Re: Green Laning !😜
I’ve done a bit of off roading a few times recently & loved it.
I know the 1200GS really just a touring bike with wellies on but it's really well balanced on the gravel roads on Salisbury Plain near where I live.
At the other end of the spectrum my little DT175mx is great on the trails . Surprisingly torquey for a little stinkwheel & light to pick up & kick start when I run out of talent .

I’d you think the GS just has wellies then you haven’t been to ORS and seen what it’s like when it puts its Salomons on

I went to the local dealer to order one yesterday, none available and no firm delivery dates.Yorick wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 12:51 pmI have a X-Trainer in the garage. Bought it new.

Tried to sell it a few times, but no bugger wants it. So just keep it for pals to ride.
Really fancy the Rieju Ranger now instead, waiting to see what the 2022 pricing is,the new model has a lower seat height, KYB suspension and kick as well as leccy start.
This years model looks okay, the one in stock local to me might get discounted when the new ones come out.

Re: Green Laning !😜
I've got an x-trainer with the suspension uprated, it's for sale....someone meant to be viewing it tonight. If they don't buy I'll put it on here. 2020 only 39 hoursGregor wrote: ↑Sat Oct 30, 2021 9:36 amI went to the local dealer to order one yesterday, none available and no firm delivery dates.Yorick wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 12:51 pmI have a X-Trainer in the garage.

Re: Green Laning !😜
Not too cold this morning so dirt bikes were out. Shropshire hills around Church Stretton . Slight bending of rear brake lever, must of been in narrow rut. Great fun and getting better. Rules seem simple enough, keep on power.

Re: Green Laning !😜
Blimey!- it's quiet in here, but I guess that's as much down to me as anyone else...
Anyway, I fashioned this very trick and lightweight helmet mount for my Drift camera last week,
so gave it a try out last Sunday
Was very moist and slippy, particularly on the inclines and descents, with the odd tree or two down here and there too ( hence the furious sawing a couple of minutes in ) but all this just adds to the fun, and another top day was had by all
