missed the best parts of the ride.. camera is off an on as it likes it seems -

best bit is the vine in my face at about 2 mins

oh and the romantic stroll on the beach with my american mate

Dense undergrowth!

Do you have to form the track yourself or do the paths already exist?

What is the other bike?

other bike is AR

I made some paths my self - but those are what walkers have made.. unfortunatley he camera cocked up on the best bits - a great lane with berms - and a mountain switchback trail'

thats not really dense undergrowth tho actually!

dense trail an home made track starts at 1 min in

actually have extended this a load more recently - an I think I will have another 2km in the next couple of weeks I hope! found an old trail thats over grown - jus needs an afternoon of hackin!

I see what you mean about narrow overgrown paths! I wonder whether you ever run into any walkers?

I reckon your first, second gear and clutch must take a hammering but engine sounds sweeter than mine.

What sort of temperatures are you riding in also is the humidity high?

not too bad now - winter is 10 or 11 degrees

summer ( may onwards ) lookin at 88 % humidity temperate ranges from 30 - 35 degrees.. an heavy showers

not so many walkers in summer... havent really bumped into any on the trail - but it is possible - I see they have been there - by the dropped bottles tissues food wrappers - asians in general arent very particular about where they put rubbish...

more likely to bump into wildlife - mostly wild boar an great big friggin spiders - the occasional monkey / deer hopefully no snakes tho...

and yeh its all about 1st an 2nd gear... very rare to get into 3rd..

wales looks nice! i saw a couple of youtubes - got any good ones to watch? wouldnt mind plannin my holiday

Yes there are some great trails in Wales
