Africa Twin would be too tall for that hair raising event. And too top heavy. In that regard you were lucky to be on the CB. In cases like that I much prefer going up to going down.
Glad you had a happy ending!

and I was upset because I had to ride for at 25MPH for a on hour or so on fresh gravel and oil recently. It was annoying but all i had to do was clean the bike after.

The worst part of that is hearing the "tinks" of little rocks hitting your pipes

Very well told indeed, j3gq. My heart was in my mouth. I'm glad you got through unscathed.

Quite a story! I'm glad you lived to tell the tale.
Maybe Cormanus will share a similar yarn from our adventure in OZ. I don't think pterodactyl will mind... Statute of Limitations and all that

You are an excellent storyteller! I was on the edge of my seat the from the very beginning! Sounds like you stared into the abyss and said to it, "Not today!"

Perhaps more relevantly this story http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9480&pid=149462#pid149462 in which I use the same frog metaphor as j3gq for a similar situation. My tale was not so brilliantly told.

I don't know or ride on Africa Twins or the like. Last time I rode an Enduro must have been in 1980 and a Yamaha single/two-stroke 400. But that is sooo long ago.
Would have never guessed that there could be a dirt road experience where my CB might take a lead over a solid Enduro. Interesting opinion.

Great story j3gq! I've run into similar albeit not quite as hair raising experiences. You find yourself sure you are going down and then amazed you make it though unscathed. I'm glad you did!
