Sometimes they take you onto the highway to demonstrate the on-road ability of the car too. At Dunkeld, if you opt to upgrade to the full day then you have to drive about 6 miles on the public road to get from their base at Highland Offroad where they do the school stuff to the Atholl Estates where they have their fun/ play areas How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

The Rockingham site requires no more than 6 points so you would get away with 3 ( I hope so anyway Wink )

they asked me if i had less than 6 points, I only have the common 3 points on mine

The land rover bikes are re-badge Claude butler, or falcon (same company) i was looking into the spec of it myself, and poped to a local bike shop that was listed as selling them

Apparently very good bikes the shop owner told my in a totally unbiased way Smile Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Well it maybe cheaper but if we are comparing sizes and quality, I love my Specialized RockHopper Comp Very Happy

Good quality bike for half the cost of the big boys.

Norway 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

It dont matter what name the bike frame has on it they are all made in Korea or China anyway. Most of the equipment mounted on todays bikes are also made in China or Japan so the only thing that sounds familer is the marketing companies name like Claud Butlar, Orange etc who are just importing and selling the bikes. There may be one or two companies in the UK screwing the bits together but its all manufactured in the third world Shocked
The names on British bikes you wont find in Scandinavia, and you will never have heard of ours, but the frames/forks/wheels/gears/brakes etc are the same Wink
Exception is a few overpriced American makes Yawn So lets get back to Land Rover Freelander 2's and cut all the bike cr@p Laughing 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Mmm not sure if they're that good. They are indeed CB bikes rebadges, they also hike the price up when they put that Land Rover logo on it. I think they're more of a gimmick, if you want to ride seriously then there are much more sophisticated and 'better' bikes on sale. The G4 one does look nice though. "CY from DISCO3"

I did say the shop owner told me they was very good Whistle

I bet if you looked into it you would get the equivalent Claude Butler bike cheaper

Personally I would go with a name that i know a little bit more about, but still Claude was still making his bikes when i got mine, just nothing that i looked at Thumbs Up Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
