Conquering Green Lanes: My Adventure Learning To Ride Off-road! S00E17 Holbeam Lane in South Devon in 4K
filmed Nov 2023
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.

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'?
