Aprilia Tuareg 660 First Ride (Pre-Idaho BDR Shakedown Run)

I've test ridden the Aprilia Tuareg 660 a few times and even spent a few days riding one in Moab last fall...but I'm about to head out and do the ultimate test of an adventure bike: a week long IDBDR motorcycle adventure. Before I go I wanted to at least test out all my adventure motorcycle luggage, gear, and mods on a shorter ride closer to home. On this ride, I head out into my local woods to put my Aprilia Tuareg 660 BDR setup to the test. This was a quick Tuareg 660 first ride where I had a chance to get the Tuareg 660 off road and do some highway/freeway riding on it, all while fully loaded up with my Mosko Moto Reckless 80 filled with motorcycle camping gear. Did the Tuareg pass the test? What changes will I make to my setup before I go ride the Tuareg 660 on a BDR? Watch and find out!
