Offroad Training with a MUTT

Unread post by richard » May 18th, 2012, 12:11 am

My mechanician and I had an exciting outdoor day. The MUTT was fighting against eight different offroaders stuffed with electronic equipment. What shall I say: The old technic made it everwhere where others gave up. :D

Looks like you had fun. Pretty easy stuff, understandable when people show up with the 70k€ Mercedes M Class. The 151 can do much more...

Horst,

For me it was important to see what is possible. I learned in this stage, everything is possible. :D


Top,

I already had my first experience while it was raining and the streets were wet. That is fun. :idea:

I want to be on the other part of the coarse with an appropriate vehicle. :twisted:
That look like quite a wide variety of confidence coarses for both vehicle and maybe bicycle? in there. I see the raised wooden walkways that are rather large for walking but too light for motorcycles so I am thinking mountain bikes?

Rick, you're right. It is for mountain bikes (BMX bikes) and for trial trainings with the motorcycle as well. I have no idea whether they do Enduro or Moto-Cross trainings there as well.

Looks a little flimsy for motorcycles! I used to ride trials and what they do now is amazing!
