    Crap, i'm just not sure i'd be happy riding that, even on my CRF230. It would be a nice walk though

    Looks like fun, not sure if I would do it though.

    That is "trail riding" not "venture riding" I am just too old for that stuff any more, even on a little bike with a great big back sprocket.

    Bigger bikes are for venture riding not that stuff, unless you are "Superman" or something!

    Venture riding for me is where there is a formed road of some sort, beyond that trail riding begins, so where does trail riding end for those guys?

    I think I am getting too old for some of what I call venture riding too, damn it, I guess I will soon be too bloody old for "tarmac"!

    Use it while you have still got it boys and girls it ends sooner than you think! Cheers John.
