Clearly proof positive that Clive is a real man not afraid of a bit of mud whilst the person riding the bike in the second picture is a big girlie scaredy pants who didn't like getting muddy 
....Oops - was it your bike in the second picture ?

Dahoum,, Hey now thats using your wits, 
Nice job but could the pattern be tranfered to say a stiffer material like fibre board etc ? or do you need the flexability?.

The smaller side sections could deffo be stiffer. The larger section needs flexibilty though as it bends round on the same radius as the small damper protector.
Cant see why they would need to be stiffer though. They do a really good job anyway as you can see from the pics.

As someone who has never had the b*lls to take the bike off road, I'd be fascinated to hear how you find it. What tyres do you use? How often do you drop it? Is it difficult to control? Just how strong do you need to be? Teach yourself or go to a school etc.
How about a decent long post to educate an (I'm sure) lot of other owners who are like me and have never tried anything other than dirty tarmac or the occasional dry field?

the only thing the 2 pics say to me is that the pressure washer doesn't need to go for quite so long in that slighty cleaner area.
Theres still tons of shite everywhere else that needs cleaning off

But you won't bust your battery or chip your shock with a jet-propelled rock

1 Its fantastic fun
2. Continental TK 80's
3. If you ask the others on here probably every time i go off road
4. No - it's just different.
5. You need to be stronger than me to not get well knackered after about 3-4 hours
6 I did the MBW off road course (links on here if you do a search) Best £300 odd quid i ever spent on a bike. having said that - its only 2 days and you get the basics. There's no substitute to actually getting off road and riding to learn.
good luck
1200GS Off Road
May I suggest that this is NOT the bike on which to venture off road for the first time! Personally I no longer venture into mud and filth and if I still had a craving for that there are plenty of little bikes avilable for about the price of the damage I could inflict on the GS.
Yes, I agree it is fun - but make sure you 1. can pick it up 2. afford to pay for the damage 3. put the telephone number of recovery/ambulance sevices into your (waterproof) portable.
And is a hugger really going to make the slightest difference to how filthy you and the bike will get?!
