Tight in places, good skills for such a heavy bike. Even the lil' bridge held out...
Bet he took the panniers off before hand or left them at the first tree.........Don't even think about it Joe! It is a lotta bike to pick up mate....

They are actually not that hard to ride reasonably fast in that sort of stuff, they feel just like a biggish trail bike (not surprisingly I suppose 'cause that's what they are) and you can get quite confident. The problem is that the consequences of a mistake are major...

Yep, have had one in the past.....I guess what I was trying to say was given the tightness of the trail, it would have been a pretty awful frikkin mess if he had coaught a log or two with the pegs of missed the braking.....Still, the camera was good as well. I gotta get me one of those HDPro wide angles.....nice. You notice that on the vid, his helmet never moved...lol

The R's longer legs would help with the ground clearance.

Time has come, I've been wipped, so I'm selling my 950 S. Baby has taken over life so no pillion anymore and not going to get away from home a for weekend long trips for a good while so selling the 950 for a 450EXC.

Aw that sucks. I'll swap you a tired blue Transalp and a pack of sparkles for it. Well, still better than Nordie's offer.

Hey Alex,whats the year and model of the new tranny you just bought?..

[Transalper]

It's a 2001 with 34km on the clock, super tidy and a good service history
