Hi guys,this beat up old Brit hopes to join you and make a small contribution and learn a bit more before the lid gets screwed down,having spent the best part of a lifetime scrambling on cz...montesa and best of all a pair of bultos 250 and 360 until the aging process suggested the bikes had suddenly overnight got quicker than the brain...So now it is dreaming and reflecting on what might have been,and enjoying time on my road bike..and reading and talking about offroad sports,Thanks guys from the uk

If you go back through the posts here Gordon you,ll be entertained for years. :)
Mike ;D
Ps. To fix that "older brain not keeping up with bike"  just buy a older bike Gordon.
I once came across a 70 year old guy trail riding a Paris/Dakar BMW at Mt Mee (local area) and he was having NO problems.
Mt Mee can be a bit savage as you can see by clicking on the  youtube links at the bottom of this post.

Hi Mike....firko....and IT400C,  thanks again mike  also firko,and it400c for the welcome..........The problem is i have tried alternatives to scrambles but have the wrong sort of temperament and still feel able to do it but those QA twistys just have start and stop and if you hit the deck it hurts until the following weekend but then for some strange magical  reason it goes away again until monday....Hi firco i am up north in cumbria  12 miles off the scottish border and 30 miles away from the kendal nostalgia  track....it always rains up here,Thanks again guys its 1 am friday morning here need my bo bo,s
