A quick ride out report

[Maverick]

Myself and Lootch went for an offroad bimble just to break the back of this week's tedious workload.

The equipment in question used - well what else than Africa Twins

So the idea was to race back after work and meet up at Lootch's house to drop the topbox, then try and get as little tar as we possibly could under the tyres untill sundown.

Of course the sun was setting faster than we could ride and after 30 mintues riding small tracks and testing the suspension mother nature decided to display her beauty in the sunset....

It times like this where you just realise how fortunate we are enjoying such a beautifull view with good friends on bikes we love

I am sure Ogri is missing his ex-bike now alot, pristine clean and offroad

And what would a set of AT's be without Maverick's own colour screen display

Did someone say TWin or Twins :mrgreen:

A good hour's riding taking pics and chit chat Lootch convinced me to do another round and which of course resulted in a few ruts claiming their prize

One moment we were slowly making our way through the grass the next I saw an AT side to side and then down

Never seen someone get up before the bike hits the ground before.....

Severe damage to the grass.......Just shows you how tought AT's really are

I love this new phone camera and it does have limitations but compact and good enough for a quick ride report!

Time to get home and call it the day....

Watching the sun go down on the horison and feeling much refreshed and unstressed

Great pics :D

I am looking for a flip up helmet and wondered what type this one is and how good?

That looks like a BMW helmet, and i have one too. If you get down to a dealer you might get one cheap like i did in Febuary as the System 5 is now out and they reduced the System 4.

It is indeed the System 4 BMW helmet and I absolutely hate it. The visor for some unknown reason would just unclip itself and then you can't close it. Definitely fit it before you buy it, if you have a odd shape head it won't suit you at all. Very noisy helmet.

It is nice for the flip up aspect but that's according to me is all. Luckilly I only paid about £90 for it and won't buy it again.
