Here's my off-road video from yesterday, although it ended with a crash, there were lots of good testing during the day.

- The rear hand brake works well.
- The cable tie to secure the rear brake on temporary stops (especially slopes) works brilliantly. Just stick the bike into Neutral, off you get.
- The Side Stand switch deletion works great, as now you can stick your side stand down and retain all the settings and keep the engine running.
- The Altrider high fender kit works well, and didn't smash off in a crash. All good.

Enjoy

Some pictures of the bike once I'd got it home... however, I've not been able to get near it for a week, while my cracked ribs and muscles repair.

Some crash scratches added to it's portfolio :blast :D

What I'm particularly impressed by is the strength of those Kriega OS-6 side bags.

They've taken a beating and no-rips or damage :bow HOW !! :bow

I've also bought a new replacement windscreen which will be fitted next week, and another camera to go on the rear. So front and rear view next time :D

Bike took it all like a CHAMP :cool:
 
Looks like you crashed on the easiest bit!

That, is EXACTLY what happened :blast

I wasn't looking down, I was looking 100 yards ahead and didn't see the 90 degree rut edge that had appeared underneath me... front wheel caught it and threw me off !!

Dug up some unseen footage from October 2019, if you want to watch my Africa Twin, some BMW's and KTM's slopping through the UK countryside :D
