Tell me more! Did you get to the top of anything? Looks like an awsome ride. I'm seriously jelous and pissed that I missed it.

Seriously into the picture of the three bikes crossing the scree slope. Is that the track up to Olympus Skifield?

Bring on the vid TA.

Cheers R

you guys obviously had fun - I salute you all - specially those of you with Dakars (I had one, great bike but like my 1150 very heavy) - those trails look gnarly - specially where the XChallenge decided it was time for a lie down - is it a demonstrator? Cheers Aslan

Those are the type of downhills that put the shits up me.


One advantage of my XR250 over the DR650 is I can almost get both knees on the ground at the same time.
Shocks may be due for a rebuild - It has been 28 years since the last time they were done.
