You called?

Sounds perfect - get some more of those and you'll have a route worth riding.

:thumright:

PS. GS? KTM? WTF are you on about? Everyone knows they're rubbish. The ideal bike on roads like that is a 1998 ZX6-R.

Re: AR2013 Chat Thread
 

Agreed, you don't need those for off roading. A road bike does it just as well, i've done partial off roading on the SV and a few fords. It is the kind of stuff that makes a rideout much more interesting!

Re: AR2013 Chat Thread

We did bimble about on the south downs first. Not through choice. Stu just kept misreading the sat nav.

Re: AR2013 Chat Thread
 

In all seriousness, the first version of the route was about 50% off road. No more than a foot of useable Tarmac available at any one time. We've now reduced that to 45% so we're not completely taking the ****.

You're going in the wrong direction! Gravel, mud and standing water improve a rideout route immeasurably.
