Amazing fun off roading at Wheeldon in door centre on e-bikes!
I use riding to try and combat my poor mental health, and once I've got over the pre-ride anxiety, I find that riding forces me to concentrate on the now.

The Black Mountains Off Road TRAP That Almost Got Me

I took my BMW G310GS light adventure motorcycle on 80/20 tyres up to the BMW Motorrad GS Challenge, to compete for the first time.

The BMW Motorrad GS Trophy Black Mountains Off Road Sections were for me the highlight of riding my G310GS light adventure motorcycle through the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains of Wales. Even though I was on 80/20 tyres, and they were ORS Skills Level 2 lanes, I never felt over faced, and loved getting off the back lanes and onto proper tracks.

    I've just subscribed to your channel after hearing Exeter Rider mention you on his latest ABR vid. I think the road between Crediton and Bickleigh is rubbish with a sunken metal manhole cover on most corners. In contrast the Bickleigh/Cowley Bridge road is a cracker. I've been brainwashed by your background music so much so that I was humming it in front of the telly earlier on. My wife asked what the tune was and I said "Fu..ed if I know'.

    Thankfully not another gushing, glowing review for once. It seems folk are far too keen to jump on people who hold a different opinion! A personal perience is subjective. More reviews like this are needed. I have ridden numerous motorbikes and frequently find the reviews bestowing god like status are biased. And who wouldn't give great reviews when you are flown to exotic locations on ocassion at the manufacturers cost. If you give a negative review the jollies stop.

    • @ExeterCenturion

      Yeah, I've hidden a few replies from people here who took objection to me not liking them. Others I've responded to with 'okay, happy to watch a video of you on the bike explaining why you like it so much'.

      Nice video , have done 13500 km on my 23 Versys 650 , it gets better as it gets run in, gearbox smooths out , riding in traction 2 mode is best for commuting in low speed situations. Traction 1 mode allows wheelies with a bit of intervention , traction off , wheelies are free form . It’s good on smooth gravel but the small 17 inch front wheel doesn’t like proper off road . Great twisties bike , great touring solo bike .
