Only dry session of the day.  Had a blast during the rain, nothing like dropping in and sliding sideways on knobbies ;D

Nice vid! But that must have taken some serious life off those knobbies.

Most of the wear was to the rear tire, the side knobs took quite a hit, running a Dunlop 908 RR which is past it's half life.  One more trip and it will be done.  Front tire did quite well, although there is a few times you could hear it complaining in the video.

And thanks :)

The front tire on my DR650 seems to last forever but only 3000 miles or so on the rear. But I've never given it a workout like that!
