I learned to ride sand from Jimmy Lewis, on my old BMW 1150 GS Adventure. I never liked riding sand. I found it easier and less work on a. small bike, XR400 Honda, but still didn't care for it. My 990R is much better in sand than the GS was but a good bit of work with a travel load on wearing street tires, near their end. Yeah, stupid stuff. Now at 70, I avoid sand riding.
Don't underestimate how tough this is on a bigger bike,love seeing the 990's still doing this ❤
😉😉
Excellent sand riding skills there😅
Thanks 😁
the 990r seems be so easy in the sand bro
It’s fairly easy at speed. Becomes big and bulky if it gets tight and twisty
good video what tyres please?
Bought the bike recently with TKC80 . Will change soon to something more offroad biased

Thanks for sharing!
I battle in the sand
Sand is a challenge….. lots of time on the saddle riding it before I felt comfortable
These are super skilled riders with no lack of talent and testicular fortitude !!!!
