Exactly. Sadly there are people around who will stop at nothing, but we can at least make them more difficult to steal.

It's like someone I know had a new ifor Williams trailer on his drive, he always kept it with wheel clamps on, and the one time it was left without clamps for a couple of hours, some low life scum took it straight off his drive in daylight!

Lovely little island we live on!!

Bring back the gallows.

I'll be ordering some clamps soon then

As a bystander interested in all things landy, I take it that laning doesn't get covered by insurance does it or do you take out a conditional policy ?

Most insurers cover green laning as you are technically on a public highway. Good luck getting the RAC to come out to you though

Yeah, better to be safe than sorry!

Have you got some pics of your series?

Good to know!

I'm guessing that's why you should never go laning alone

Dunno, I've been laning a few times on my own, you've just got to know when to turn around

I know a fair few lanes in North Wales that are fine to do on your own depending on the condition of your vehicle

Yeah I'm guessing it's ok if you are experienced and have the necessary kit for if anything does go wrong. But knowing my luck I'd end up stuck with no phone signal

It's currently spread around the house, back garden and shed. The chassis is solid and I'll get it galvanised along with the bulkhead and front rad panel. I've bought a pair of galv doors and door tops but I've got a discovery to sort and now two mopeds to mot for my lads ....

Best way to stop someone nicking it i guess...

I wasn't ever allowed a moped. Always wanted an old enfield or bsa bike.

And I'm waiting for another day to play

Nothing that exotic, aprilia 50cc and a yamaha cygnus 125

The 125 is fuel injected and has got a bit of poke

It's only a 5 hour drive away what's the problem

Had to show the defender drivers how it's done

Trench Rat · Mar 8, 2018

Haha, slower, clunkier and with more cursing.
