    That’s was great to watch thank you.
    I too keep forgetting to change the modes, it’s hard to remember when you are caught up in the experience, enjoying yourself and too busy looking at the scenery.😃
    I ride similar forestry tracks here in Tasmania and have been reasonably impressed with the Anakee, for a tyre sold with the bike it's not bad.!
    I am like you I will change them when they run out.
    Keep up the great work and safe riding.👌👍😃🏍

    So! It was to the left then and not through the farm. I don't think I'd have any teeth left if I went down that track. I see you tried to keep up with them for a while but glad you came to your senses, the GS is a great bike but it's heavy and has it's limitations. What is it you say when you come up to the gate at 10.26 in the film, I can't make it out. Awesome ride and it looks like you really enjoyed yourself, keep the videos coming.

    • @Adventure4LifeTV
      @Adventure4LifeTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it was the left.. Your right, the GSA is a monster and i wasn't going to try and keep up with those 2. I'd love to try the track on one of those lighter bikes though, just for fun :)
      I just checked the video and i say "permit holders only", thats what the sign on the gate said.

    @drzero9360 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You did great riding off road on that beast! The GS carries so much momentum into even the smallest of bends and the traction is even worse with street biased rubber. My recommendation for your next tire: MT07+

    • @Adventure4LifeTV
      @Adventure4LifeTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Dr,

    Looks like a typical day in Wales (weather wise), I've done that track several times from both sides but never actually joined them up, been put off by the ford crossing. Great footage and commentary. Did you have enduro pro mode selected? I find that this mode eats up this kind of terrain.

    • @Adventure4LifeTV
      @Adventure4LifeTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Jak,
      Yes, the weather was typical that day, in fact it was quite good really as usually it throws it down. Thanks for your comments regarding the footage etc, I really appreciate it :)
      I didn't have Enduro mode on, I always forget to switch it over. I will defo give it a go on my next track.
