Have you off-roaded your GS?

[BillBell]

I go to the hunting camp only when dry as soil is very bad gumbo( slick, sticky, or plain bad depending on just how damp)or down loging roads or gravel roads. We get alot of rain in LA.

Just got back from a trip down into Mexico, we rode in the Sierra Madre mountains close to the small town of Galeana. most roads were dirt or gravel just cut into the sides of the mountains, was some of the best DS riding i have ever done!!!

Love the GS off road!

Picking the thing up is bloody hard work.

Off road? No. I don't know what I'm doing. Dirt and gravel roads? Sure. Sandy roads... not if I know they're sandy when I start. I hate sand. Probably because I don't know what I'm doing.

almost 1/2 the distance traveled by this bike has been on dirt/gravel- etc
85000 km
on assorted type of tyres, tkc 80, dunlop 607 , mitas - e07/e08
deep soft sand the only problem, but we got through in time

Roads? Well tar is one way to get quickly to good tracks:

Nope. Also grew up on motocross, cross country and trials bikes. In my humble opinion, off road is a wee bit steeper, deeper and thrashing than what I would care to run a $20K+ GS through just for fun. Although I suspect that a GS might make a good mountain goat, berm-basher, or tree climber....it's still too new to risk a tank ding. I have an overwhelming urge to jump with it....anybody caught any good air on a GS? Think the suspension would detonate on landing? Any GS wheelie freaks out there?

By the way, the guy in the pic up to the jugs in mud is my GS hero so far.....the guy submarining the GS in the river is a close 2nd.

Thanks team
