Has anyone tried the yamaha experience and if so was it worth the £160,
or can anyone recommend a weekend or day, cheers

I've done the Yamaha off-road experience and it was well worth the money. You are completely knackered at the end of the day, but you also learn a lot from it. The track I went to was good fun, and once your confidence starts to grow they keep opening other sections up of it so you have to overcome harder corners/jumps.

I only fell off the once, and that was my own fault, and if you do happen to snap the brake lever (as I did!) they are used to it and have lots of spare ones floating around (which you don't need to pay for).

On the back of this experience it's got me wanting to get a motorcross bike so much, but due to needing my money for other toys ;) I've held off getting one. However, saying that, I hope to get one later on this year.

Cheers Scott, I did a ferrari experience last year and it was a bit of a let down, but it looks like the yamaha one should be a right laugh, thanks

not sure what ur looking for, but a friend of mine owns traxmotorsport at preston docs, they have all sorts of stuff there, but not sure if you bring ur own and or can hire them, go karts, 4wds, quads, motox.

Mike,

I've also done the Ferrari experience (at Thruxton) and from what I remember, I got no longer than 1 hr in the cars (all of them). However, with the Yamaha off road experience, you are on your the bike (you get to try 125's, 250's and 400's during the day) for the full day and are riding for somewhere in the region of 5-6 hr's, which, when you are not used to it, is very tiring!

Whilst I remember more about the day, there were two people on the course who had never ridden a bike before, and by the end of the day they were getting air (OK not a massive amount ;)) from some of the jumps they were taking.

Email me if you want to know more (have piccies/small video clips of the day).

I'm thinking of getting myself booked on this http://www.suzukioffroadexperience.co.uk/ as I'd like a DR-Z400 :).

Have done the Honda day. fantastic run by cashonda.com £125 all day midweek break the bike no worries they will fix it. all inc with boots & kit. ride whatever bike you want as much as you want.

or enduro or supermoto riding try Clewsleisure.co.uk great day but expensive and drop the bike break a lever you have to pay for it fixing. + Wr250's not 400's as claimed by this years bikes with lecky start. usually around lake dirstrict.

or again try overlandtrailtours.co.uk based around the lake district cheaper more fun enduro on 400 honda's

However if all you want is to get some air and have fun i'd go for the cas honda route speak to Sheridan and he'll find a track and day for you. in fact lets organise a scoob only cas honda day who's up for it ?

guys thanks for the reply's I think the yamaha experience is the one I'm going to book, I recommend it to you all if all goes well, ta very much
Regards
Mike.

We did have the WR 400's too, brand new as well.
Go for this one fabulous riding, wonderful scenery and good back up.
If you stuff the bike it does coat up to the deposit you leave. I would have thought that this is pretty standard and to be expected.
