I didn't watch the whole thing (who the f
k would?) but the bloke doesn't seem terrifically experienced, and it's a heavy and expensive thing to drop, he knows this, is stressed, but giving it a go anyway.
The bloke has got fking balls. He's out there, in brilliant scenery with like minded people, giving it a go, and making memories that will last a life time. What percentage of ADV bikes actually get used even like that? 1%? What percentage of people take chances like that? 0.001%?
As for the bike, yeah, sure a 1990s 2T would have been much easier on the trails, but not so good with the hundreds of miles getting there and back.
Fair play to him.
