Awesome setup Red.
I was thinking you were doing gravel covered back roads and fire roads.

Yall went through some gnarly rocks and ruts.

Have you had any issues with the wheels bending?

Yes, electricmotorcycletours.com offers fun rides on paved and gravel roads, on much more easy terrain.

We finally purchased a GoPro and are experimenting with it. The day of riding featured on the video is a non-commercial, private ride with a friend on our privately owned motorcycles. My intentions are to show how much fun these motorcycles are; on all terrains. More to come.

Wheel dings and dents are the price to pay for riding gnarly rocks and ruts. I have not installed rim locks and therefor keep the tires above 16 psi to prevent tire slip. This helps to defer damage but at a loss of traction. When the day comes that I can take these motorcycles to deep sand (ie: UTAH!!) then, I will have rim locks and low pressure (6-8 psi).

Thanks for the input.
Ride On, Red Clay
