Pipestone on KTM950SE

Piddling around Pipestone when it was new and I was still a bit timid with it. It looks like I'm moving pretty slowly but the camera is on top of my helmet and I'm standing on the pegs and the KTM is seriously tall... so the view is from over 7.5 feet above the ground. At the beginning when I zip through the gears on the loose gravel road, the speedometer is reading 73mph. That's the bottom 1/4 of 4th gear. When there is room to use them, 5th and 6th gear make things even more interesting, though I don't do that here. When there is a clear view ahead, the GPS says that 119mph on dirt roads is entirely possible, even with a 250 pound rider sitting upright.
