    I like the transponder mounts. Had been contemplating fitting mine to the front too. As it either fouls the tank or pushes the front plate forward :(

    What a week that was!

    Met up with all of the Australians who came over to ride the Welsh 2 Day Enduro on the wednesday. All the sensible ones (Shoey and Co.) rode Huskies. Rode with Geoff Ballard for two days and then drove straight to Farleigh Castle to ride two days of Motocross!

    Won the CE2 Class both days in Wales and Managed to get BOTH of the new 450 Crossers to Holeshot at Farleigh - getting a win and a second place - shaking down the bikes in readiness for superstars to ride them in the Vets des Nations in September.

    The highlight for me though was passing Geoff Ballard - flat out down a hill in Wales A story that I am sure over the next 20 years of telling will only get better and more exaggerated... (In fairness - he was having some bike issues). He also still managed to thrash me on most of the Special tests...

    Fond memories,

    Andy.
