First short tide tonight off road.. Wow, I sound like a broken record... This bike is awesome. Tried the traction control on the dirt and then turned it off. WOW, how cool !!! The ABS (IMOP) in the dirt is flawless... In this post I dont want to get into why someone might need the ABS off.. In the dirt the brakes WORK... It was fun to have the traction control on and kinda pop the throttle and feel the software kicking in to keep the rear end from kicking out...
I'm really looking forward to several hundred miles off road................. what a machine !

Haven't ventured off road yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Yeah it's a good time. I've got adventures and slammed on the brakes in loose gravel to test it and to my surprise I came to a controlled stop. They really did the brakes right!

Glad you are having fun Tabasco :exclaim:

I'm off to Burke's Garden this morning. Going in on the dirt from the west and coming out on the dirt, across the Appalachian Trail, to the south. Never been on either road. Gonna be a blast. ;D

Hey Tabaso,

Good to hear that you finally have your bike and love it! You'll love it even more once you fit another exhaust, headers and PC V! I just had the Arrow headers fittes and it now runs like a speeding bullet!

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Kees

What did you think about how the lights perform Jax?
Stock? They are really good for stock.. I'm use to HID on all the bikes, its not the same.. lol I will prolly do the PIAA H7 soon.... Then probably go with some Clear Water LED....

I put the TC in mode 2 and cranked it on Sunday night when i was out at Bay Ocean, OR. The gravel was flying. >:D I had to slow down when deer started running across the dike I was riding on.

Tire Manufacturers are rubbing their hands in glee I am sure.

I can see Michelin releasing an Adventure tire called the Tenere Tragic Followed by the Tragic II shortly after. :D
