Greenlanes in Sussex

[MikeSinnis]

Hi guys,

Does anyone go out greenlaning in Sussex at all ? Im new to laning, and I have a Yamaha Raptor road legal quad (that I have off road wheels and tyres for) and a Sinnis 250 Supermoto that I have offroad wheels for. I know, from what Ive been told there are some good greenlanes out near Horsham - but Im new to it all.

Any help appreciated.

I just want a bit of sunday action

I believe that there are more lanes in East Sussex than in West Sussex, and that some of them are quite slippy and chalky when wet.

I've have not ridden there since I was a teen. Where Tesco's is on the A27 in Shoreham there used to be some fields we'd play in, the local farmer didn't care, as long as we didn't go anywhere else.

The TRF have quite a large presence in Sussex. Think a lot of people ride into Surrey too?

I have a 250 Apache and a 250 Retro star.

I say wheels - what I have done is bought TKC Continental MX tyres for the stock rims. (They both use the same rim)
The Apache was a sample we bought in and is Carb not Efi (Which I prefer as I like a bit of back yard tinkering at times) so its a one off.

They both have the same engine only the Apache is oil cooled. To be honest I prefer the retro250 off road, as its lower centre of gravity is good for people like me who havent got perfect balance. But like I say that is just a personal thing.

This is a pic a customer sent me the other day at Salisbury. Odly, my bike is pretty much exactly the same. Stripped of anything extra.
Tyres in the stock rim size are hard to get, but I have a trick to get around this by using two rear tyres. it makes no difference at all - and is great off road on mud etc as expected.

That bike is disappointingly clean.

If offroading around Salisbury Plain then this is a fun place to go: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.2432709,-1.6895395,1204m/data=!3m1!1e3

Technically it's a tank driving course rather than a legit right of way but seeing as the army drive tanks around there, the chances of a bike doing any damage or bothering anyone are slim.

Sinnis should make a 250 Blade.
