Gravel - not recommended

[Doorag]

I went to an enduro race this weekend (to take pictures) and thought it would be a good idea to ride the Fazer down. It was fine until I hit an off-camber, downhill left turn on gravel. Let's just say that Conti RoadAttacks aren't the best for riding on gravel and that you should either be really stoopid or have balls of steel to even attempt it. I fall into the former category, by the way.

I did manage to make it in and out about a mile each way though. Won't be doing it again.

Here she is after the ride in.

And a couple of the pics I took while there.

Don't let it get to you, but you aren't prophetically allowed to crash.

Wow! Those pictures look...above professional! How'd you get the overhead shot? They look like the ones on the front of STUNT BIKE magazines and stuff!!

Dude, those pics are freaking awesome! You've got some talent there.

Cool pics man. You are supposed to shoot rooster tails of gravel all over everyone. Remember that for next time. LOL

You find the right endro mag and you can make some free lance money send those in

If you mean dirty then my bike always looks sick i live on a mile of dirt road :spank: my bike is never spotless and if you wanna try something to really test your motorcycle skills i'd recommend riding home in the rain on a nice muddy dirt road i was about a half a second away from crashing like 3 times! told my self i'll never do that again

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. The boggy bit was in a pertty wide ditch, so there was a ledge next to where the riders needed to go. I was about 6' above the muddy bit, so it was a good spot with a unique angle. The good thing about the enduro races is that you can get by the side of the track (and on the track if you are brave/stupid enough) and get some great 'danger shots'.

I wish i could take a photo half that good, some great shots.

Man, awesome shots! I work with some pretty decent professional photographers and they all know how to catch the moment, and put the viewer in the picture, which you seem to have done quite well here...great job!
