Hey all. This is a video of a ride I did on Saturday. 22 odd hours and just shy of a 1000k's. I road killed a Wallaby on this one but the Valk' seems no worse for wear. I don't think I have every really enjoyed riding for the pure pleasure of it more then when I got this bike. 0:00 Canungra to Grafton 2:16 Gwydir Hwy 3:47 The Gibraltar Range 6:54 Looking for the Wind Farm 9:11 Wallaby strike 9:55 Credits and more of the Range https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaxqWzLHYZo |

Thanks and yeah Kangaroos too tho hitting a full grown one of those buggers would have resulted in a different outcome. They are much larger.

...about as often as a nice rat sandwich  You got those lights on the rear??? Man I would be shot, fined and then run over by the guys that can't see anymore behind me... in that order too! Thanks for the link to the light controller. Always possibilities. |

Man that still must be so bright behind you. They sure wont miss it. Do you have pics of the back mate? There is no way I could imagine I would get away with that for long over hear but very interested to see what it looks like.

Nice video and looks like a great time was had. Hitting that roo must have been a heart stopper, but the bike didn't deflect much if at all. Love the weight and balance of our bikes.
