Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

in summary - awesome!

First time on the circuit for many of us so we all went into the novice group. Brilliant weather, brilliant track and everyone enjoyed themselves, apart from me dad whos bike broke down just after he rolled it off the ramp, which we have since found the fault to be a blocked drain on the fuel tank resulting in fuel in the water...balls!

I had a mates camera on the bike facing forwards so I am waiting on that footage being sent to me. I will put it up when I get it

Cool vids! I can't believe water in the fuel kept your dad off the track though- bugger!

bugger eh?! and its something we could have sorted in the pits too.

'the plugs are wet' I heard, and said that quite a few times, shortly before the statement 'so its got fuel'
No actually its got water!

Nice Video Ian, looks like a nice circuit with a bit of everything.I'm going to add some of your soundtrack to my TRX collection on my ipod . In our novice groups we're not allowed to "undertake" strictly around the outside. Nothing like being surprised by some muppet who outbrakes himself and stuffs it up the inside while he's all crossed up.

Tell me about it. Some weapons grade helmet on an R6 tried to overtake me (on my RS125- he should've just waited for a straight ) on the way into the the complex (the left/right before the hairpin) and outbraked himself, only to then rejoin the track right across the line I was on through the left hander instead of being polite and waiting for a gap Still, it was a brilliant day
