Default Thinking about giving up biking.

And doing some 4x4 Xcountry and green laning.
I know a couple of few on here do it... So tell me what's the big Buzz?

go for it. you only live once and if that's what how you want to get your kicks then bash on

landys are good fun but you can become obsessive about them like any old car they become friends.

Richie, take up green laning but on a bike, best of both worlds, it's a great laugh, If I'm honest I prefer it to road riding.

Safer too
