I hadn't considered doing an LDT until I saw a monkey bike on that list, quite tempted now.

Just no way my Honda is going there! Pub is its furthest so far…

Very nice, and I can see why you'd want to keep it that way. Mine is just a Chinese copy and it's showing its age a bit, I'll strip it and rebuild it at some point but as it stands I'm not overly concerned about dropping it. I've changed a few bits since this pic and I'd need to change tyres and exhaust to do a LDT.

Agreed, a really good writeup

I wish they did those sorts of events here!  The closest thing nearby is an off-road orienteering event, but it's done almost exclusively with enduro bikes so wouldn't suit a pootler like me 😅

Ditto - great story and sounds like a great day out. Chequer plate for the bash plate is a good innovation!

I’d always wanted one and bought new as a Japanese import in 2003. Love a monkey bike!
