What did you do with whatever else you've got?

Took Wug the Pug for a little bimble down the back lanes. Used to do this on the Fazer, much different in the car. It's not particularly fast, but it is challenging - I suppose green laning is similar for bikes? The roads are barely wider than the car, and often, the hedgerows mean you can't see much until it's on top of you. You end up driving between 2nd and 3rd gear a lot, often on the brake more than the throttle. The mud on the road means you have to be very ginger around corners, less because of speed, but because of making sure you can stop safely if someone appears in front and you need to stop sharpish (which I did have to do a few times. And on that surface, you only have to look at the brake for the wheels to lock up).

Course the clear straights mean you can then give it a little more welly. But still way under the national limit (which all these lanes are). Great fun, only lasted half an hour or so, but cleared out a few cobwebs.
