In response to that I took my Innova down to Yeovil (100 mile return journey) just to do a lane I had seen a while ago. I think it’s called Bradford hollow and it’s a sweet short lane carved through the rock. It didn’t disappoint and my non-adventure bike made it through perfectly 👍

Godspeed!!!.... You should know by now that you can't have an adventure without £20k bike 😂😂😂
And all the gear to go with it.....
Cracking pictures 👍🤟🤟

I already had one like these but these wee boyos were built by a few friends a few years back and seldom used.
Both 140cc and sensibly modded,always good cheap fun in the sun for local adventures.
More small bikes purchased recently. 140s and sensible mods for fun.

Spent a few hours riding some of the byways south of Bristol.
I almost got taken out by 4 guys on their 2 stroke KTMs who were egging each other on around one particular byway. Hate to think what would have happened if I’d been on a horse....

Don't get into horses for goodness sake. You'd might as well just tear up £10 notes every few minutes.

I prefer Godspeed on his mod steed.
