    Ok Charlie, I was wrong, you obviously do itchy boot-ish stuff - respect. Maybe you will be better off with a Himalayan. Looked like a lot of fun!!

    Well done you. Bet you ached afterwards, but go sooo much out of the day. Those off road days are really good for improving your bike skills, and help gain confidance, you fell off and laughed it off, got back on and off again. There will be no stopping you now. Just look how far you have come on your 2 wheeled adventures .

    I used to do trail riding years ago, every Sunday. I was just like you when I started, but then one day it all snapped into place. The one thing that all motorcyclists should do is learn to ride off road (legally). It teaches you control in a way that tarmac never will. It saved my life once when instinct kicked in. You did well for a first outing, very well indeed.

    well done, falling off with the throttle open, picking yourself up and going again, confident, most of all laughing even on the ground, great effort your a natural. As a moderately experienced trail/adventure rider the first lesson of ABC I suggest to others is Attitude-ticked, B is Bite point of the clutch , learn it, 0ne or two fingers on it permantly, practice it on the road, feed it in feed it out go as slow as you can, practice, practice every t junction, traffic lights, car parks , most trail falls are slow speed, the clutch is your saviour. If your ever in need of info for routes road or trail or you ever find your way down in SW Wales I would be happy to show you around a few of the lesser known roads or trails. See/contact me on the ABR forum as bikenav, I have been bandaged once or twice by the Guys and Gals in green, so more than happy to return the favour. Good stuff, Keep at it.

    Well Charlie I take my hat off to you girl, you done well. I sensed you felt more confident knowing the bike was smaller engine and the bike was lower to the ground too. Laughing when you fell off tells me you had a ball. I wouldn't start thinking about what bike just yet let the mucky weekend sink in first, there is no rush always tomorrow. Great video again keep smiling and ride safely.

    Really well done! Aeons ago, when I went on my first off-road course there was a girl in our 25-30 strong group, riding an old, high Honda500SR that only had a kickstart (we were all using the bikes we had ridden there on). She was a tad over 5 feet tall. At the end each of our stops she pushed her bike beside the nearest big rock or tree stump (we were riding forest trails near Stockholm), climbed on the bike and stood with her left foot on the rock and then kickstarted with her right foot. Then off she went with a grin from ear to ear all day, a joy to see.When she stopped at a junction she slid her bum (derrière?) to one side so she could reach the ground with one foot. She was a superb rider and put us all to shame. As I rode the 170 miles home I had plenty of time to ponder how crap I was. Still am, but I have fun😉
    PS Takeaways: (1) Ride what you can afford - the girl was a student at uni, and (2) any shortcoming (pun intended) can be overcome.
    PPS Glad you experienced the necessity for full protective gear🕊️
