well this ride happened as planned. The track was challenging especially for those of us who sometimes allow our fear to limit us. As evidence of this my fallen eleven fifty when I slipped on a cambered single track 😳


This ride in the company of 2 Dakars, 5 DR650's, an Airhead (two up), an HP2 and a KTM 540EXC reinforced to me what a challenge the big GS can be in less fully competent hands.

As always the scenery made it all worth while along with good company and lots of fun pushing oneself hard in the gravel sections.
