The Cyclone gets dirty….

You asked to hear the engine, and you wanted to see the Cyclone get dirty…

Yep, it was a 30-mile freeway blast to Lytle Creek, and I found myself at the start of Sheep Canyon Road…

Good riding, a bit of technical gnarly stuff (for an old geezer like me, anyway) and some great scenery…

No music on this one, per your request (that’s for you, MotoMapper!).    And you wanted me to get the bike dirty (that’s for you, Lance), and I sure did!

The downhill portion at the three-way fork was super steep…it’s hard to see in the video, but trust me, it was an invigorating ride.    And just in case you were wondering, the Baja ride won’t be anything like this (it will be 99+% asphalt).

More to follow, my friends…
