Been itching to get back over there and see what the terrain is doing ... And on the 250 2t bike ... It has no problem with the size of the hills and soft dirt as compared to my 250cc 4t bikes ...The 4t bikes will probably go just as fast out there but you are gonna have to work them much harder than the 2t bike ... Might not be related but after a couple rides here, one 250 4t bike when belly up ... -- Ninja Point here ... This is back a mile or so from the point ..Not sure why it is so hazy looking here so often... My crew for the day ... This is that initial junction rd where we turn south and head towards Manunggal ... looking really dangerous here .... You could slide down that hill and survive but you will know you are on the express elevator going down.
Here's the entry point for this new road .. looks really bad here and these guys are gonna have to burn more diesel to get this junction safe..

Here's the ride out to the blocking point ... I know better than to drive into gnarly places without checking them first on foot, so when I was sitting on that slide and had to roll-back out, I felt pretty foolish... That is also an example of me running out of gas ... The work it took to get the back turned around drained about 1\2 my tank ... Didn't seem that bad but I was starting to hurt and wanted out of there. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Vj8V3yJ4U -- I was trying to rest on the way back out and regain some strength that was lost .... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1WV4cznFI8 -- The ContourRoam hangs upside down on my helmet now and you get a little better view and you can see all clutching is manual ... Somehow, the audio is even worst so maybe I'll make an adjustment there.
Made a few passes up and down the road and went back and walked over the slide I was blocked .... That opposite side was doable but I ~never take chances like that out there alone... I ~never should have even rode up to the top of the slide the first time ... It's all pretty steep around there but not a free-fall to death ... There are people out there, but they are starting to get scarce here .. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xYrTAN_-6Y
This is a longer version of the ride back from the slide ... I do a little mountain side viewing of the slides and you can see a few places I look at the banana plants that are growing back already in the middle of the road ... Mother nature does and will-be ok with or without our help .. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apcK7xh5cvw
