None of us have a clue how to do this …

The really good bit about the Plain is that the terrain ranges from nice wide loose surfaces to rutted tracks. The views are good too. Something for everyone I think so comfort zones can be prodded with a pointy stick rather than smashed with a sledge hammer.

It would be good if you could find a quite area to practice some slow speed manoeuvres like figure eights and back brake slides.

love to craig, if you explain how to do all that with CBS and ABS? :dry:

Well with linked brakes it will go like this. :laugh:

Good on you all for thinking about popping yer cherries. You will love it. Trail fever will soon be taking over.

I cant make it, on a family holiday end July, otherwise I would have enjoyed the rideout.

So have fun....and remember lots of photos.

Here's some tips......

1) Find the person who looks the most unstable (when I go riding its normally AckAckFlack!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ). Keep your camera close to hand and ride behind them. When they go down, try and hold the laughter back and get that camera out. Then, and only once you have taken a photo, park your bike safely and slowly walk over. By that time....(unless they are AckAckFlack..he just stands there waiting for help) they should have already picked their own bike up saving you the effort.

2) Once the "wobbler" has been identified ride in front of them and drag them to a nervous speed. Then keep an eye in your mirrors for the impending crash.

3) Again, ride infront. Try and build up a decent distance infront. Then after you have gone up / through / over technical bit. Park up, get the camera out and find a suitable spot for the impending fall.


Enjoy.

See what I have to put up with. When he rode an Africa twin he was nice but since this KTM he has turned.
Tramp whe you are next out with this beddows fella make sure he goes though the deepest puddle possible
