Here is where you notice the real meaning of being tall and sporty than small and belly. On the road even the smaller can make it on these giant heavy bikes but off road, where the ground-light changes and suddenly they have no way to touch with their short legs here is where the fun ends up all of a sudden. Or they are sporty and have gained enough tecnique to be able to get out the sh*t by standing up on the footpegs or they end up crashing and rolling around (funny and sad at the same time while watching).

It seems good to me to take an off road course and more for this type of heavy motorcycles, to have practice, to know and know its inertia and to lose fear. But driving this type of motorcycle focused more on the asphalt and less off the asphalt, this type of trail motorcycle is more designed for road use, and only some dirt track, which can take you to some point of interest on the trip, to get the photo.! Although many traveling bikers use them, so much electronics lost on dirt roads, it is not the most advisable. But to ride around the countryside in every way, the best are lighter bikes and 100% Enduro bikes.

@SurfnPics 2 жыл бұрын

what a great vid Steve, it really showed what this course was all about. Though a Vicco, when I get my GS850 at the end of the year I reckon I'll book the NSW course. I notice you have a Navigator VI. what do you think of it as there as so many negative reviews.

Great work again Steve. Big improvements on your hill climbs. Vision vision vision.... So true. The stalled rider was a problem on the second run because you looked at them and got drawn into their drama. Which in turn makes it your drama by losing your momentum. Hard to do but clocking the obstacle, then switching vision left or right will see you maintain momentum and glide on past. Hope to see you on some future adventures.

Somehow taking my $25K r1250GSA that I absolutely love, and trying to ride it like a Enduro Machine does not make dollars and cents to me. Any machine that's tips the scale @ 350 lbs or more fully loaded W/O rider does not qualify as a off road machine. Touring with a wee bit of dirt roads is what the machine is designed for and not much more. Just my opinion, but REAL MEN got to do what they got to do. BMW parts department loves you :-) Absolutely great video, loved it and found it educational. Much Gratitude for all the effort that you put into making it.
