No matter the trail or trial, Brent's V-Strom handled superbly under his piloting. Before selecting the F800ST, the "Wee" was high on my list. It's a great bike--has to be--it has the same engine as my beloved and wildly popular, SV650.
Anyway...hop on over to read and enjoy Brent's full account. Brent is a professional photographer/journalist so you'll be gifted with spectacular scenes and wise words. Dang, I should have led you there as the events were unfolding...didn't think of it then.
Enjoy!
