Copying across from Strata Florida Facebook page. Stranded D2 in need of a rear calliper to drive it home. I have advised to clamp of the the flexi to the wheel. Obviously it would be better if it had a working callipers. Unfortunately having never owned one I have no D2 parts whatsoever
 
Is it actually on Strata, as a few recent posts have shown off piste activity purporting to be on Strata?
Is it someone on their own or several vehicles?

Your clamping solution seems to be a good idea to get back to a public road.
 
Some lads on their own I believe. They have posted on the Strata and SYM Facebook page asking for help parts wise. This isn’t someone I know and no photos have been posted. That page though does not take kindly to off piste mind.

What are you hoping for , by posting in LZIR Paul?

Long time no see , btw, hope all is good with you.

Cheers
 
See if anyone else local can help with the parts. I don’t like the idea of leaving someone stranded as I know I would appreciate it if I was in that situation myself.

Over 200 miles from home so really not a good idea to drive that distance with clamped off brakes

No. But ok to drive to the nearest public road for recovery.
They DO have recovery? Or are yu saying 2 lads drive 200 miles to do Strata on their own with no help and no recovery?

But yu wouldn’t be daft enough to do it with no contingency, would ya.?

They say they have no recovery. I doubt they will do that twice

They may not be doing it once :)
 
Definitely not! I won’t drive any lane without a group and have personal AA membership as well as my own flatbed trailer and beaver tail recovery truck.
