Welcome to Steemit Peter. When I saw the title Whales On Land I thought you were referring to the Ducati. I live in Thailand, so going back to a Multistrada or a GS1200 would now probably feel like riding a whale, but the parks of Central and North Thailand are amazing.
They sure are, but the enduro is actually called "Angry Bird" cause if the head lights. If you ride be safe and maybe our paths will cross some day :)
