Had to check out this gravel road!

Two friends of mine are riding two wheelers and last time we met they talked about this nice dirtroad they explored.
One of them also made a video he shared and today I had to go check it out for myself. They will be surpirced I did it on my Spyder, they tend to underestimate(spellcheck) the Spyders abilities ;)
Anyway, here is a video from todays ride. Feel free to comment :popcorn:

Thank you for sharing the ride with us. Reminds me of Alaska, Northern MN, and some of the back roads here in Arkansas. :2thumbs: :yes:

Like you, I ride mostly with my old crew of 2-wheelers. They (we) frequently end up on dirt/gravel or 2-track connector 'roads'. So far they have yet to lose me but riding on 2-track is hard on the butt!

Awesome, and yes, it is hard on the butt !:agree:

yep me and the wife just got home from riding on secondary roads and to get from point a to point b we climbed up into the mountains then down the other side and that was gravel single lane, bike did great but yah the back tire running down the middle where 4 wheelers don't travel made for a rather rough ride at times.

That wide rear tire is kinda floating all over on that loose gravel in the middle sometimes. Sure makes the nanny get to work ;)

Ta for taking us along for the ride.

Yep for sure it swings when its a little loose.

I dont mind a bit of swing and feather that throttle and speed back a tad to make it back to riding at say 5/10th or so.
I always (cept for the mad minute sections now and again) attempt to ride well within my capabilities and that provides a comfort cushion of time if something pops up. Stuff swinging sideways around blind corners and the like.

My pleasure!
I prefer my rides safely within my capabilities, but for brief moments I must admit I try to be 25 and fearless and luckily figure out rather quick that I am not. :roflblack:
