Pardon me while I relax my sphincter. I can't imagine ever getting that confident on dirt. Nice riding. :eek:

They really do well in the dirt for such a beast. Nice power wheelies.

Now, add bowling ball sized rocks and do it again. ::018::

It will do the same in gravel that is not deep, very controllable. Doesn't do big jumps tho, well maybe once. :))

Looks like fun to me. That's what I love about this bike, it's a 1200cc touring bike that does stuff like that video with no fuss or drama. I could not be happier with my purchase. Thanks for the video. ::012::

Fun Stuff!!!

Did I detect a misfire? Seemed to skip a beat every so often. If Blue Eyes had a Black ST, that would never happen and the camera couldn't keep up.

Just sayin" ::025:: ::025::

I think he's in TCS2, so that's the engine cutout. TCS2, BTW, makes those kind of tricks relatively easy to do.
