Yes...It's more of a noun than a verb. You might go
from 'the nadgery' onto a fire-break...?

I thought it would be along the lines of
"tricky", tricky might be understating it then.....thanks, I can picture
that!

'The nadgery'...Tight twisty difficult
rocky??...The sort of trails where you have to stop and use a foot
to hoick the bike's arse around. Exactly the wrong place to have a teeter
tottering enduro bike with it's long kicked-out front end and 36" seat
height. Now fire breaks.....That's a different story!

That's the only time I've seen the word
"nadgery" outside of Max King's book I've been reading recently.?
It's a lovely sounding word but what exactly does it mean?
?
Haze

Hmm...Those weren't based on the XR
though...they're water-cooled for starters...Not available in the
UK and not many grey imports brought in because they weren't as good
as an XR at fast stuff and weren't as good as a Serow at nadgery
trails . Quite heavy too...
Laura: The best of all those 250's was
the Honda NX 250 from '88,'89 and very cool with it's mini fairing.
Here's a pic of my NX 650, they looked alike.?Used they're
reasonably priced. Daniel

Hm if I would be interested in such a yamaha xt225 (or 250) what
would be I be looking at moneywise? I understand it would be good
for town/commuting. I do fancy one of those, riding position seems
comfortable. But you know I go through phases so please don't take
it that I will go and buy one tomorrow, I'm likely to change my mind
again as women do!! Haven't even sat one. Are they easy to get hold
of?

The Suzuki DR 200, the Yamaha XT

are all electric
start 4 strokes with seat heights at 30 inches or less
