New "Old Timer" in the UK

Post by ScruffyDroid »

Hi all

I've just returned to the KDX fold after a 28 year absence. Bought a 2002 KDX 220, 2900 miles on the odo. Great condition, suspension front and rear completely refurbished, bushes, bearings and swingarm. I like to do my own mechanicals and not scared of spanner-bending!

Originally had a 1984 KDX 2000 from new when I lived in South Africa and loved it and the freedom from being able to ride wth no reservations, no restrictions and no cares. I used to do all my own maintenance, top-end, suspension works with limited funds/tools.

I now live in Surrey, not far out of London and looking to ride trails/green lanes with a bit of low key Enduro.

This seems a very friendly and informative site and if anyone in the UK has similar ideas get in contact. :supz:

I'm another 'Old timer'. I'm in the Isle of Man. (It's that rock between you and Ireland) :grin:

Thanks. Yes, she is quite special. She went on an HGV driving experience couple of weeks ago. 44 tons driven by a 9 stone bird!

Hi & welcome to the forum fellow UK rider !
If you are looking to ride the trails in & around your area then I recommend you check out the TRF ( trail rider fellowship) I'm sure you'll find them helpful with local riders around your area....they should also be able to help you with local ride outs with people in your area ....I've gone for rides with the cornwall TRF on many occasions & had a real blast !
