Riding some dirt roads around Blowing Rock NC with some pavement thrown in to add perspective.

Lol you bought the wrong bike. A vstrom would have been more appropriate for the roads you ride.

Talk about dirty bikes afterwards! What a dirt road ride that was! Plus trying to avoid cow patties at the same time!

I enjoyed the video. The CB does great on dirt as long as you take it fairly easy. Not so sure how it would make out against a bull however. Smile

So true Ferret and guess what was one of the bikes I sold to get the CB? yep-- a 06 1000 Vstrom. A great bike, but I do so like this Honda--- no regrets--well maybe a little. Buyer emailed me that it turned over 50k miles and running fine.

It's the new Garmin VIRB, mounted on the handle bars.

Not that has anything to do with the OP, but the Cows and Helicopters keywords came up with this on YT:
