That's one tiny advantage of having 'sticky out' cylinders, She doesn't trap my leg when we (often) crash! I tend to ride alone the majority of the time these days, Trail riding seems to be so much faster paced than it was when I first started ( Of course I could be slowing down as I get older!) 😊
That’s what I was thinking! Very narrow, walked up a similar lane a couple of weeks ago and should have taken a machete! 😀 Nice views in places though 😀
🙂I think its one of those lanes you would need to learn to keep you out the trenches Ken , tough going for me, not to bad from where the video ens to the top
Ah! So you ARE human and fall off like the rest of us? 😊😂 Slippery Sam I know well, been up it many times on the MCC's Exeter Trial. Its the first time I've seen it downhill, I think it's probably harder going down. 👍
@@chrissmedley3418 dont know as my partner paid & she's away for a few weeks, probably wont really have a bearing on next years prices 🙄probalbly be on their website in a few weeks along with tickets
Ah, that red South Devon mud! 😊 What's the river down on the right? I smiled at your mention of indicators, my speciality! I find if you switch one on and leave it, you'll be right several times during the day 🫣👌
Always technical and impossible to learn as the rocks move about so never the same twice. I cycled up there last week and it only stopped me twice but warmed me up so much I was glad of a rest at the end. Some call it TV set lane as there are boulders the size of old TV sets scattered about, although the 4x4 crew moved some aside recently.
This is not Haldon lane which runs from Bowdens lane to Longthorne cottage. This is known by Devon County Council as UCR 1187 and you only joined the correct route at 01.49 beyond which the way is impassable due to trees having been planted on the road, also blocked by a travellers scrapyard and their houses built across the road. See the OS map green dots for the correct line. Used mostly by dog walkers but also frequented by deer and ravens.
It's been a great series, a lot of lanes documented. So useful for anyone outside the area planning a day, gives a good reference of what the lane/s are like in advance 👍
That looked hellishly slippery on a couple of the corners, your li'l honda always takes it in its stride though, I'd have been paddling like a centipede! 😂👍
😄It came fitted with Michelin Trackers, which are very grippy and confidence-boosting for a novice like me. However, if you can stand the road noise, it sounds like you are being followed by 10 Land Rovers, all in 4-wheel drive, on a hot sunny day.😊
Where the helll are they going at the end? The lane continues with some switch backs and comes out opposite the golf course. That part is a nice section, some deep gullies and tricky bits.
Looks like I might need to invest in a rescue canoe! With all the additional rain we’ve had I doubt it’s got any better! Well done for staying up and on! 🤗
thanks Ken, 300crf is ride by cable, the on/off throttle has been driving me a bit crazy that's why I'm sitting down a lot to avoid being thrown back & forth which makes throttle control even worse, I have been trying to sort it out since I've had the bike, spoke to other owners & got "they're all like that mate ", fitted a throttle tamer & dropped a tooth on the front sprocket did a Throttle position sensor reset none of which seemed to cure the problem. Read on a Facebook group that you need to leave the bike off for a while after doing the TPS reset to allow it time to write to the ECU which did seem to make a difference to my last ride out with a new TRF member or rather I didn't notice it, so I either cured it or am riding a bit faster out of the on/off zone & also tend to leave one finger on the clutch lever to feather it in & out. Apparently Euro 5 ? hondas are different to Thailand & USA Bikes have a different ECU & run much leaner at tick-over, it's much like having a blocked pilot jet if it had a carb. Apart from that it is a great little bike & will chug up most stuff & I can pick it up all by myself. Did I spot you in Steve's latest video in Torrington?
I can sympathise with you a bit, I have a similar glitch with mine. The transition from idle jet to main jet isn't completely 'clean' and it's just where you need to be sometimes. I disguise it with the clutch, it's been so long that it's automatic habit now!😁 Good spot! Yes I did go to the start of the rally to see Steve off, make sure he'd been to the toilet, got his coat done up, taken his vitamins etc.... Just doing my bit for care in the community and looking after the oldies! 🤣🤣
Another nice 'un. Your Honda seems to make pretty light work of it. I notice in your description your remarks about the throttle behaviour, I've seen a couple of reviews of the 450 himmi where they're saying the same thing 🤔 A by product of 'ride by wire'?
@@kenbrooks7794 😀no problem Ken , there is only a limited number of spaces in the title , as i said i started off all wrong & i think the next sequence is S00.5 😳
I like the casual way that you're looking at the scenery at the start, as your'e riding along...... When i do that i usually end up with my riding mate looking down at me, asking if i'm alright! 😁
This is not a grid reference. To access the green road map, you will need to join the TRF. It costs about £1 a week, but in my opinion, it's well worth it if you're green laning in the UK. Find out more here: www.trf.org.uk/
Lovely that theres still trails like this on open moorland. So much pressure from the 'antis' these days. Exmoor lost nearly all their similar lanes years ago. Only a few slipped through the net. 😞
