700 kilometers on the clock already, no more issues with the clutch :thumbup:
I want to take an off road riding course now, this bike is a tractor, it is not fast, but it climbs hills without blinking, lol, there are lots of places to go off road around here to take advantage of this bike.

Nice machine. I'd still do a PDI just like on a scoot.

I should forward some of the vid-links my best friend has sent me. He recently got a duo? bike, or maybe just trails bike? Not a true dirtbike, but still designed to go on dirt trails and rocks and over tree limbs and crazy stuff. Loves it. His wife sent him to the get-together in I think TN where for part of a week they drove trails and showed off skills on courses and things that gave me the willies thinking about. Just don't get too wild on it until you've got more experience with the off-road stuff, please. I don't want to read another thread from you on broken bones.... >'Kat |

I like trials, one of my childhood friends does trials on bicycle, his dad did it professionally on motorcycle when he was young, crazy how they climb all that stuff. In my case I just want to do some adventure riding, nothing too crazy, not looking forward to get another broken bone, I've had my fair share I know, sweets, I know. Between your broken bones and my cut bones, we've had more than our fair share. Not my friend, but the same bike-- And not what he's doing, but interesting to see what's possible on these bikes-- And just found the vid he made of him practicing over a small log he set up in his yard. But he sent it direct, not posted on youtube. I don't know how to post a downloaded video here. I can email it directly to you if you really want to see it. It's really short, but might give you some ideas how to safely practice. >'Kat |

Not to far from Tampa Bay is the Santos Trail Head which has several bicycle trails for everyone to enjoy including one marked "For Advanced Riders Only" however it appeared to be blocked off by a bunch of boulders and felled trees. When one got closer you could read the sign advising that if you could not ride over the obstacles in front of you that you should not climb over them and attempt to ride on the Advanced Riders Trail. I doubt I could have climbed over them never mind ride a pedal bicycle over them. Despite the cane the right leg is good enough for me to ride a pedal bike if it has clips on the pedals.
If I go on a trail ride I'll stick to riding around the potentially life altering stuff be it with pedals or a motor.

I feel your pain. 30" inseam for me has to even be washed a couple of times. looks sweet... congrats. I have a 30" inseam so tall bikes are big problems for me... with me it's not about flatfooting them, it's getting my dang leg over 'em. My 1500cc Goldwing is almost too tall. |

BTW, speaking of all things dual sport, check out Spicy 110's rather active site on YouTube. (He started out with the Chinese made version of your bike sold in the UK)
