You can leave it at mine if you like, it will be out side the house, its not a main road so would be fine.
I will pm you my address.

May bring a friend but he wont be riding a MT as it is a bit heavy for him hes a retired chap.
How ageist :o :o There are one or two retired owners who can still manage to dodder about ;) ;)

Last year, my 5 ft 7in mate who had never off-roaded before rode my No 2 MT350. He managed the Wayfarer with no problem, only coming off once. He was 74 at the time. He was my crash test dummy before incorporating that lane into the Easy route for North Wales.

Dont get me wrong the woman in our group call him the silver fox. I just dont see it.
Im not ageist im just realistic he is retired and he cant manage the weight cause he came off and broke his collar bone riding in Spain last year.
I know there are a few old farts in the club but im not far behind you mate.

Its had to say as it really depends on the weather, if its been dry for a few days before then you maybe ok... But there are a few muddy bits that you would struggle on.
Ive been round some of the lanes today with Distanzias on and it was just about ok.
I would reccomend something like TKC80's or T63's and you wouldn't have a problem.
