Jan 2025 Metcalfe Ride
It was supposed to be a 2-day ride up through Wombat/Lerderderg/Upper Loddon/Goldfields but due to technical problems, we ended up cutting it short. Will try again in a couple of weeks.

Day 1 - Training
Переглядів 204Місяць тому
The first two days of the ORS event are training - starting back at the basics of how to pick up a bike (cause you're gonna drop it), body position, balance, throttle/clutch/brake control. It was wet this morning and tested my skills in muddy conditions. I'm loving the 450MT for this and am getting a lot of jealous looks from the big bike riders. :-)

    • @lastdatabender
      @lastdatabender 29 днів тому

      Yeah - it seems a poor design as it's raised relative to the switch block and easy to snag something under it. Not like switches on other bikes where you can't do that. I'll provide my local dealer with feedback about this - hopefully they improve this in future models.

    Hi. How does the CF feel on those sorts of rides? I’m on a DR650 at the moment and I’m wondering if your bike does it easy or if it feels like hard work. Thanks

    • @lastdatabender
      @lastdatabender 4 місяці тому

      I find it a very easy bike to ride in this style of terrain. It’s (obviously) lighter and more nimble than a big ADV bike - I also have a GS1250 which is incredibly capable but more work in the technical stuff. The CF is really well balanced, feels planted on the faster flowing sections, and has a fun amount of power which is why I replaced my CRF300 Rally with it.
