My friend and I ventured out at the weekend, and this was one of the lanes we went down. The snow was over 6ft deep in places and there were huge holes in the snow that you could lose your bike in!!

Took us over 1 hour to do about a mile, but it was really good fun!

and the mighty beast ;)

it is indeed. And yes, it's very good for green lane use. my only criticism would be that it's not always as clear as I'd like. it's good enough provided the screen is set on full brightness :)

Bike looking good Greg. Little tip Procarbon racing sell a lovely set of carbon frame guards which cover the whole frame. They stick on with silicone and are well worth there money. Look proper trick aswell

Cheers for the tip Bushwacker. You got any pics with them fitted?

I opted for the standard Yamaha Ally protectors which seem quite good but think the upper parts would benefit from sme frame guards :) You got a bashplat fitted too? I'm not too optimistic that the standard PLASTIC ( :roll: Yamaha, what were you thinking??) item will take too much punishment :shock:

I love it. I had a 2005 WR250F prior to this one and this feels lighter and more responsive. Your welcome to have a spin on it some time if you fancy a trip up to Rainow (Nr Macclesfield) some time :)
