    Anyone else had their sat nav take them on a green lane? It wasn't a very rough green lane just lumpy with rocks the size of grapefruits but the blade did fine for the 2 miles between tarmac surfaces. Think I will stick to green lanes on my KTM though as its more fun.

    I have my sat nav (tomtom rider 410) set to not use unsealed roads.

    2 days later it took us through a ford which was about 8" deep in the middle over cobbled stone. The blade was 1 of only 3 bikes that didn't kick its arse out going over the slippery cobbles. Maybe that was down to me not being fazed by crossing it, tyres or a combination of all 3. Anyway it added a bit of fun to an otherwise dull stretch of road.

    If you blindly follow your satnav it's a good job you're on a blade and not driving a juggernaut lol.
