Test ride continued.

We left early this morning, the dust was minimal on the Trunk Road due to the rain overnight and there was next to no traffic.  We headed south, destination Sundry, Alberta.
We did some decent off road riding to get to a viewpoint. This time it was my turn to find some water. I crested a hill with little time to brake and plowed through a large puddle.   Kyle noticed the cloud of steam from the exhaust and managed to slow down in time.  My boots were full and the rest of me was soaked!
Soon after we headed out I took the lead. After a few minutes of riding I decided to look back and Kyle was no where to be seen. After waiting that dreaded minute wondering what where he was and what happened and how bad it was going to be I turned around and found Kyle lying in the ditch with with our newly welded case torn off the bike.

Looked like it got a little squirrley..  After going down at approx 80km/h Kyle was unhurt.  The racks... well they need some more thought.  IMG_0146
