Exploring Exmoor Green Lanes Part 2

[@kenbrooks7794]

Henceforth it shall be known as "Bear Lane"! 🤣 Hard to imagine cars going UP there isn't it? It was occasionally used on the Lands End Trial until the Lynmouth floods in 1952 took the bridge out and the replacement is too narrow for 4 wheelers. I was a tad unsure about taking you down there but you mastered it and came out smiling the other end, as always! One of my favourite memories of the past year is the pair of us on our hands and knees, picking our bikes up on that track onto the moor, Synchronised Crashing! 🤣🤣 Good vid as usual!

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

You know some brilliant lanes and trying to get that big 1250 down them has been all kinds of fun.

[@richtucker857]

Great content as ever!! Love it, usual question the lane with the thumbnail photo-where is that??

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

@richtucker857 thanks for watching. All the lanes are in the Lynmouth area. Scour the OS map and you should be able to find them.

[@HippoDrones]

Hahaha... well done on the first lane! 😀 .... ha.... and well done on the second wet soggy grass lane too! 😀

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

That first lane is a little like some of the ones we did the other week. Super wet, thick grass is not easy with my tyres

[@HippoDrones]

Yup@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures aye.. wet grass is a tough surface on a heavy bike... can be tricky on an enduro bike too!

[@oldwildandfree]

Awesome Marc, well done, fun video also. Great addition with the kids laughing. In the beginning I found myself ducking my head also🤣🤣🤣

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed that Steve. You’ve gotta laugh at your mistakes, hence the kids laughing. Ken does like to challenge me by leading me down some right dodgy lanes.

[@kenbrooks7794]

Your turn up there one day Steve. A bit of a drag from down your neck of the woods though, perhaps save it for spring when the weather's a bit better and the days a bit longer?

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

@kenbrooks7794 make sure you take the swear box for all the “kin els” 😂😂

[@kenbrooks7794]

@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures I'd need a bleddy Land Rover to carry the weight of the box!!

[@Saddlebags73]

Looked like a tricky drop down “Bear Lane”. Good work! I could almost feel the strain as you tried to stop your bike go down 💪🏼 I’d like to play up there sometime. Great vid again Marc 👍🏼

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

We should get the band back together aka, everyone who did Angel Steps that day. You, me, Mr Dave, ER and Ken.

[@Saddlebags73]

@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures that would be most excellent 😎

[@kenbrooks7794]

Yep, love to do that! I reckon It would be like herding cats though, to get everybody together! 😛@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

@kenbrooks7794 I will try and get something sorted for next year.

[@EpicAdamMotovlogs]

I haven't seen that much bush and heard that much grunting since I stole my dad's vhs collection in 1997.

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

I was trying to bring back those memories for you 😂

[@lilynorthover8378]

Bear lane? What about Drop Bike Lane? Seems appropriate. Nothing like a tussle with Exmoor. Entertaining viewing as ever 👏🏻

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

That would be every lanes name 😂

[@davidhawkins120]

Wonderful lanes Marc, we are blessed to have them so near, pity Adam doesn't join in🙂

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

There’s some great lanes up here. Adam keeps threatening to join in.

[@CuriousGoose]

These look like the best lanes so far. I refuse to believe Ken dropped his bike 😮

[@kenbrooks7794]

Ha, Goose! I usually stack it at least once during a day out but I normally manage to do it off camera! He got me bang to rights this time! 😆🙃😇

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

They’re brilliant lanes.

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Knowing when the camera is off must be a superpower of yours.

[@kenbrooks7794]

@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures SuperPower? Nah! Sending the camera bike off first usually serves me well though! 😁🤣🤣😇

[@ExeterCenturion]

Ken is a living legend! Amazing! Are all these on the TRF map?

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Should be. Check the OS maps too.

[@kenbrooks7794]

Hi mate, Yes, everything off the TRF Green Road Map. I've ridden these lanes for donkeys years simply by going out with others and committing them to memory but this year, (because i've been leading other folk around) I joined the TRF to make absolutely sure that i wasn't leading anyone into potential trouble 👍

[@ExeterCenturion]

Awesome, I'll have to look them up. It's really tricky as me and Steve were riding a lane which I thought wasn't TRO'd (Hambeer), but actually is because of crap sign placement, but it's only from one end! Talk about confusing!@@kenbrooks7794

[@UncleLongbeard]

it looks like the old GS is a bit easier to manoeuvre ;)

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

That’s cuz it’s 80kg lighter 😜

[@UncleLongbeard]

​@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures I know ;) even by looking at that bike you can tell that it's not massive ;)

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

@UncleLongbeard I’d definitely buy an R80G/S if I had the chance. But I’d still use the 1250 off road. Yes, I’m am that kinda crazy.

[@UncleLongbeard]

@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures I know a few people trying that but eventually each one swapped the bike for sth lighter

[@shuttlefish59]

That was a good video made me chuckle. Wondering how you mounted your go pro on the handlebar clamp?

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Mounted with magic 😁 It’s a RAM mount mate.

[@shuttlefish59]

@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures Is it specific? Did you tack out the hadle bar clamp bolt? I only have the d clamp thing and the handle bar is too fat there for it?

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

@shuttlefish59 “tack out”?? No, I removed the bolt and put the RAM mount in. Can’t remember the specific part number. Look on internet for handlebar RAM mount.

[@lanceharris669]

Are you asthmatic??

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Random question. But no.

[@exeterrider]

Ken falling off, about time too. Bootiful lanes again, sad to think they are trying to close them off and loose what we gain from them. Long may it continue 💪🙏

[@kenbrooks7794]

Oi You! I'll have you know that I didn't fall off, I was simply inspecting my sumpguard for damage! 😉😁😛

[@exeterrider]

@@kenbrooks7794 ahh I thought it impossible Ken. I was thinking at the time there is more chance of seeing you jump 20 buses than going horizontal. I hope the sump guard is OK 🤣👍

[@kenbrooks7794]

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

I’d like to see Ken attempt that
