    Excellent channel, got sucked in by the 'slow police' and have stayed!
    Saw a chap on a YBR125 do that gravel road once, think for my spines sake would rather be on something softer! Brilliant video though, thanks!

      Hi there, Land Rover would be perfect and yes you can get out the other end👍 you could link up with other green lanes.

    I have to ask, why didn't you take the CRF Rally? The reason I'd like to get a Rally is because it's a do everything bike. You're in a great spot for motorcycling.

      Yes, we're very lucky indeed, with awesome riding round here just need some good weather to arrive! Is a good question you ask about the CRF. I had a CRF250L which I used for a bit of greenlaning but I ended up using it more on the back roads and minor roads around us. I found it a little heavy off-road, certainly the bike is more than capable of the sort of green lanes in this video, is more my lack of off-road ability! The KTM weighs about 50kg less than the CRF so is more manageable, the suspension is also alot better. Power delivery of the KTM is fairly aggressive though, the CRF engine is way more forgiving. Once I get the CRF300 run in (back to the weather again!) will probably try it on some green lanes. Have also done a few mods since this video so will do a follow up.

    will a landrover fit along there?

    • @chriswestern107
      @chriswestern107 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      no worries i should have watched all the video before asking a question heh

      No problem! Yes a Land Rover would be perfect👍 and yes you can get out the other end, I think you can join up with other green lanes.

    Confucius say, always ride where an air ambulance can land😂

      😹 on a previous ride we did see a Land Rover that had got stuck, was on its side in a ditch. Guess the owners had gone to get the AA!
