Made the video after I went to do a pivot turn to move the bike, it's the first bike I've had that squeals the tyre like that so i got the phone out thinking it was pretty funny.

Knees are good, nearly rode the bloody thing into my office. It was too heavy to cover the clutch, so as I stood it up I had to get the clutch in. :o Only video'd it in case it got ugly.

I do vinduros on the XR.

That's the first I've heard of Vinduro. I presume that it's similar to the AHRMA class.

Vintage Enduro, around 6 events per year in Victoria Australia and a couple of events in other states, non competitive just 6 hours of circulating on an arrowed loop, open to any pre '85 bikes with front and rear light.

The XR500's a bit low and wide below the pegs so it isn't ideal but the motor makes up for the shortcomings.
