Ha, it felt like it sometimes on my HT.. The lack of rear shock and the entry-level front shock made for a very tiring day indeed.. My arms were in pieces by the end.. |

Yep, starving today... Eaten loads Bike was certainly put through it's paces.. As you said, if it could speak.... Well, there'd be a lot more expletives in the footage and not from me Shame footage is so shaky, wonder if I can make the mount better as the angle seems good (apart from the slight aim to the left which I noticed in the footage and have now rectified) |

Good work on the vids but the shutter roll and position on the bars makes it quite....intense viewing! Looks like it was dryish and you took in some good trails! |

Its the camera or the card, it just cant handle high speed frame rates, how much was the camera? |

These trails look brilliant, even though there bumpy, great vids. Is there anymore planned ? ... If someone is going from Westcliff area that could fit me and the bike in would be great. I have an MR2 and yet to find a bike rack to fit it lol |

Which MR2? Look at the old MGF racks or older MG sites, you'll be amazed what people attach to them. |

The Mk3, newest shape ... will try and check the mgf racks out. You can get luggage racks for it, but mine has a spoiler which negates them. |

Unfortunately, Ive no more trips planned, -cj- Paul from gorrick 12/12 got his bike on the back of a motorbike so you must be able to fit it in a car Wheels, pedals, seat/seatpost off, stem off or loosened and turned 90degrees then on the back seat or in to bike bag if you want to protect the interior. |

I've had a couple of them, and there really is no room, with a spoiler though I think its going to be a wasted search. Time to buy a sensible estate car |
