I enjoyed your technical review and judgement on the tyres. Especially at 10:04. Very funny, this is my kind of commentary. By the way, I've got the CRF300L and I changed to Trackers which are pretty good, but even they can find themselves going sideways when it gets slippery.
@@outoftheshed8407 To save you sodding about looking at which size fits etc..... I've got 80/100 R 21 FRONT 120/90 R 18 REAR The rear fits absolutely fine. They're a bit shit on the road, but personally I want them to perform off road and I'll put up with any on-road limitations.
I’ve got a theory that Ramblers only exist to make other people miserable. Very well ridden anyway mate, great lanes and the bike looks superb. The Honda stock tyres are really good on road and hard-pack but not so good on the lanes you’re doing….or dry grass surprisingly. I use Michelin Trackers at 15/20 psi for a good road/lane pressure with extra thick inner tubes. They’ll normally get you through (and up) most stuff. Another thing on steep downhills is to pull in the clutch and go down on the back brake so you definitely don’t get any engine drive. In my old trials riding days (around Ashbourne in the 70’s) you’d have a decompressor which was brilliant.
Sure you’ve figured it out by now but just tap the button on the bottom right and the map will move with you and save all that tapping on the screen. 👍
No, I hadn't figured it out, but thanks for the tip. I didn't mind so much moving it by hand as it made me concentrate on it. I'll be trying your way next time for sure. Cheers.
@@outoftheshed8407 Will defo have to brush up on my skills again as did lots of motorcross and stuff when i was younger i will see how i get on with it fingers crossed as the little trial i did on one last year seems to feel nimble still even with the weight
That looked steep even on camera. I expect you've ben reminded how tiring it is riding off road. As kids we used to have Bultaco bikes in the quarries and tracks on Portland. Used to ache all over after a day on the bike. Got quite used to falling off😁😁 Fly tippers...scumbags. Do many people moan at you for riding the trails? Funny things, people, but then I would imagine some off roaders have just blasted past them in the past so they tar everyone with the same brush. That geek squad you passed looked "special" Feckin hate deep puddles, ya never know what's lurking in there to throw you off.🤔🤔 I did consider another GoPro but then remembered all the problems I had with the Hero 7. Why thhese manufacturers don't make a camera with bluetooth record straight to the camera I'll never know. I get that these adapters make them money, but the customers soon get pissed off with them and will look for alternatives. Glad you got through that without binning it before ya holiday.
No one moans. They just look at you like you are shite. The thing is they can walk anywhere and we are limited, so those that go off piste give us a bad name whilst the rest have to battle with the hikers. In my opinion, the trails should be open to all, and everyone should be more tolerant. That would be too easy eh?

It's the uneducated review🤣 I'm giving the trackers a bash next.

I'm gonna try the trackers soon. Cheers
Been there ! tyres fitted Mitas E0-7 last year on my Himalayan really happy with them
All local lanes to me as well - just south of you with a Tenere. You did well on those rocky steps and climbs.
Cheers, it's the ruts that scare me more.
I'm from Sheffield always up houndkirk etc .
I`m going to sound like a total newb here but I had no idea such routes, allowing motorbikes, existed in the Uk.
Sure is. Check out Trail Riders Fellowship (TRF) or Green Lane Association (GLASS)
@@outoftheshed8407 Superb! I will. Thanks

there pritty close to me down just passed matlock been looking to adventure on some lanes when i get new bike. Looking good what tyres you got on ?
The tyres are the IRC that are fitted from new. They are a 50/50 tyre. I'll be fitting some michelin trackers next. What bike are you looking to get?
@@outoftheshed8407 Looking to get Tiger 1200 rally pro as will be doing a lot of road miles but looking to do the ACT and some of the TET also
@PureEvolution nice. You must be fair handy to take a big lump like that off road. Fair play to you.

Your phone not mess up your view?
Not really, it might do when I mount a tablet.
Nice to watch matey. Happy memories and itching to get back on it. See you at weekend 👍👍
Oh yes. See ya Saturday.
Get a dunlop d606 on the back pal
Was going to try a pair of Trackers. I believe the back won't last long, then I'll try a Dunlop mix. Nice one.
👌👌👌👌👍👆
