looking gooooood like the red .... I hope you enjoy re-building yours as I did mine, but there's always that little niggling itch inside your head that says " should I buy a new one .. or can I make do with the one I have"
Weekends in the garage, a few tins ... nice!!

Out of interest is there much in the way of trail riding in your part of the country , especially thetford .
Have you ever done the wattisfield hall enduro , my uncle owns the farm there , never rode there though
, took my bike a few years ago and he wouldnt let me ride on the track lol

Looks a good track , everytime there is an event on there they say the bikey boys are here soon are you coming to ride , im allways at the other end of the country working though , it would be good to go down on a weekend ... Trail ride one day and hire the track the other day for a select few riders 
, if thats possible

My bike isn't registered so trail riding is out of the question really. Hoping to get a road reg'd trial bike next year. Gasser of course
It's fairly straightforward to get bikes registered. Order a V55 (5) form from the DVLA website and tick the boxes to register it under the trials and enduro scheme. If the bike doesn't have a chassis number, the DVLA can assign one, which you have to stamp into the frame (or get it done at a garage - stamping tubes is a bit tricky) and it will probably get a 'Q' plate. If you have a chassis number, you should get an age related plate. The only weird bit is that you have to get the bike insured on a chassis number, mot'd and taxed before they will issue a registration plate, but that's bureaucrat logic

I don't think it would be allowed because of planning permission and the locals. He's probably only allowed 3-4 races per year between MX and enduro.

I tore mine years ago , can you straighten your leg , i couldnt for ages , was supposed to go back for an op as i damaged it twice ... The second time tearing the cartlidge , i never had it done though as they told me id be off work for 6 monthsThat would be my club, Diss mcc. Thats all by the by now as I have ruptured my ACL with a couple of other bits of damage. 2 months of Physio then back to see the Dr. Not even sure if I will be able to get back on a bike next year yet
.My knee twitches all the time now , think its my bodys way of keeping the muscle built up to compensate , it sometimes sort of jumps out of the socket doing mx and that brings tears to the eyes
but its been ok for quite a while now

Mine is totally snapped
Started physio yesterday ouch! I can nearly staighten my leg but bending it isn't so good. I have to build up my leg muscles to support it. Not too sure if I will have reconstruction or just go without!

I know Rob, big ole boy!
Where do you all live? I'm in Harleston, Norfolk.
There are two cracking Enduros next month Thetford using the Muntjack track and TBEC are doing Rendlesham. Both will be about a 12 mile lap. Thetford fast and open Rendlesham tighter than a mouses ear.
