      @@mattie_world I know! How mad was that, had a feeling it was me when I first saw it, then was sad enough to screenshot an zoom in, defo me!😆 Did u manage all of the trail sections on the western trail, I hear some are a bit technical for the big adventure bikes? You rode really well on a big bike on the ones you showed. Looking to do it all on my Drz then hopefully again when I finally get the Triumph rally pro that I want.😊
