VStrom 1000 hill climb
« on: May 12, 2014, 05:30:12 AM »
I found this hill while out on the 2nd ride of my newly acquired vstrom 1000. While it probably wasn't the smartest thing to do seeing as how it has bridge stone trail wings and not knobbys, well it is an "adventure" bike, let the adventure begin! I got halfway up and realized it was way bigger than it looked from the road. I made it about 30 ft from the top and ran outta traction. Getting it back down to where the pics were taken was no easy task! I maybe would have given it another try had I not been alone. I will take my xt600 next time and conquer it for sure! Google images showa ton of trails up top i'd like to explore!

Haha! That is too funny! Any idea why they got flipped? I resized them and that seemed to work.
