    ERZBERG 2007 - preview

    Just got back from Austria where we raced the Erzberg Enduro... I'll write a report of the expediton in a few days, I'm in a rush right now!
    Only one thing: do it once in your life, it's a breathtaking experience you will never forget.

    Just a few pics as preview:

    My bike and team shirt, she came back without a scratch!



    Preparing for the twins Konigsklasse race, the Iron Mountain is behind us.





    Konigsklasse race 1 on thursday afternoon, I race up the Iron Mountain for the first time!

    A picture for the calendar if ever I saw one!
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    No problem Sohoeasy, the improvement is excellent, just don't expect to turn the AT into a motocross bike, it's still too heavy!
    I'm 100 kg and they are a bit soft but I decided to keep them that way because they are nice and comfortable over anything but the harshest terrain.
    Keep in mind that guys were racing the Erzberg on std forks and finished better than me, the right grip still matters more!

    Thanx Breeze,Well I think for a number of very sensible reasons, I can put those USD's on the back burner (But I WILL have to avoid any more pics of your machine )
