Coxy, Ray and a group of mates from Hampshire arranged ride up here about 6 months ago, and got what you'd expect in November - pissing down rain!!
You couldn't knock their keenness though, a 6 hour round trip drive in a van for a 6 hour trail ride  cheers

Met at the usual place, got dressed in the pissing down rain, then 7 spanky new KTM's rolled out of the van
But everyone was so confident of the reliability there was hardly a spanner between them all  Shocked

Then this fella plopped the bike into the water, drowned the engine and the misplaced confidence of not carrying any spanners caught up with 'em - I suppose you're never that far from a shop in Hampshire?!
After a bit of faffing about it looked like going dark, so a spanky KTM had to be towed back to the van behind an old chap on a 15 year old DRZ - 'oh the shame of it  lol!

Luckily Ray knew the way back so finished the day 2 down, rapidly and in the dark so no more pic's! Very Happy

If you need a plug spanner for a 350 Ktm you may have to wait a while
When they all buy one .. Unbelievable.
Had a great day Gary thanks mate see you soon .
