Mr G Martin rides an AT at Cadders

This short clip confirms my theory that the Africa Twin would handle tarmac better with smaller wheels.

Not.

To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

I've seen some really fast riders on adventure bikes / super Motos on track days. Twisty narrow tracks suit this style of bike. The AT would be usless at snetterton or Silverstone GP.
Great riding as usual from G.u.y Martin though but the bloke following on this busa, was he struggling to keep up ?  :shrug:
Chief trouble maker 🙂

great video. At first it looked like the busa was keeping up, then g.u.y. was gone!

Great video, g.u.y was quicker out of the corners.
