    Have we got any greenlaners on here? Always fancied a go, especially with having motocross bikes for years.

    If so what bikes and kit do you use?

    I like the DRZ good solid bikes and cheep as chips to fix when you brake them too. Got all the MX kit already so I am tempted.

    Saw somewhere people doing scooter cross, cheep c90s or Peugeot scooters with knobbly tyres on, not fast but looked good fun
