After putting 200 klm on it i thought its time to get dirty so i went on a loop from home at 6.30 this morning ( 160 klm around 40 dirt ) 

I was surprised how good it felt , at no time did i feel unsure about what would happen . Doesn't like corrugations though - the fairing gets a rattle going .

 ( pic 1 ) Around 30 kph average through here i saw  a dozen piglets and a mummy pig that made me skid a little as they were across the road and i came on them suddenly .

( pic 2 ) Stopped next to some grass tree's probably the roughest section not very quick through here . 

( pic 3 ) This is practically a dirt hwy averaged about 60 kph that soon enough turned into a new wide smooth empty sealed road so speeds were higher .

Such a sweet handling bike

You are of course correct Mr Picard just my local back road . On or near the road 2 steers , 1 calf , 3 wallabies and the pigs so a quiet morning .

 

Settled on the dirt and looking to go harder on the tar . I am pretty pleased with this bike  ( getting a sore bum though ) :sorry:

Took the day off for my wedding anniversary and my wife said you should go for a ride so off i went found an old railway tunnel with bats it was nice and shady ( 33c today )

About 8 klm of light loose gravel , bike just ate it up ( is the TDM this good in the dirt or is it the MT60 front tyre ? )
