    Interesting finish, I was hoping to see you go along the rocky decent at the other end. 😊

      Hey up offroad3607, that's in part 2 😲 the rocky section, the bit that puts everyone off, sounds like you've done it, imagine if that section was flat, it wouldn't be a issue 🤔, some look at it then turn around, thanks for dropping a comment much appreciated, ride safe Simon B 😎

    I used to catch the high beam switch with my finger too 😂

      Hey up Dex, it's really annoying, especially when you are behind a car, they think your being inpatient 🤭, thanks for watching and dropping a comment much appreciated, ride safe Simon B 😎

    Thought you'd come a cropper at the end!

    Need to get down there and get some of those lanes ticked off. Nice vid.

    I found that gear problem on the 790. My 990 was similar, it needs a hefty boot.

      Hey up, it's not really a hefty boot, it feels like it's just not there, two gears missing, like a bowl of jelly it's awful 😲, thanks for watching and dropping a comment much appreciated, ride safe Simon B 😎

    They’re great roads Simon, is this last weekend given the snow and ice this past week?

      Hey up southwest, this was filmed end of November 😲, had it in the bag for sometime, some film on Saturday and release on Sunday, you need stuff in the bag, in case of weather breakdown work, some forward planning to be a UA-camr 😁, ride safe Simon B 😎

    I live not too far from the coach road and have been trying to pluck up the courage to give it a go. Would you recommend it for a green laning first timer on a crf300 rally or something else? You make it look very easy even on a big bike, wouldn't have dreamed of taking my tiger 800 on it!

      Hey up mst, nearly 4 years of riding off road every weekend has enabled me to make it look easy 😉, time on the bike is what it's all about, the 300 L are ok but a little heavy, I'm going to do a video on the best starter bike for green lanes , get a cheap dirt bike and ride it , if you need any help DM me on my socials, happy to help, ride safe Simon B 😎
