"BMW R1200GS Adventure meets Mr. Mud in the forest" or "Shit! It is slippery and the ABS has kicked in big time 
"
Went on another forest ride with my buddy Oddbjørn today. He picked up a loaner Buell Ulysses at the local HD dealer for the day. We took a small dirt road up to a nice lake and had a rest and took some pictures of the bikes. After a while we went down the road again, I did some inspired riding standing on the pegs and having loads of fun until trying to slow down for a right hand turn. What the
! Is it that slippery here? It felt as if I had no brakes at all! Major panic for a couple of seconds... I can affirm the following to be true: You end up where you are looking. I had a look at the mud, the rocks and some logs by the roadside and I ended up right there
Lessons learned: Shut off ABS in the forest and don't go that fast.
Damages: My pride, scratched valve cover protector, bent upper windscreen bracket, broken lower windscreen fastener. I guess I was pretty lucky after all.
