Just over a year after passing my big bike test I noticed that a few of the guys who were on the training schools forum got into greenlaning. Some of them were vlogging and posting up on youtube. Inspired by this i decided to start saving and get involved.
I spent a lot of time researching the right bike and to do this i had to work out what type of offroading i wanted to do. Motocross, enduro, holiday trips only??? In the end i relised that i wanted to explore the countries green lanes. The trouble here is that i live in West Sussex in the UK where there are sod all lanes due to the local authority restricting access. This meant i needed a road legal machine with a full MOT, not just daytime MOT. Several models were possible, various Honda, KTM Exc, DRZ, Yamaha WR's... After working this out i struggled to get the money together and started the search on the usual websites. Known biker forums, Ebay, MCN, Biketrader, Friday Ad and Gumtree. It was a long search......
Im writing the first few blogs retrospectively. I will catch up in a few days or so then be blogging as i progress on this journey.
