When it comes to off road is all about respecting the weight of this machine. A 1/3rd ton motorcycle is serious difficult to lift up off even the slightest tip over off the pavement.

Well, i personally love the weight. I rode 400 miles yesterday. 350 of it interstate. It was quite enjoyable. The stability in windy conditions is admirable. and plenty of power to pass Jethro with a truck full of scrap metal and couches. And i averaged 46.3 mpg. I am now considering buying a new windscreen. Any thoughts on the National Cycles V-stream? Or just add an extension?

What did the Doritos Farmer say to the other Doritos farmer? Cool Ranch, man.

I drop it a few times last year . I think with the good technique its quite easy! Back to the bike , grab one grip and anywhere on the frame or passenger handle and push with your legs.

On the pavement that works fine. On a slight off camber slippery surface it's all but impossible to get off the ground. I actually got a lifting winch that stays on top of my bike bag at all times.
