yesterday I rode that same lane again, the puddle I dropped it in is at about 3.30 (I think)

I know some here comment on how slow I am , but this for me was fast, fastest I've ridden this lane before, slowed down for the killer puddle though.  |

Don't worry too much about speed on a green lane. Like in that video, there were a pair of walkers coming the other way, imagine doing 50MPH down there on slippy mud, with compromised road legal knobblies and typical trailie brakes, not good.
But pay and play sites, they're a different matter. I find myself repeating my mantra. "You have no skill, make up for it with balls." Then I can attempt to keep up with far better riders than me, to a point, I then lose control and come off due to crappy body positioning and finesse. My logic being that skill will come with crashes. ____________________ Current:1991 Honda MT50 (Soon to be a H100/MTX/MT5 hybrid), 1976 Honda Cub C70, 2005 Honda Varadero 125, 1993 Yamaha TTR250 Open Enduro , 2010 Road Legal Stomp YX140, 1994 Honda CRM 250 MK III, 1999 Cagiva Mito 125, 1992 Honda CB400 Super Four, Stomp T4 230, 1984 Honda H100s, 2009 Sym XS125K
