Interestingly, all the bikes were on Metzeler tyres and were on a mix of the Metzeler Karoo 3 tyres... which is what I use on my Africa Twin and Metzeler MC360 tyres for the accent.

Respect due for that.

I crossed over the San Francisco Pass in that area using a KTM 990. It was my turn to be poorly because of the altitude; a mere 4720 metres or so.
