Conquering Green Lanes: My Adventure Learning To Ride Off-road! in South Devon on the Honda CRF300L
Tough climb for me, but not so bad if you can stay on the ridges. Ended up sliding into a rut, stopped for a rest to cool down, and forgot to resume filming.
My second time out in the lanes in South Devon. If you are new here, you might want to check out my first ride playlist (link in the end credits).
It was another slightly chilly day in February that soon ended up getting too hot while tackling the hilly parts - and there are a lot of hills in Devon!
I made some updates to my Honda. I installed a throttle tamer and switched to a front sprocket with one less tooth to try and reduce the jerky throttle, with not too much satisfaction, satisfaction (anybody now playing Benny Benassi- satisfaction in their head ? Comment below ) it hasn't fully solved the issue.
I also added a mount for my Garmin Zumo XT sat nav, although it's not that visible when standing as you have to look dreckly down. It works well enough for off-road use. A helpful tip is to switch to off-road mode before loading a GPX or trip, and vice versa.
Lots of indicator action in these videos. It seems there wasn't enough pressure applied to the switch, as it appears to have a two-stage action.
