Well that was more "Fuck me !, this it TErrible" more than "Fuck me, this is AMAZING" !! To quote. "Two wheels good, three wheels bad !" Perhaps you should try a Ural Outfit or maybe one of those four wheel fully enclosed jobs ? I recommend a Lexus. .

@I_am_Thursday I'm surprised I made it through your post without falling asleep. Get it right. My Lex wallows far WORSE than a Volvo, a Whale with a stroke is far more like it, but even on my Bikes I prefer Motorcycling to Masochism. Dick LOVES a good wallow, did you catch the time he took his Mutt snorkeling ? That sort of Biking can be liked to golf. A Good Day out RUINED ! .

It's hard to avoid bumbs on a three-track vehicle. I have the same problem on my F3-S when I'm back in Portugal. I wouldn't mind a Niken for Thailand, but they're too expensive here.
