They think that was hard. Rolling Eyes

They want to try riding from Preston to the Ring in 1 day on a GSXR400. Laughing

Indeed, I have read it before and it is absolutely superb.

The beach/dune crossing is insane, and it is well worth the time reading the entire thread...

Carvell, if you haven't seen it, have a look in the ridereports on advrider - read that report there and there's loads more like it. 'Real' people doing 'real' adventuring.

I wouldnt call a GSXR400 a sports tourer. Laughing

Did a couple of thousand miles on that trip and got a proper aching arse.
