Three Lane Bimble! First Mud!

Well I finally got it muddy!!! went for a three lane bimble with smudger, mainly to test our helmet comms and my gps setup on the iphone, I had sort of 90% road tyres (anakee 2) so was sliding around quite a bit even on the flatish lanes that I chose. We went through Littley Green see below vid, then down the lane after towards Little Waltham which was a bit more slimey and a few ruts. I had to just let the bike slide into whichever rut it wanted as steering was pretty non existent on the road tyres, but it felt surprisingly nimble for a big bike once on the move, and with proper tyres on im sure the speed could be increased and the handling will be much more improved. Obviously the speed side of things is a lot slower than the enduro bikes but I think I could get used to it, as hooning down a lane scares the crap out of me now,also its a bit more interesting at lower speeds. And the road sections between lanes are now a thing of joy as the gs is mega comfortable..... we fiddled our way down to High Beach for a cup of tea and some cake then I blasted back up the M11 home in comfort even managed to wash the bike down, and with the slower speed and less mud cling it didn't take too long, and actually cleaned up quite well!!!! just need to buy a couple more " farkles" lol. Enjoy! (Hope the vids work!)

Video was spot on mate your such a cool rider smudged

Good bit of trailing and fording, well done.

I do think that you have your camera set to low. I know the sun was very low in some parts but you need it to be lined up to where you are looking, not just at the track in front of you.

Yep good point noddy, im getting a new helmet soon so will move the go pro further forward and tilt it a bit higher
