The coaches were giving you good advice... adding just another 3 to 5 mph would really smooth the bike out. Wee bit of added forward speed would really make that trail a lot easier. (And I mean a lot.) Lots of er... 'modern' fully 'electronic' throttle bikes don't like to be ridden very slow... go too slow and they are 'clunky'.
and thats why Im doing this...its on me and my lack of trust...I know what you mean on all the above....its about actually trusting myself to do it...but more to come as you will see hopefully...ha! - thanks for the comment
It’s all fun Yet it would be more fun on a KTM 300. 2 smoke!! I installed a Sicass lighting kit, got it registered, so now I ride it on the street, dirt, SuperMoto wheels gets me to track days while some ice tires ( Canadian screws) gets me on the ice Just an alternative thought… Keep riding
Called Suzi to let her know she was on the tube, I stopped while doing the BDR x where you camped and ran into Brock Gill and crew, come on back down I'll take you on some more good stuff
You are a tough guy for sure. Don’t be hard so hard on yourself. It’s amazing what you’re doing😊
Your courage, persistence and perseverance never cease to impress me! Keep it going!
Could be worse... It's showing here and I'm inside watching you 😀. Nice work, keep it up and thanks for sharing.
Tom is one patient and calm dude!
We’re about the same age. I’m getting into adventure riding as well. To quote Sgt Murtaugh “Lethal Weapon”. “I’m getting too old for this schitt!”😂
Damn! Nice ride!
Great video! You and your clutch got a great workout. 😂
@@OlsonADV unfortunately yes..ha
😂 I would not have wanted to be on your bike Matt! 😊
