Re: @Ian (bio)
Well i am still finding fauts with the truck but it,s better than it was , the plain is a flood zone atm and standard trucks would get drowned . I need to make sure that my truck will not let me down before i sort anything. And i have promised the L200 club a run which i will need to honnor before i do another surf run ..... september starts the off road season baring exercises.

Re: @Ian (bio)
i can imagine it's bad at the plains, the small byways round me are terrible for what they are. seem to get worse (better) everytime i go there.

Re: @Ian (bio)
I think you should carefully consider the consequences of using byways in the current weather..... if they get chewed up too badly the council will use that as an excuse to close them, due to the cost of repairs.

Re: @Ian (bio)
Its the shit heads on their motocross bikes around here thats the issue, theres loaads of them constantly spinning the back wheel ruining it. But thats a valid point regardless.
