Icon in the sand dunes

There is a reallly pretty place about 130km north of Perth in Western Australia called Lancelin, famous for it's beaches and sand dunes.

I took a trip out there today for a bit of a photo shoot.

The area is a mixture of hard packed lmestone and very soft sand. The bike handled the harder sections fine, but wasn't great in the sand. Dropping the tyre pressures and having a rider who knew what the **** they were doing would surely help.

On the road it pushes wide under power in corners, rear suspension is a bit average on choppy roads, and the bars need to be changed. Otherwise it's pretty well sorted. Suspension upgrades are certainly on the cards.


Anyway, here is Princess Buttercup
