They do seem to be using a bit more of the road than they are entitled to :shock:

Didn't see any particularly remarkable riding there.
Perhaps I missed it

Riding 'off road', on road tyres is a feat in itself but she wasn't messing about round that last corner and not many blokes would do that speed, round that corner, on that bike :wink:

Agreed....I know more than a few who wouldn't feel comfortable riding like that on those dirt tracks (I wouldn't!). They're both good riders. :D

People who tackle off road on those humungous and heavy 1200GS's impress me.
The 9T is low and compact, and whilst not a true off roader, should still be fairly easy to hussle on the dirt tracks,

Riding a big boxer on a trail like that is impressive, but I can't imagine it being much fun compared to riding a real offroader.

IMHO Modern "scramblers" or "adventure bikes" are really just for Dirt roads not offroad. I'd hate to be riding one around the paddock or up a mountain.

Round the back of my loca dealers there's a steep grass bank that's about 6 meters.
I wasn't there, but I heard that one of the guys got a 9T scrambler up there in one hit.
Now that is impressive.
May not sound like much, but if you saw that bank you'd be impressed too.
