Can these lanes get any smaller? The Royal Enfield Classic 350 finds out

Betsy you’re at it again, but can these lanes get any smaller? The Royal Enfield Classic 350 finds out.
Have you ever wondered what’s down that lane? Out today and Betsy decided she wanted to play in the mud, and worse, again and headed to some of the smallest lanes we have seen so far. Even a close call with a cyclist didn’t put her off.
It took me ages when I got back to clean her, she’s worth it though.
Grab your cuppa and let’s ride.
Ride safe,
Dave

    Beautiful places you have to ride. I’ll never get over those stone fences you have. The man hours building them must be enormous. Thanks again for another enjoyable video

    Eyup Dave. It is nice to get lost around the lanes of Derbyshire. Thanks for the video and enjoy your retirement. I can thoroughly recommend it.

    It's a good job I was on the bike and not in the camper, he would have had more than a shock! I just wish drivers and riders coming to a blind bend would slow down in case the road is blocked. I still love riding them, ride safe, Dave

    A great ride around. You managed to find some lanes that were on the narrow side, lol. The cyclist was very fortunate it was you & on a motorcycle coming the other way, or he would have come a cropper!

    Stunning scenery, I never get tired of riding in the Hope Valley and have been over there many times on both my Himalayan and camper van. I would like to find those narrow lanes at the beginning of the video and make a circular tour.

    Nice ride again Dave, as you say , you've just got to be warey of drivers that drive as if they expect no one else to be around the next blind bend, just bloody stupid! Apart from that it's enjoyable getting lost around the lanes on a Classic 350 ! 🙌👍 Cheers Mel

    It's a good job you weren't a couple of hundred miles south, Dave; my brother-in-law goes tearing around blind corners on lanes like those in his SUV. Anyone on a bike would stand no chance! 😒

    Love the videos and the interesting places that you visit. I also love that you give us a bit of 'Historical info' along the way. A quick question, and apologies if I have missed previous answers. What set up are you using for the over the shoulder filming. Is it a 360 camera on a pole fixed to bike ?? I'm using a Helmet Cam and get fed up with the images moving around so much every time I move my head . !! Thank You in anticipation..

    Hi, it's a GoPro 11 mounted on the side of my helmet. The stabilisation is fantastic. For the sound I have a very cheap mic in the helmet that fits into the GoPro sound adapter. I'm thinking of doing a video about how I film and edit the vids, do you think it would be interesting/ useful Ride safe, Dave

    Look at all the potholes. For what you pay for road tax in England the roads should be in pristine condition.

    Hi, there are lots of roads that are only single track. They have passing places where you can pull in to let other traffic pass, including traffic following. We have a code over here that if you are on a pleasure ride and see another vehicle following that wants to go faster we pull in and let them go. Ride safe, Dave
