Even with studed tires, that still looks pretty sketchy. You're a braver man than I HS!!

[thecuriouscritic]

Adventure = Riding past the same spot a few times with over-used star wars music?

[Pwn00b]

@thecuriouscritic Star Wars?

[ravenglass666]

@thecuriouscritic

Star Wars music? Come on! This is 'O Fortuna' from 'Carmina Burana' by Carl Orff. One of the most recognizable and widely used pieces of classical music in the world!!

You're right about the major lack of excitement in the video though...lol

Very nice video. I understand that those tires are great for the snow. But, how do you deal with the ice on the road. The GS1200 is quite heavy and it has to be difficult to manage on such situation.

@1guitarlover

Hi 1guitarlover, it is not as bad as you would think. First, I have studded, knobby tires, without that I wouldnt even try. Then the trick is to keep head and eyes up and let the bike move under you. If you look down or try to manhandle the bike, then it wont stay up. I have an old blog entry about getting the tires here: hakansoderbom dot spaces dot live dot com/blog/cns!26238E197BFD0B01!­1366.entry

Hi @Bowerstone1th

It is an AWESOME bike! I participated in the Adventure Challenge earlier this year. Check out some unbelievable pictures here: cid-26238e197bfd0b01 dot photos dot live dot com/browse.aspx/Adventure%20Ch­allenge%20and%20GS%20Challenge­%202010. The pictures when I am in the air and the hard landing are just fantastic. (Sorry for the strange link, just replace the "dot"s with real ".")
