Yeah , I thought -"no big deal " too. :shock:  ,  
  Mind you Chris Birch has only ridden and won The Roof Africa a few times, Romaniacs, Erzberg, etc,, so yeah- punting the 1190 around on the video was no big deal,,    Pull ya head in Craig and watch and appreciate the clip for what it is --- Bloody fabulous bike control.


Chris is a great rider and a professional, he's won Roof of Africa 3 times, Romaniacs once and never won Erzberg. 
So to see a pro rider riding a big bike on some fairly easy  terrain is no big deal.
if it was your average punter or local racer riding a big bike like that then I'd be impressed, any PRO rider could ride that terrain with his eyes closed.
The bike did sound awesome though!
Do not pull your head in Craig.

I think so long as everyone is riding within their capabilities and having fun that's all that matters....shouldn't make any difference how many k's you do or how heavy your bike is.

just ride and have fun,
