Bike weight
Hi Guys,
My first post..... so be gentle
We are also looking to do our first trip soon to SA two up. We ride a GSA up in the high country of Vic Aust regularly and enjoy it. All the comments regarding the weight of the bike and it being a drag, are these primarily centered around dropping the bike and having to pick it up or guiding it through ruts and washed out gullys or through thick mud. Sure we put the bike down and the wife and I get thrown off but isnt that just part of the enjoyment (she may not think so as I landed on her head last time)
I think we've covered most types of ground in our travels around home but now Im starting to have concerns that we have underestimated things.
As has been stated we will still enjoy the bike and go where we can but is a lighter bike better purely because its easier to drag out of the mud?
