Are we taking these crampons?
The Battle of Shameface Lane
During my first green-laning trip, I accompanied a member of the local TRF for a ride-out. I might have been unprepared and unsure of what to anticipate, but we met on a chilly November day to explore the mysterious world of green laning... dan dan daaaannn!
The last time I went green-laning was on a DT175, and not even the MX model (mid-80s). So it has been a while, and I may be a tad rusty. :-)
I am happy with my Honda's soft suspension, which is a noticeable improvement from the old twin-shock system. It is more suitable for my back problems. However, I am not impressed with the throttle, which seems to be too sensitive at low speeds. Perhaps it is just me, and I need to get used to it. Or maybe I am always riding in that particular part of the throttle range.
Had a great day out, saw some nice views and visited some places that I had never been to despite living in this area for 50 years. Thanks to Trevor who was very patient with me and hopefully, my speed and abilities will improve over time.
