Before you sell that new motor cycle take it for a really good ride. I know you've dumped it a couple times, thankfully at slow to no speed. For me, this would be the reason to own one. I wouldn't care what the H/P was, or who will be impressed by it. I would just want to take it for this drive.

Looks like good fun on a light agile and powerful bike. Think trail bike with knobby tires.
I have a heavy and powerful bike that doesn't like turning with highway tires.

I am curious as to the function of the vertical yellow steel I beams along the trail are for other than to disembowel the wayward rider.

I noticed that as well. I guess to stop cars and trucks from taking the plunge but of little value for those on 2 wheels except to tie a rope to for dragging up the body.

Very cool ride, except for the rocks in the road.

A little outside my boundary. That would not be fun.
