[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1201365, member: 27619"] I've mentioned this before, but now I have video (not me) showing the exact route I took this summer, well before people told me that an FJR couldn't (or maybe shouldn't) do that. Once I reached the point this video ends I could go no further. The road down the other side, that I needed to reach a bonus location, was closed. They only open it in August to protect the mountain, presumably from people on FJR1300s, ripping it up. The bike was new to me. This was the first long ride. It was heavily loaded and wearing PR3 tires. My main concern was a puncture, but really I was so busy keeping the bike upright and moving forwards that I didn't have much time to worry about anything. I did get quite a lot of interested looks from the drivers of Quad-bikes :) We made it, unscathed. Took about an hour out of my schedule but the fun (pucker) factor makes the memory worth it. Seriously guys, enjoy the video but don't try this at home [MEDIA=youtube]tLO2ZaMUv5o[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
