I've been looking around for a few off the beaten path places to ride. Lately we've been looking for some spots to over night with our hammocks. This is short clip of trail and riding under some bridges I tried out today. The camera is just an iPhone. I will say a heidenau k61 and Michelin s1 are not ideal off road tires.

Lol! I have to confess that I have tried taking the Buddy off road a few times. Let's just say that it is entertaining to watch! Where in KC are you riding? I lived in Independence MO and Olathe, Ks, while going to grad school. KC has a lot more hills than most people would expect! I used to ride my Yamahs XS400 (NOT a dirt bike) on some of the trails out there on weekends.

What do you have on top of your speedo?

Blue river area. That's a trail tech vapor. Speedo, tach, odo, cht all in one. I've got it set to light the shift light at 8500 Rpms. The stock speedo was a joke.

Actually the buddy isn't too bad. You have to be willing to put your feet down a lot because there isn't much traction or suspension travel. I only got stuck once. I'm not sure how much having a lot of extra power helps.
