SAWEEEEET! nice bike!

Taken along the Flaming Gorge Rd. last month during a 6 day, 1022 mile loop thru Colorado, Utah and Wy.

2008 990 with new safari tanks:

Very nice photo Pyndon

Yeah, great action shot!



So, how d'you do?

Oh pretty well, 3rd overall out of 350 entries. Surprised a few people on Singles I think

Chris Hockey (former British Expert Enduro Champion and 7 times ISDE Medal winner - 3 gold) took the overall on a 2012 YZF450 (Trick Bike) and Craig Bounds (Dakar Racer) came 2nd on a 630 Husky. It was a great event for me and the big 950, everything fell into place with no mistakes, all the 690's came in behind me

Craig did well as he only got out of shoulder surgery 8 days before the event :eek1

Love this picture, check out the eyes!

Brilliant shots Pyndon,congrats on the result.
You really do ride that adventure!!

Pyndon, great pics and results. Congrats

What tyres have you been running on the 950 for the various rally's?

is there a set you prefer?

what sort of tyre pressures are you running?

D606 Front, Michelin Desert Rear and Michelin BIB Mousses. You cannot ride competitively in these rallies on a big heavy bike with air in the tyres, I found this out the hard way. Too many rocks and square edges to stay committed and not enough time between checks to repair punctures. But, you really need to take care of the mousses, especially on the big bike. Lube them every race and replace them when they are damaged which on the front is quite often .

Good stuff. Cheers

Pyndon is God.

I need a hi-res of that jump pic for my wallpaper.

I wish we had "rallys" here in my country as you guys have in yours.

I always impress:eek1 how some of you drive out there and want to drive some day like that

Here is one from me "practicing"

so.........
it´s the arrow or is the indian?

Yeah, I guess 3rd out of 350 qualifies as 'pretty well'!



Good stuff, well done!

Great form - perfect example of the bike going where the eyes are looking!

I went through this water hole when all the BMW guys rode around it. It wasn't very deep ( 20 inches?) but there was about 6 inshed of clay based mud at the bottom. It was both sticky and slick. I made it the first time, had to push it out the second time though, and tipped it over the third time. The bike stayed running during the tip over, I just picked it up and rode it out.
