    We rode it again on Saturday, in blue skies. I've passed it before in rough weather and sideways rain but never had grip issues. That first climb where you dropped it is a bit of a wall, I expect it would need a bit of momentum on the Monkey. Always best to hang back to let people clear each bit to avoid these situations.

      I made a rookie mistake ( after 40 Years of riding), I stopped whilst a car with spinning wheels went further up the hill on Hardknott. Then instead of taking a run up I tried to make my way up, but was going too slow. I stopped , then slid backwards before tipping over. My Boot was caught on the footrest and I was dangling down the hill….but this is why we ride…VIVA

You sound like you don't need much inspiration already, but I just love this little 4min vid which really hits home how important it is to have your adventure goal, ..do it now rather than years down the line, and experience the true fulfillment of exploration and travel. I also have one of these bikes and its maxes at 25mph but I smiled more on it then my old 900 sports to chopped it for a monkey and found your channel and never looked back, cheers! viva!

    The "Ramp" at 11.52 is a threshing tool. They have been around since the Iron age, and were extensively used in england. Wheat is laid on the floor and the board was placed on top. You would stand on the board flints down and a horse would pull the board along. It would separate the grains from the stalks and was highly efficient in its day.. I could go on....
