Are you kidding?
That's fecking awesome, who cares if it's useable? If I won the lotto I'd buy a go kart track and make loads of them for me and my friends to seriously injur/maim ourselves.
I would love to see a build thread or more info on it

I think it's fair to say that's Grom bodywork & suspension on a Panigale motor rather than a motor transplant.Edited to add; love the fag-in-the-mouth test ride video.

Looks good.
Got around to fitting my triumph heated grips and hand guards to the tiger on monday evening:
Fitting the wires down the handlebars is a little fiddly, but fitting the grips onto the bars is really easy, the LH grip unbolts and rebolts, and the rh grip just unclips from the switchcube, much easier than trying to run aftermarket wires and attached aftermarket grips.
Looking forward to getting out some more in the cold weather now

Good luck! - i just started messing about on the lanes at beginning of December and i am hooked. An enduro is on the bucket list - let us know how you get on - looks like you have got the right tool for the job - husky's are definitely on a resurgence
I'll try and do a separate thread on it, when the pain stops! Quiet nervous about it but we have a novice practise day with a British Enduro rider the day before so we should pick up some tips and also get a feel for the course.Andybow said:
Did you do the endurocks practice at bratton? There a great bunch, they've got another one at tedburn on the 21st
The one we are doing is through CORE Events, it's at Ashcombe near Dawlish. It's a four hour enduro but we're entering as a team so the plan is for one of us to do an hour, then come in and the other rider goes out for an hour etc for the 4 hours.You look like you know what you're doing, any tips for a complete novice?

Hey mate,You look like you know what you're doing, any tips for a complete novice?
CORE put on a great event and you'll love ashcombe, it can be quite tricky (lots of roots) I'm no pro, but have been doing it a while, I used to trial as a kid, The 4 hour event is brilliant, but I guarantee you won't ride for a hour!!! Try half hour stints, you'll get major arm pump if it's your first event. try and relax and let the bike do the work, also look further ahead than you normally would, (helps me) and the main thing is enjoy it , Endurocks have a freeride enduro practice on the 21st at tedburn st Mary which is a nice easy course great for learning on as there is some faster stuff. Are you running standard tubes?

You are probably right! One of the orgnisers suggested the hour on, hour off. He thought it would probably take us 30mins to do one lap so I guess we both see how we are after each one.
I've seen the Enduro Rocks website, but there's not much on there. Where did you see the Tedburn event advertised?
I think the bike has standard tubes in it. What are you running? Mousses or heavy duty tubes?

It's not on there website yet, but matt the guy who runs endurocks let me know the other day, where are you based?You are probably right! One of the orgnisers suggested the hour on, hour off. He thought it would probably take us 30mins to do one lap so I guess we both see how we are after each one.

Standard tubes are ok but a bit of a pain if running low psi in muddy conditions as you can easily get pinch flats, I've got mousses front and rear, no punctures!!! Although a lot of people run tubliss which are very good, not cheap but a fantastic system, if you like endurocks on Facebook I'm sure he will post the event in a couple of days! Btw drink loads of water!
