    Just thought I would share,

    The video is kind of boring but my go pro died early on, plus was aimed poorly or not turned on 80% of the time.


    BUT! It was an awesome ride, unfortunately broke a spoke nipple on my warp 9 wheels and had to cut it off to ride.

    Dirt roads about 1:30 mark.

    Well....it cracked in half horizontally actually.

    They are sending me a couple spokes and nipples in case more are damaged.

    Warp 9 had never seen that before either :)

    How many guys actually take those wheels off road? Most I see look like they are allergic to dirt.

    All kidding aside, street meats on the trail can be sketchy. My Electra Glide gets weird on off camber logging roads too.

    I think I am going to try some pilot road 4 trail tires.

    The roads get damp here in norcal in the winter (lets face it, it never actually rains) and I am thinking the sipes on the front tire will make it do much better offroad.

    I never take mine offroad until I joined Sacramento Supermoto facebook page and now I am jumping in on their rides and they find fire trails up past folsom/lake tahoe area. My bike is perfect on the fire roads, the 17's squirm but it is lowered 1.5" plus the seat is shaved and the 17's lower it.....it could fly dirt track style :)

    Nothing like practicing some flat track tradecraft.
