough cutting corners), popped 30psi in less than recommended and it felt good. Can't see the vid yet- how bad am I? Don't forget we had the wind and rain into our eyes!
