    I had an R100T. I just got re-licensed, and have a CRF300Rally on my list, so I can learn to go off road with confidence: basically I can learn how not to drop the bike by dropping the bike too much (see IRC Tire Guy) before I get a new, big bike. Didn't you have a hard time on the track, so this time may I suggest making the skill building fun, goofy, and REWARDING (More smiles than frustration). just an idea...

    If you want to ride a lot of different bikes, come to the Hiawatha Rally in Money Creek, MN, every May. BMW, of course. Leo's South brings a bunch of bikes for 30 mile test rides. For free. Grest ridinf in the Driftless Area, too!

  • @thomaslubben8559
    @thomaslubben8559 21 день назад

    As for RT vs GS, ive ridden both a lot. Tough decision. I'd go with the GS only because i think for me, the more nimble nature would put me in the saddle more often. But they're both fantastic. I think a GS can do 98% of what and RT can, and then add a whole lot more the RT can't do. If you look at the Iron Butt Rally bikes, there's more GS in the top 20 thsn RT. Which shows that for folks that want really, really put miles on, it's the GS that is top. I think in the long haul, the Gs weight makes it ever so slightly, only slight, less fatiguing.

    Friggin Awesome!! I'm getting back into riding, and men need to "flip the equation"-- that A) you are doing what the boys can't imagine doing (taking full sized touring onto the track and pushing it!) and B) that women are doing it "alone"- that it's much harder to do things when you don't have people that "see what you see". So, yeah, you did something AMAZING! PS a great quote "The antidote for intelligence is testosterone" So if you ever wonder why you hold back more, it's because the guys minds simply don't work as well ;)😁

      @@melissasmotorcycleadventures Have you ridden one yet? I have similar stats as you and find myself falling back to the rt. I have bought 4 bikes this year and the rt is just so good you forget how good it is. I haven't been on anything close to as good as driving the heat away from you as the rt. I can tell you that I had worse leg pain then you did when I started riding. I thought it would be questionable if I could even ride long term it was so bad. I just kept pushing on, and added some yoga into the mix and it is so much better. Have you thought about just getting a second bike that could open up your options? I just got a klr 650 2 weeks ago, and absolutely love it. I have been hitting the dirt, and it is a little older so I don't mind wrenching on it and learning as I go... unlike the bmw. With your tall frame, maybe it could be a good pick. Don't sell the RT! I just found the channel :D
