Shame I haven't got the photo's to prove it.

Had an excellent 3 hours off-roading Uly's at the Buell Performance Academy on Friday 16th. Hmm! Will this go down as the last event for them.

Spinning up the rear and locking it. Yes you hear right, it is possible to lock up the rear wheel (if only on the loose stuff). Tight turns on gravel, hill climbs and descents and off course, the odd bit of airborne action. Thanks to Pete Boast for his enthusiasm and tutourage.

A couple of the bikes took a bit of a hammering (thankfully not from me). One with a dinged frame and another needing new footrest hanger, Front Brake Lever and Mirror. But a drop's a drop, whether it's gravel or tarmac. These ain't motorcross bikes.

All for £79 (discounted). Chance of being able to do the same again on an Adventure Weekend next year, very remote. The experience today, priceless!

nice one.

having taken part on the adventure weekend - i can only confirm although the Uly being not an off-road bike its capable to a lot more than i would have thought!

it would be a shame is the academy would stop - but like someone else already posted without Buell - No academy.

anyway, glad you had fun
thx Lars
