See, you guys are the real deal, I'm talking about people with matching bikes and outfits that ride on the bitumen in formation, and people like Charley Boorman who get followed by a truck load of accommodation, and complain about wearing the same clothes "all day"!! :lol:

Two totally different things. A film of millenniums with no clue, riding areas where they have no business being. Bad idea, no matter how you look at it. What KTMguy and his buds do is being proficient on the bikes and just knowing what they are doing. I don't care for offroad, but I would much rather watch guys that know what they are doing............ :thumbup:

I say Yay to the guys doing it for the first time and adventure :thumbup: Take the chance, learn something new, be bold, step out of your comfort box.

"This film promises beautiful scenery in one of the world’s most epic places to ride, combined with the trials and tribulations of finding one’s self".
Finding one's self. Who's to say or tell them how they should do it or cast disparaging remarks?

I say good for them and no cap on them for doing it or ANYONE stepping out of the box and doing some adventure - any kind of adventure. Climb Everest (or trek across Nepal yep).... Sleep in the Great Pyramid (yep). Explore Machu Picchu at night (yep). Be bold!

I like people who are not fraidycats and live in a little square box. :wave:

Wow these millennium's sure look old?

Finding one's self? Ahhhhh haha....... If they are lost at their ago, it's a lost cause. And not doing stupid stuff is not being in a box, it's just not doing stupid stuff........... :roll: :roll: :roll:

Stupid stuff like skiing, skydiving, racing motorcycles? Lets just ban everything because someone thinks it's stupid stuff". If everyone puts down what others do that's just wrong.

Sounds like too much PC to me..... agreeing to only being positive about everything, even thought it's stupid. Sorry, I will think for myself, thank you..........

I gotta vote for stupid stuff in general. I don't know about taking off on a big motorcycle adventure with next to zero motorcycle experience in particular, but a good part of the most fun times of my life have been doing stupid stuff. Stupid stuff last fall:

It all comes to stupidity assessment percentages. (SAP) Jim you have been riding for decades, taking a little bike on a small track, SAP, 10%. Buying a BMW 1000rr as your first bike and riding as fast as you can on the dragon, SAP of 100%.

People do dangerous stuff all the time, the ones who live, keep their SAP in the 80% and up range.

I just wonder if those guys would have done it, if making money wasn't involved........ :roll:

How about buying an H2 for my first motorcycle, but without the Dragon as fast as possible part? :lol:

(Did you mean 80% and below?)
