Hi All
Ok having just got the Vstrom a couple of weeks ago and last week doing
mostly tar riding and a bit of off road ( damn scary mind you )
The Pom and I decide we need to practice some dirt riding ;-)
Ok so somebody on the forum posted a link to some dirt riding tips,
Which I printed out - Available here for anyone to read
https://www.flamesonmytank.co.za/offRoad.htm
Ok so we needed some level dirt, nothing to scary and decided to go to
the Ruimsig stadium and see if we could go find somewhere to play ;-)
Well we took my youngest son along on his 80cc Super motard Derbi so
we could play as well. Well here are some of the results
Oops sorry first pic is of my fiance Chams "baby" which is looking
at trading in on a DL 650
Ok Pom learning to gas it and keep the bike upright and getting the feel
of the dirt
Ok in the dirt and watching Steven having fun on the Derbi (Full Road Tires)
Here is me learning to corner in the dirt and trying to power slide
Ok now this is where it really start to get fun, getting a lot of respect
for the Vstrom and really staring to enjoy this "off road" thingy
Pom in the air
Happy in the air
All in All a lot of fun was had by all , and getting more confidence on
the dirt. Can really recommend the off road link above for all other
newbies - See you all soon
Thanks
