White Lane's around The Tarenig Forest, Wales

This is a route we have been meaning to try out for some time,not sure if its a right of way. They go near the windfarms and there could be a chance they are tracks made by the Forestry Commission.

XT600e (4TP) 2003

The only modification is the Acerbis 23ltr fuel tank.

282 miles is the most I have done before refilling with 21.5ltrs of fuel. 

Easy enough to fit, I got mine from David Lambeth. (Just google him)

Twist grip throttle fitted to Quad... then emergency Tyre repair on Claverley byway

Twist grip throttle fitted for long distance riding!

 After stopping for a quick chat on the new throttle test run Muddy Puddle noticed a funny looking item stick out of the off side rear tyre of the X8 Quad.

 Crazy the sort of stuff you can pick up on a byway!
Remember, always be prepared!!! 

 Both 4 inch points went into the tyre creating two holes

 Captain Badger as it sorted though... always prepared!!

Job Done!!!
