New bloke Croydon

Postby nickrobinson123 » Thu Apr 10, 2014 8:37 pm

Hi guys, just thought I'd say hello . After doing a beginners course with Patsy Quick I have been heavily bitten by the off road bug and have decided to sell my GSXR and ditch the Tarmac ! I as yet don't have a trailie but am looking and would love suggestions for a 6'4" big bloke with years of road experience but only 1 days muddy fun under his belt. Any suggestions much appreciated . Hope to come to a Tuesday meeting soon and hope you don't mind having your ears bent with stupid newbie questions! Cheers Nick.

Hi Nick,

Welcome to the forum. I am pretty new as well, sure one of the taller members can give a recommendation on a bike. Probably see you at the next meet up. I am around Raynes Park area and we usually ride down by Box Hill.

Cheers
Greg

Hi nick

Another close new guy :) This trail / green laning is really picking up round here ;)

You sound pretty tall i would suggest maybe a honda xr250 or similar

Pretty forgiving and bullet proof

But that aside welcome to the forum mate

Welcome to the forum. I'm another newbie, and as soon as my ribs heal hopefully I'll see you out on a ride :D

Hello and welcome.

I'm the same height as you and struggled with the smaller bikes to start with - found the KTM's to have the highest seat height so went with that and with some risers fitted to the bars, I've not looked back :-)

Have fun searching for your new steed.
