Wet and greasy Saturday
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
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
It started wet and greasy
It got wetter and greaser for a bit
Then the sun came out
So it went to just greasy!
But it certainly stayed wet!
Then really, really wet
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
Luckily Ray knew the way back so finished the day 2 down, rapidly and in the dark so no more pic's!

those roots were slippy in the dry when i did em last.

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 .
