well i went for a my first real ride yesterday. most of it was way to easy for the rokon but put thru it's paces i was riding with 3 friends they were on quads. we rode from the old glenn hwy bridge on the knik river up to the knik glacier. made some pretty good river crossings but was actually disappointed in the bike stalling in deep water the quads went through without any problem. i just rode off to one side away from the path of the quads and did fine. the bike restarted without any real problem after pushing it in to shallower water. when we were at the glacier one of the guys fell off and got very wet and cold. never touched botton by the time we got to him he was just holding on and very scared. took two of us to drag him out. i had rain pants and two extra coats and an other guy had a wool cap. he stripped shivering and got the other clothes on and warmed up pretty quick. burned about 1.5 gallons of fuel. eyes still irritated from all the dust. got plenty of odd looks from the many quad riders out yesterday and a few thumbs up. the rokon is awesome. my butt , inner thighs and triceps are kinda sore today...pretty good work out. good training run for me.
