WC off road day

[Magnon]

Very pleased to report we've had a great day out with Garry and the boys (12 of us in total) on and mix of big bikes including two KTM's, Triumph's and the balance being BM's from an x-challenge to GSA WC.

The weather forecast didn't deliver on the promised clear afternoon which would no doubt have given us some great views of the countryside we passed through but that did not take away from the fact we all had a good time learning how capable these bikes are once Garry had given us the benefit of his clear instruction and guidance

As I said great day and many thanks to Garry for arranging

We started with a bit of confidence building and controlling the bike at 0 MPH.

Then a few goes across the tyre to show how capable the suspension is and again to boost the confidence.

We then found a simple trail and did some emergency braking ( with and without ABS)

Hi Rob
The silver wheels are my spare set with off road tyres fitted, it came with black wheels which I use with road tyres on, lot quicker than changing tyres !!!
