Some years we’ve traveled down to Greece to watch my brother compete in the Serres rally, in that Rally there is a guy from South America who competes in the big bike class on a gsa. Now I’m not saying he is as good as the rider in the video, but he completes the rally ( usually wearing shorts ) and generally gets on the podium. ( in his class) it’s just amazing what can be done on a big bike if you have a bit of skill.
After the rally he straps his camping gear on his bike and sets off to Spain or Portugal ( in his shorts) to hitch a ride on a boat back home.
