Hi everyone...returning to hobby after 18 year lay off....like others it may be a mid life crisis(so the mrs' says!!) but noticed that can't seem to ride anywhere other than private land and green lanes. To this end I am thinking of converting a 250 2 stroke to enduro spec. I'm looking to get in touch with any groups for rides.

Hi its a lot different now to how it was 20 years ago when you could just ride where and when you wanted to.
Just have to use your head more now as to where you ride.
wouldn't you be better off buying a enduro rather than converting motocross bike if thats what you mean.

Hi Steve ,thanks for the reply i have had many a flirt with enduro bikes IT465,490 kdx200.250 whilst there was nothing wrong with these, none of them even came close to my road legal kx250 in my opinion. i have been looking at the 2 stroke KTMs but they seem so expensive to maintain compared to the japs.

What sort of riding are you looking to do? Green laning or tracks.

Hi Paul, theres a byway in tonmawr that takes you over to tonna i least i think its a byway. i used to go over there in my 4x4 but its a short run. You have got to be so careful goin out on your own ,i have experience of a 2 hour push, and a messed up knee that changed my thoughts on solo riding.
