R9T Island Ride

[Ack-CB11_imp]

I'd bet $109 that you are one of maybe 2-3 Are9ty owners in the entire world who will ever, ever take their brand new Bimmer out for a scramble. The other 99% probably cringe every time they have to ride thru a puddle.

I'm sure you're on a 90 forum, has anyone else converted theirs to a dual-sport?

You'd win that bet.
Just so you know, it's Beemer for bikes and Bimmer for the cars.
No new forums for me, just posting here and ADV on their R9T thread. Lurking everywhere else.
I've only seen a couple with knobby tires on-line with no dirt in sight. It really needs more suspension travel and ground clearance to be considered a dual sport but I just have to be a little careful. If I was over 5' 7" and stronger, I would have went with a GS. But you still rarely see those off road either.
I did see someone in a field with with one, no knobbies though.
That fender, I thought was going to be trouble. I figured a rock stuck in the tire would wreck it, but not so far. The front engine cover is made of a bumper cover like plastic and can really take a hit.
Besides all the sand, that little wash I went up was about the trickiest thing out here. I'm getting bolder and faster through the sand which makes it alot more fun............
