I had a fantastic day on Saturday, taking the GS properly off-road for the first time. The weather was rather mixed, starting out nice but with some rain and hail later. It didn’t stop five of us having a ball in the mud though. The new tyres were perfect for the job even if the rider wasn’t! I fell off enough to test various aspects of my set-up – most things survived OK apart from the Satnav bracket which broke, the mirrors kept being knocked loose but stayed in one piece and the gear lever which was bent double on one occasion and merely 90 degrees on another survived the bending back to its original position.
First we got the bikes muddy, then we cleaned them:-
