Adventure offroad with TT screen extender sat nav and full luggage

[Bendy toy]

Maybe he would have seen that muddy bog hole if he put the screen down low and chucked the TT extender. Maybe not. The Heidenau Scout K60 tyre wasn't much help but TBH what would handle that mud.

They don't do themselves any favours

I thought he was going to torch it and claim on the insurance when he started piling the sticks underneath

Excellent clip - well done you (and thanks for posting it)

He's very brave for going out there alone on 1/4 ton of one wheel drive vehicle. I liked his thoughts on offroading with side cases and he's debunked (m)any suggestions a GSA is too heavy to lift up.

Good find.

Good man and using the bike properly It's amazing where they can go.

Oops. The op is not the rider, I read it quickly at work :-(

Still very impressive though (And I don't think I'll be taking my GSA off road anytime soon).

point of order,its not a tt screen extender,looks like a wunderlich to me

If you're going to ride trails like that you need a 140kg trail bike with proper knobblies not a 280kg gravel road bike. He's just making life difficult for himself.

 

[SteveM]

I think he did well. And good luck to him

Nonsense

Regardless of the bike's alleged ability off road I think this guy proved just how capable they are. Yes he had to walk it through the mud but once stuck so would a smaller bike. Full knobbly tyres would have possibly avoided the problem but they are rubbish on road and probably illegal. The side cases and engine protection worked well and it looks like he had a great time. Its also looks easier to lift than most folks realise (including me).

I do feel the GSA screen with its restricted close vision is a bad idea for muddy trails. It's also very vulnerable in a fall-over crash if the screen hits a fence or tree. The screen breaks of course but the front and back supports get bent along with the beak subframe.

A Givi AF-330 with its removable top section would suit both jobs.

I don't think that clip does anything to show how capable these bikes are he may swell rode up on a z1300 and man handled that up i know from experience that once your momentum stops its hard to get going but id rather be on my 140 kg yam with knobbies than my lard arse gsa although id get up that trial on both
