I'm not saying I'm the most experienced but it was pushing the limits for me. I needed to carry 50L of fuel and used every drop. There's some difficult, rutted sand sections which need quite a bit of speed on the big bike to stay in control.
I was lucky with weather—not too hot. I'm glad I did it but it's not something you just have a go at without prior experience in similar conditions.

thanks
the pic speaks for itself!
I have had some experiences with sands, actually quite a few but last one in the Sahara was in 2005 and riding Honda XRL 650 with Acerbis 44 lt thank much easier to handle than this AT I have got now.
What can I say. wrong age, wrong time, wrong bike( however this apply to me. I do not want to discredit a superb bike)
Thanks again for the useful advises!
