XT500s go on holiday

[Triumph5ta]

In the Auvergne (France) and in the Catalan Pyrenees taking part in the 2017 Twinshock Trailfinder event:

WOW awesome - love the old bangers  ?

All XT's - no TT's ? Used to have a 79 TT500 - orange tank

Thanks for posting the pictures!

Looks like Rob and Liz sat down at the table in one of the pics. If so, then I guess that's his XR200 and Liz's PE

[Triumph5ta]

You were there?

 

[grouty]

No, sadly 

I did speak to Austin a couple of years ago about travelling over, but it's just not happened yet. The old KLX twin shock would be ideal for that too.

[Triumph5ta]

Yeah its a fun event but a long old way. We hired a van and had two days riding trails in the Auvergne then two days doing the twinshock trailfinder. It cost us about £800 each all in inc van hire, diesel tolls accommodation and food.

Are you part of the Devon TRF? They had a big contingent there...

[grouty]

Yes, I am part of the Devon TRF. I still use all my twinshocks for laning when I get time.

Great pic's. It seems you guys across the pond make better use of your well kept XT's than in the States.
