Can a Pan America survive a big bike race? Boom!! Yes it can! That was a tough two hour grueling battle against 18 other big bikes with me on the Pan and a guy on a GS being the biggest bikes. The terrain was harder than I expected, quite a lot of first gear slow technical stuff. We had deep puddles, thick mud, rocks, climbs and slippery off camber turns, but we survived. What mods did I do?
Not much. Removed the mirrors and tail lights. Added Michelin Anakee Wilds for grip and rocked up. I only came up with the idea the day before so it was a standard Pan America and...bar the tiny first ride review I did this was my first time off road properly on it. What would I change next time?
Probably the rider so I had more skillz 🤣
But also adjust the suspension for my weight. I actually head butted the front fairing at one point. That was a shock! 😳 oh an doing the first lap with traction control on wasn't ideal! Turns out there's a massive on/off button. I'd also...given this was a race and not just an adv adventure, some proper knobbly tyres would have really helped for the front wheel wash out. But...
Having said that we still made it and of 18 BIG bikes...Guess where I came? 11th. Boom! And I didn’ break anything...although I did have one drop 😬
Conclusion. If you're willing to have fun. The Pan will have fun with you! 🤪
