    When i was young and foolish(now im old and foolish) about 15 years ago a mate an i did the wires,i was riding a honda xl100! He was on a 125! we had a bog feast to say the least. closest i ever came to crying!too sore to walk next day so pulled a sickie.
    I guess it hasn't changed much.
    A universal dream of greatness is that
    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
    Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.

    Is that your pre ride stretching routine Cave Weta?
    And how do you manage to repost a pic that you have already used on this website? It never allows me to do that when I have tried.

    Use a defferent name on the photo Greg, however I think that I never needed to see that photo.... EVER!! YUCK!

    I could be keen to give wires a crack, but I think I'd need a pipe guard and a cup of concrete......

    Ye I think you should give it a go, the more the better it’s just about getting a good group together and having a laugh. While scaling vertical walls and crossing rivers.

    I thought I had tried a different name but with the same result. Other sites will let you post the same pic twice but this one always comes up with that the file has already been uploaded blah blah.

    I didn't run a pipe guard and none of us smashed our pipes when we did it although the potential is definatly there. Just don't go crazy and my concern was actually the crank cases but we got through without any damage.

    I think i damaged my pipe when i went over the bars heading down the rocky section of the long down hill. Going to fast

    But definitly lower gearing for my bike would have made a huge differance.

    I've got a bash plate for the sump, but I should get a pipe guard.
