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

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
