Spent 10 minutes chatting to a farmer while his sheep did the opposite of what he wanted:

Re: An excellent day in Dorset
Then it got pretty:
Then I got lost in a maze of forest where one legal route went in and 10 blocked routes came out. Had to do some serious off roading in here. The TKCs are pretty good after all.

I recognise the forest, yes there lots of tracks in there. How did you find the 650 on the trails?

Next up was this ace river crossing. I got a cheer from a group of ramblers when I crossed. I think they would have cheered louder if I fell in.

What a lovely place.

Re: An excellent day in Dorset
The coast path was brilliant to start with.
And then it turned to deep gravel.

Re: An excellent day in Dorset
It got worse and worse and I could tell it was hurting the bike but riding solo I had to carry on.
Pebbles filled the locked the rear shock and we're getting stuck in the chain. By the time I was free the poor thing had a little oil leak

Re: An excellent day in Dorset
Screen is ok, I mounted the satnav up there which worked well. I won the 650 one off ebay so will be trying that when it comes.
Bike needs lowering pegs so I fit on it properly. Also the foot levers are too close to the pegs. I think the head bearing needs changing too as changing direction feels weird. Off road it's ok. Those wide wheels really help and the power gets you out of trouble. however the 350 is way better in every way apart from on the big roads.
I have my licence back while my appeal goes through.
