Eddie is leading a big-bike friendly ride soon. Here is the video of the pre-ride so you can see what the route is like. It includes frequent stops at Starbucks to refresh.

That last bit with the 690 is what I have a little problem with. I have to remember that I only have 8 1/2" of ground clearance and not 12".

Nice video.

Cheers,

That guy can ride that 690! You see him jump the log? In another spot he puts a foot down, wheelies the front wheel up and pivots to position the bike to continue up the hill....like it was a little dirt bike. The 690 is a very nice compromise...all depends on which way you want to go on that compromise scale. 8)
