Fantic caballero Rally 500 ROUGH BOY

The timing was perfect. Having just enlivened an enjoyable morning's road blast with a few laps of a roundabout not far from Suffolk dealer Krazy Horse, where we'd borrowed the Caballero Rally 500, I'd pulled up to suggest to photographer Phil that we find somewhere to take the new Fantic off-road.

"Well, I just saw someone riding a motocross bike over there;' Phil replied, gesturing to a low hedge just off the roundabout. Sure enough, on the other side of the foliage was a dirt track that seemed to be open to the public - short and narrow, but with a variety of sandy routes, and without a barrier or Keep Out sign
