January Blog

Happy New Year to all you bloggers!!

I am now waiting delivery of our third HM Honda 300 crf. I believe this is one of the best off road bikes I have tested. I anticipate that we will be purchasing two of their 500 versions later this year.

The HM Honda Bike comes with a much higher specification than the standard Honda.The engine is blue printed and includes a bigger bore kit, indicators etc.
Non of the silly metal petrol tanks etc., you find on the other Honda bikes.They are homologated and road legal.

For those of you in the UK that are interested in purchasing these bikes or who would like further information I recommend that you contact Edmonson Racing  tel:   01543 450150.  They will be very happy to help with any further information you require.




To answer the many questions I am always asked about the old chestnuts...
Riding without a current Bike License:     I would like to confirm riding a 125cc off road or on road  bike in Spain  is legal  if you live in Spain and own your own Spanish registered bike.     If you ride a bike that is not owned by you , you will not be able to get insurance.  Its as simple as that.
British or Non Spanish registered bikes:     If you are here on holiday you are allowed to keep your non Spanish vehicle or bike for up to  6 months. It has to have  insurance, MOT and tax.  
If you run a business in Spain using non Spanish registered bikes or cars the business is illegal  and  in breach of Customs and Excise  (The Aduana).    

I have been informed of two Companies currently running on non Spanish Registered bikes they are breaking the law.  They will not be licensed with the Tourist Board. They will not be insured to work in Spain nor will you be insured. Its easy to spot especially UK plates because they are yellow. Spanish plates are white with black text and have to be made of metal. There are no exceptions to this Law.




Now to the best bit riding those bikes with Trailblazers

Liz and Mark are working hard on securing the best deals for you when you ride with us.  Fantastic accommodation choices, riding tours and raids. Its always worth checking out our special offers and sending and email  bookings@trailblazers-pro.com.
They will be happy to help and suggest the best package for you. Just to remind you we work all year round at dates to suit you from 1-10 riders beginner to expert.
 














Look forward to eating some more dirt with you in 2013.

October Blog


We have just finished filming the new Trailblazer Promotional DVD.  Copies will be available at the NEC Bike Show.  We are  on stand H15 3A opposite KTM.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stuart and the lads for a great time and what a fantastic laugh we had filming. We also took some still shots and the best photo will be used in next month´s  newsletter when we will be offering a gift voucher for the best Caption.   Its worth waiting for.


Gas Gas Bikes
Still waiting!!  The  problem is  getting the bikes on Spanish Plates even though they are made in Spain!  What a nonsense.  In the meantime I have added to the fleet with a CRF 300 HM Honda and KTM 450.    Nice bikes

Old Friends
A very special riding date for me earlier this month with my old road racing mates from Yorkshire.  Its ten years since we were together riding and they are dafter than ever and still see they funny side of life.


Back soon blogging

Graham!
