Blasting on Dusty trails in Atacama desert
Heading to San Pedro de Atacama, a city lost in desert of same name. 36 degrees under the sun, 144 km of gravel roads, driving mad Max style, "reasonable" 130kmh was the challenge of the day, made it alive ! Heading tomorrow to a pass that sits at 4,850m high...So far 2'600km under the belt...more please. Salut a Tous.

Are you staying in 3'rd gear ?
Anyway...I am envious - enjoy the riding and stay safe!!
Missile, correct these bikes "tapent" over 190 kmh on asphalt (did it) but 130kmh was fastest on gravel/loose stones/dust/sand roads...(did it too)...scary but so fun ! Great bikes indeed.
