.. part 2 of my first day of riding in the area around Muscat, Oman. Shipping of my own motorcycle Basanti is delayed because of a logistical mistake by the airlines. So to keep myself busy (and riding!), I am riding around on a 450 CCM bike with Peter from Oryx Adventures - https://www.oryxadventures.com​ He organises day-tours and longer tours around Muscat and I'm so glad I found his company. He is showing me the best trails around the mountains that I would have never found by myself! But most importantly, I'm getting that very important off-road training that I've been wanting to do for some time now. There are so many techniques to learn when riding off-road and learning them and practicing them will be valuable for my entire upcoming trip! Riding around on a 450 CCM is quite different from my RE Himalayan but I enjoy it! This bike is almost half the weight (125 kgs) of my Himalayan, but has almost double the power (40 HP!). So you can imagine how much fun it is to ride a bike like that around the wadi's in Oman!
