    Glad you’re not badly hurt. Looks like you need better tyres, crash bars and mirrors…and I really couldn’t put up with that radiator guard tbh 😀👍
    I look forward to the upgrade video😀

      Yes new mirrors ordered today, the crashguard and radiator guard will be coming off in the morning, twisted knee which you don't notice till your adrenalin drops but still great fun👍👍👍

    Excellent. I have a rule, I don't go down lanes that I don't know if I can turn around. In fact I avoid green lanes generally, I'm not fit enough. Entertaining as always mate

    Morning Paul, don't blame the tyres blame the mud 😅 nice seeing the Ship Canal and the toll bridge, but you should have taken Holly Bush Lane . The crash bars didn't do very well . The tool kit is behind the offside sidepannel, not under the seat. Nice one, Paul 😊

    I think the tyres let you down rather than your skill! Good to put the bike through its paces off-road though. Reminded me of the Baron Von Grumble video where he took his GSXR down a green lane.

    You would be better off with a husky 701 enduro or gasgas 700 es or even a KTM 690 r enduro with proper knickers on for the off road muddy paths if that's what you wanna do!like you say it's all good if your in your 20s or 30s but when you get to 60 better off on tarmac I'm 61 and used to do all the Motorcross stuff when young and loved it haven't done for years now not fit enough and like you say in your head you can do it but in reality them days are over and out my friend.good vid tho keep it up.

    Falling off hurts at any age! I find it know takes a lot longer to recover from the fall. Is a great little bike, I have not been off road since my motocross racing days (mid 80s).

      It was fun, but really to heavy, the ignition key is def in the wrong place, I think without the crash bars it could of snapped it, "yes I was in 80's 90's when I raced motorcross my mind thinks I can still do it, lucky I cant ride as fast🤣🤣🤣👍

    Got to say that at my age i never go off the black stuff and now i can see why that is a wise decision. In the dry you would have handled it but on wet soft ground your pushing it with road tyres.

    Owning a CL they are only marginally better on the rough stuff than a road bike, love the styling of a scrambler, but this attempt from Honda is more style than substance.

    • @birchwoodbiker
      @birchwoodbiker  27 днів тому

      100% it's not a off road bike, light gravell tracks but it's also to heavy hard to stand up on, and the ignition key is in the wrong place, but if it says scrambler we have to have ago👍👍👍

  • @MrB1967

    The slutchy mud can have it tucking even on full knobblies! Plus, it needs to carry a bit of speed, lighten the front a smidge and steer from the back, throttle and peg weight.. even then, offs are a fact of off road life in the wet. That Honda is too nice to crash 😍

    • @birchwoodbiker
      @birchwoodbiker  27 днів тому

      Yes agree it's not off road bike at all the NC is better, and tyres and slow speed were my down fall, but still enjoyed it, except the twisted knee suffering today, I'd love to get the cr300 and blast down there👍👍👍
