"a bit slick in spots"?
It looks SO slick I damn near fell out of my chair just looking at it. I would think a good set of crash bars MIGHT get tested a time or two in that crap.
One good thing though, the sencond rider doesn't have to eat dust all day.

I hope to go up there some day. I just hope conditions are better than that though.

I would pretty much stop at the first bar and not leave until that stuff had dried up. Yikes.

Did a fair amount of that crap in 1980 and was 2 up on a R100T, had to stop periodically and clean the mud from the engine cooling fins.

Reminds me of my trip up the Dempster, I thought I could ride anything, WRONG slipperiest shit ever, had a couple of tough days just trying to stay upright. Good advice from the previous post, I think I will do the same next time, find the closest bar and wait for it to dry a little
